Remark: Junior synonym <i>Stolephorus baweanensis</i> Hardenberg, 1933 is considered valid in CofF ver. 06 June 2023 following Hata et al., 2019 (Ref. 128121:11).
Comments: Coastal pelagic (Ref. 68964). A schooling species occurring in coastal waters.  More data needed based on correct identifications.  The record from the Godavari estuary implies tolerance of lowered salinities, but the identity of the material is uncertain (perhaps <i>S. waitei</i>).  Appears to be fairly common throughout its range.  Used as bait in the tuna fishery in the South Pacific, although rather fragile.
