| Abstract: | We collected five specimens of threadfin bream from Beihai, Guangxi, China in March 2010. These were subsequently identified
as red filament threadfin bream Nemipterus marginatus (Valenciennes, 1830), being the first record of this species from Chinese waters. N. marginatus is distinguished by the following characteristics: lower border of eye lies above a line from tip of snout to upper base
of pectoral fin; mouth oblique, maxillary extending to lower anterior border of pupil; teeth in jaws in several rows, pointed;
upper jaw with 3 to 5 pairs of small recurved canines; suborbital with straight lower edge and rounded posterior edge; pectoral
fins extending to between level of anus and origin of anal fin; pelvic fins reaching to the first or second anal rays; caudal
fin forked, upper lobe tails into a short reddish filament; dorsal fin bluish with a yellow margin distally and a broad yellow
median band which subdivides posteriorly into 3 small bands. |
