Teleostei (teleosts) > Clupeiformes (Herrings) > Engraulidae (Anchovies) > Coiliinae
Etymology: Setipinna: Latin, septem = seven + Latin, pinna, -ae = fin.

Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecology

Marine; brackish; pelagic-neritic. Tropical; 9°N - 5°S, 99°E - 117°E (Ref. 189)

Distribution Countries | FAO areas | Ecosystems | Occurrences | Point map | Introductions | Faunafri

Western Central Pacific: river mouths of Sumatra, Kalimantan and Sarawak, presumably also Java. Reported from India, Bangladesh and Myanmar (Ref. 45255).

Size / Weight / Age

Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 24.0 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 189)

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 0; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 59 - 64. Body compressed, head very short, belly with 17 to 23 plus 9 to 11 = 27 to 32 scutes from isthmus to anus. Mouth strongly oblique, lower jaw projecting beyond the tip of the snout. Its very low gill raker count and the characteristic shape of its head and jaws distinguishes it from all other species of Setipinna.

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

A marine or estuarine species, but perhaps also ascending into freshwater. More data needed. Apparently a highly esteemed foodfish at the Rokan River mouth, Sumatra and presumably so in similar localities elsewhere in Indonesia, Malaysia and Sarawak.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 28.2 - 29.3, mean 28.9 °C (based on 280 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5039   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00173 - 0.00873), b=3.10 (2.92 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.6   ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (19 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Medium.
