Pacific Ocean: ranging eastward to the Gilbert Islands and Samoa, north to southern Japan. Confused with Hemiramphus archipelagicus under the name Hemiramphus marginatus by many authors (Ref. 10943).
Length at first maturity / Tamaño / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm 22.6, range 22 - 23.6 cm
Max length : 40.0 cm SL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 54980); common length : 25.0 cm SL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 9843)
Espinas dorsales (total) : 0; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 12 - 15; Espinas anales: 0; Radios blandos anales: 10 - 13; Vértebra: 52 - 57. Greatly prolonged, beak-like lower jaw; upper jaw short, triangular and without scales; preorbital ridge absent; total number of gill rakers on first gill arch 33-46; pectoral fins long, reaching beyond anterior margin of nasal pit when folded forward; no spots or vertical bars on sides.
Inhabits coastal waters rich in vegetation (Ref. 5213). Found more offshore than other species of Hemiramphus in the western central Pacific; juveniles and immature individuals are relatively common far from shore, usually among floating plants (Ref. 9843). Caught by set-net.
