Etymology: Herklotsichthys: After Janus Adrian Herklots, Australian ichthyologist, 1820-1872.
More on author: Ogilby.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologia
marinhas; Água doce; estuarina; intervalo de profundidade 0 - 50 m (Ref. 188). Tropical; 24°S - 39°S, 149°W - 156°E (Ref. 188)
Southwest Pacific: eastern Australia (Queensland southward to New South Wales). Possibly merely an eastern subspecies, of which Herklotsichthys blackburni is the western counterpart; however, it seems equally close to Herklotsichthys Species C. Reported from lower Fly River, Papua New Guinea (Ref. 13533).
Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 20.0 cm SL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 33617); common length : 14.0 cm SL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 33617)
Espinhos dorsais (total): 0; Raios dorsais moles (total): 16-19; Espinhos anais 0; Raios anais moles: 17 - 21; Vértebras: 41 - 42. Distinguished from most other Australian Herklotsichthys by lacking spots on the flank and lacking elongate wing-like scales underneath pre-dorsal scales. Most closely resembles H. blackburni but has more lower gill rakers. Separated from H. gotoi and Herklotsichthys species C by having 3 distinct dark lines upper flank. Upper caudal tip black; dorsal fin with distinct pale band.
Schooling species found in estuarine and coastal marine waters (Ref. 33617, 75154). Adults undergo spawning migration from coastal waters into upper reaches of estuaries during summer and autumn (Ref. 33617).
