Ecologie
marien; brak water rifbewoner; diepte 0 - ? m. Tropical
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).
Lengte bij maturiteit / Grootte / Gewicht / Leeftijd
Maturiteit: Lm 22.6, range 22 - 23.6 cm
Max length : 40.0 cm SL mannelijk / geslacht onbekend; (Ref. 54980); common length : 25.0 cm SL mannelijk / geslacht onbekend; (Ref. 9843)
Dorsale stekels (totaal) : 0; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 12 - 15; Anale stekels: 0; Anale zachte stralen: 10 - 13; Wervels: 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.
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
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.
