Ecologie
marien; brak water rifbewoner; diepte 0 - 100 m (Ref. 89972), usually 2 - 60 m (Ref. 90102). Tropical; 28°N - 28°S
Indo-Pacific: Mauritius to the Society Islands, north to the Hawaiian Islands, south to Sydney Harbor, New South Wales, Australia (Ref. 7300).
Grootte / Gewicht / Leeftijd
Maturiteit: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 16.5 cm SL mannelijk / geslacht onbekend; (Ref. 37816)
Dorsale stekels (totaal) : 0; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 10 - 11; Anale stekels: 0; Anale zachte stralen: 9 - 10. Saurida differs from all other lizardfishes by possessing several rows of villiform teeth extending outward onto the lips beyond the normal row of large canine, and 9 instead of 8 pelvic rays. The species is recognized by the large dark blotches below the dorsal fins (Ref. 48635).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: circular.
Benthic in sand, mud, rock and eel-grass habitats (Ref. 58302). Solitary on sand and silt bottoms (Ref 90102). Feeds on small fishes (Ref. 89972). Found primarily inshore, e.g. in mangroves and seagrass beds, also near streams and river mouths. Piscivorous. Caught with artisanal gear. Sold fresh in markets.
