Ecologie
marien; zoet water; brak water pelagic-neritic; anadroom (Ref. 51243); diepte 0 - 50 m (Ref. 188). Subtropical; 13°S - 27°S, 112°E - 126°E (Ref. 188)

Grootte / Gewicht / Leeftijd
Maturiteit: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 13.0 cm SL mannelijk / geslacht onbekend; (Ref. 188); common length : 10.0 cm SL mannelijk / geslacht onbekend; (Ref. 188)
Dorsale stekels (totaal) : 0; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 13 - 21; Anale stekels: 0; Anale zachte stralen: 12 - 23. Distinguished from all other Australian Herklotsichthys by the series of large and almost oval black spots on the flank, sometimes with a second partial row below. Herklotsichthys Species A has much smaller, round spots and is more slender, the hind edges of its scales not denticulate. Elongate wing-like scales present underneath the normal paired pre-dorsal scales.
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: compressed.
Forms schools in coastal waters and enters inlets and lower reaches of rivers.
