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.
Entorno: milieu / zona climática / rango de profundidad / gama de distribución
Ecología
marino; salobre pelagic-oceanic; oceanodromo (Ref. 51243); rango de profundidad 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).

Descripción breve
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 0; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 57 - 66; Espinas anales: 0; Radios blandos anales: 58 - 69; Vértebra: 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.
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: oval.
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).
