Nemipteridae (Threadfin breams, Whiptail breams)
Etymology: Nemipterus: Greek, nema, -atos = filament + Greek, pteron = wing, fin (Ref. 45335).
Ambiente: milieu / zona climatica / distribuzione batimetrica / gamma di distribuzione
Ecologia
marino associati a barriera corallina; non migratori; distribuzione batimetrica 27 - 273 m (Ref. 9785). Tropical; 14°S - 22°S, 166°E - 177°W (Ref. 3810)
Western Pacific: Fiji and Vanuatu. This species appears most closely related to Nemipterus aurifilum and Nemipterus bathybius, but differs principally in coloration.
