Issue
The species Johnius sina (Cuvier, 1830) is considered as valid in Ref. 122871.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / गहराई सीमा / distribution range
पारिस्थितिकी
समुद्री; खारा ड़िमरसल; औशिनोड़िरोमस (Ref. 51243); गहराई सीमा 5 - 50 m (Ref. 122858). Tropical; 26°N - 8°N
Indian Ocean: Pakistan to the Andaman Islands. Records outside this area are probably misidentifications (e.g. of Johnius dorsalis in Africa).
