Elops senegalensis
is often confused with
Elops lacerta
, from which it is distinguished by a smaller number of gill-rakers on the lower limb of the first gill arch, being 11-15 vs. 17-19; and a greater number of small scales in the lateral line, 92-100 vs. 72-83 in
E. lacerta
(Ref.
2844
,
81265
).
Coastal pelagic species, occurring inshore and some way up the tidal rivers to the edge of the shelf (Ref.
