توضیحات

Tenualosa toli, commonly known as the Toli Shad, is a commercially important species of ray-finned fish in the family Clupeidae. It is an anadromous species, spending most of its life in marine environments and migrating to freshwater rivers for spawning. Known for its rich flavor and high oil content, it is a prized food fish in many parts of its range. The species exhibits a compressed body, silvery coloration, and a distinct series of scutes along its ventral profile.

Pelvic fins are small, abdominal, and located beneath the dorsal fin origin. Anal fin is relatively long with 17-20 soft rays.

نکات شناسایی

Ventral Scutes

Count the number of keeled scutes along the belly. Tenualosa toli typically has 28-30 scutes, which is a reliable distinguishing feature.

Absence of Shoulder Spot

Unlike some other Tenualosa species (e.g., Tenualosa ilisha), T. toli lacks a distinct dark spot behind the gill opening or a series of spots along the flank.

Body Depth

The body depth is generally 2.8-3.5 times in standard length, making it relatively deep-bodied compared to some other clupeids.

Head Length

Head length is typically 3.5-4.0 times in standard length.

زیستگاه

نوع آب
brackish
عمق
Primarily pelagic in coastal marine waters, estuaries, and lower reaches of large rivers during migration. Typically found from surface to depths of about 50 meters.
محیط
Coastal marine waters, estuaries, and large freshwater rivers. Prefers turbid waters with moderate to strong currents during spawning migrations.
پراکندگی جغرافیایی
Indo-West Pacific region, ranging from the Persian Gulf (Kuwait, Iran) eastward through the coasts of India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia (Sumatra, Borneo, Java), and potentially extending to the Philippines and southern China.

اطلاعات کلیدی

Anadromous Migratorbehavior

The Toli Shad is an anadromous fish, meaning it lives in saltwater and migrates to freshwater rivers to spawn, a critical part of its life cycle.

Culinary Delicacyinteresting

Highly prized for its rich, oily flesh and distinctive flavor, especially during its spawning season when its fat content is highest.

Conservation Concerninteresting

Overfishing, habitat degradation, and damming of rivers have led to significant declines in Toli Shad populations, resulting in its 'Vulnerable' conservation status.

Filter Feederbehavior

Despite its commercial importance, the Toli Shad is a filter feeder, primarily consuming phytoplankton and zooplankton.

اطلاعات ایمنی

  • سطح ایمنی: safe
  • سمی: خیر

  • نکات دست‌گرفتن: No specific handling precautions are required beyond standard fish handling practices. The scales can be somewhat sharp, so care should be taken to avoid minor cuts. The fish is not venomous or toxic.

گونه‌های مشابه

Hilsa Shad

Tenualosa ilisha

T. ilisha typically has a distinct dark spot behind the gill opening (sometimes followed by a series of smaller spots), and generally has fewer ventral scutes (29-33, but often overlapping with T. toli). The body depth of T. ilisha is usually greater (2.4-3.0 times in standard length) than T. toli.

Fivespot Sardinella

Sardinella fimbriata

Sardinella species are generally smaller, lack the prominent ventral scutes of Tenualosa, and have a more slender body profile. They also typically have a more pronounced opercular spot.

Chinese Hilsa

Tenualosa reevesii

T. reevesii is generally larger, has a more elongated body, and typically possesses a higher number of ventral scutes (30-36). Its geographic range is also more restricted to the Western Pacific.
