Info
Ostorhinchus fleurieu Lacepède, 1802
A coppery-coloured fish with a broad blackish bar at the base of the tail, it is up to 12.5 cm in length. In juveniles, the base of the tail has a spot rather than a bar. The upper jaw has a narrow blue streak, and a broad, blackish stripe extends from the front of the snout to the eye. It is easily confused with Ostorhinchus aureus, where the black tail bar is narrower in the centre than at the ends.
