Épines dorsales (Total) : 7 - 8; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 8 - 10; Épines anales: 3; Rayons mous anaux: 8 - 11. Diagnosis: Ambassis dussumieri has the following combination of characters: supraorbital spines 1-5, usually 3-4; rostral spine present; rear margin of preopercle smooth (at least dorsally); interopercle edge smooth; two rows of cheek scales; predorsal scales 13-16; lateral line discontunuous; lower gill rakers 22-25; pectoral-fin rays 14-16 (Ref. 50956).
