Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie
Rayons mous anaux: 9. Meda fulgida can be distinguished by the following characters: anal fin with 9 rays; pharyngeal teeth 1,4-4,1; scales absent; slender body, somewhat compressed at front, strongly compressed at caudal peduncle; slightly subterminal mouth on fairly pointed snout; large eye; pelvic-fin origin before before dorsal-fin origin; olive-gray to light brown above; brilliant silver side, often with blue sheen; back and upper side with black specks and blotches; and bright brassy yellow head and fin bases, yellow belly and fins in breeding males (Ref. 86798).
