Elongated Pectoral Fin Ray

The most distinguishing feature is the extremely long, filamentous first ray of the pectoral fin, which can extend past the anal fin origin.

Anal Fin Origin

The anal fin originates significantly anterior to the dorsal fin origin, a key characteristic of the genus Setipinna.

Maxilla Extension

The upper jaw (maxilla) extends noticeably beyond the preopercle, often reaching the gill opening.

Body Shape and Coloration

Slender, compressed, silvery body with a pointed snout.

Fakta utama

Longest Fin Rayamazing

The first ray of the pectoral fin in Setipinna taty is remarkably elongated, often extending more than half the length of the body, a unique adaptation among anchovies.

Estuarine Dwellerbehavior

This species is highly euryhaline, meaning it can tolerate a wide range of salinities, allowing it to thrive in both marine coastal waters and brackish estuaries and river mouths.

Forage Fishinteresting

Setipinna taty forms large schools and is a crucial component of the marine food web, serving as a primary food source for larger predatory fish, seabirds, and marine mammals.

Commercial Fisheryinteresting

Despite its small size, S. taty is an important commercial species, particularly in artisanal fisheries, often caught using gillnets, seines, and trawl nets.

Indian Hairfin Anchovy

Setipinna phasa

S. phasa generally has a shorter pectoral fin filament, typically not reaching beyond the anal fin origin. It also tends to have fewer anal fin rays (38-47 vs. 45-55 in S. taty) and a more restricted distribution, primarily in the Bay of Bengal and estuaries.

Burmese Hairfin Anchovy

Setipinna melanochir

S. melanochir has a blackish pectoral fin (hence 'melanochir' meaning black hand) and a shorter pectoral fin filament compared to S. taty. Its distribution is more restricted to Southeast Asia.

Commerson's Anchovy

Stolephorus commersonii

Stolephorus species lack the greatly elongated pectoral fin ray characteristic of Setipinna. They also typically have a shorter anal fin and a different body profile.
