Classification / Names Common names | Synonyms | Catalog of Fishes( genus , species ) | ITIS | CoL | WoRMS | Cloffa Teleostei (teleosts) > Beloniformes (Needle fishes) > Hemiramphidae (Halfbeaks) Etymology: Hyporhamphus: Greek, hypo = under + Greek, rhamphos = beak, bill (Ref. 45335 ) . More on author: Günther . Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecology Marine; reef-associated; depth range 0 - 6 m (Ref. 86942 ). Tropical Distribution Countries | FAO areas | Ecosystems | Occurrences | Point map | Introductions | Faunafri Indo-Pacific: Red Sea and East Africa through the Indian Ocean islands to western Australia, New Guinea, Philippines, and islands of Oceania. Not found in Hawaiian islands, and apparently absent from Indo-Malayan Archipelago. Has been mentioned in the literature under other names, particularly Hyporhamphus erythrorinchus and Hyporhamphus dussumieri (Ref. 10943 ). Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age Maturity: L m   ? , range 13 - ? cm Max length : 38.0 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 54980 ) Short description Morphology | Morphometrics Dorsal spines (total): 0; Dorsal soft rays (total): 14-17; Anal spines : 0; Anal soft rays : 15 - 19; Vertebrae : 54 - 59. Body deep blue above, silvery stripe on side, silvery white below; caudal fin bluish, other fins unpigmented; tip and distal half of underside of lower jaw bright carmine red (Ref. 4164 ). Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic) Found chiefly around coral reefs (Ref. 58534 ) and islands but extends a little further from shore than Hyporhamphus (R.) dussumieri which has a similar range (Ref. 10943 ). Found in schools (Ref. 9710 ). Feeds on zooplankton (Ref. 43448 ) also small fishes and detritius organic matter (Ref. 89972 ). Eggs covered with adhesive filaments to assist in attaching to floating and benthic objects (Ref. 43448 ).
