Sillaginidae (Smelt-whitings)
Etymology: Sillago: From a locality in Australia.
Eponymy: In Greek mythology, Aeolos was the keeper of the winds and king of the mythical floating island of Aiolia. There is no etymology for the sillago, and the fish might be named after the meaning of the name Aeolos: ‘nimble’. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Entorno: milieu / zona climática / rango de profundidad / gama de distribución
Ecología
marino demersal; no migratorio; rango de profundidad 0 - 60 m (Ref. 6205). Tropical; 34°N - 20°S, 35°E - 132°E (Ref. 6205)
Indo-Pacific: Singapore, Thailand, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Philippines, and southern Japan. Possibly distributed throughout the Indo-West Pacific from Delagoa Bay, South Africa to Okinawajima, Japan but not recorded from Australia or southern New Guinea. Very similar to Sillago burrus.
Longitud en la primera madurez / Tamaño / Peso / Edad
Madurez: Lm 12.0  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 30.0 cm SL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 6205)
Espinas dorsales (total) : 12; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 18 - 20; Espinas anales: 2; Radios blandos anales: 17 - 19; Vértebra: 34. Swim bladder with three rudimentary anterolateral extensions instead of four; differs from S. maculata in lacking well developed anterolateral extensions reaching to level of vent. Body color is silvery with scattered dark brown elongate blotches on the sides.
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: circular.
Occur in inshore coastal waters, commonly in embayments on silty bottoms (Ref. 9679). Juveniles have been known to burrow in the sand (Ref. 6208). Oviparous (Ref. 205), multiple spawner (Ref. 56320). Small local fisheries exist throughout the range of the species. The flesh is prone to spoil rapidly and the Oriental sillago is not considered as highly as the inshore sillaginids (Ref. 6205). S. aeolus has not been found in association with S. burrus or S. maculata.
