Bregmacerotidae (Codlets)
Etymology: Bregmaceros: Greek, bregma = front of the head + Greek, keras, -atos = horn (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: John McClelland (1805–1875) was a British doctor with interests in geology and natural history. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Écologie
marin; saumâtre; océanodrome (Ref. 51243); profondeur 0 - 2000 m (Ref. 26165). Subtropical; 25°N - 6°N, 62°E - 100°E
Indian Ocean: confirmed from the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal. Reports from outside this area are most likely misidentifications (A.S. Harold, pers. comm., 18/08/98) and name reported from western Pacific may be a misidentification of B. pseudolanceolatus (Ref. 114229).

Max length : 9.6 cm SL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 4496); common length : 7.0 cm SL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 2872); poids max. publié: 8.50 g (Ref. 128684)
Description synthétique
Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie
Épines dorsales (Total) : 0; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 57 - 66; Épines anales: 0; Rayons mous anaux: 58 - 69; Vertèbres: 52 - 58. Body is elongate, brownish and with speckling above and silvery below. The cheek and lower head also silver. Single occipital ray long and delicate, extending to near the middle of the second dorsal fin (Ref. 46075). Pelvic fins are jugular.
If taxonomy is correct, both onshore in brackish water and oceanic. According to larval survey, occurrence in the tropics is wide (Ref. 9902, 45075). Feed on planktonic crustaceans. Also caught with bagnets (Ref. 2872).
