Ambiente: milieu / zona climatica / distribuzione batimetrica / gamma di distribuzione
Ecologia
marino; acqua dolce; salmastro pelagic-neritic; anadromo (Ref. 51243); distribuzione batimetrica 0 - 50 m (Ref. 188). Subtropical; 13°S - 27°S, 112°E - 126°E (Ref. 188)

Dimensione / Peso / Età
Maturità: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 13.0 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 188); common length : 10.0 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 188)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 13 - 21; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 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.
