分布於印度-太平洋區，西起非洲東部，東至馬貴斯及杜夕群島，北至日本、臺灣，南至澳洲、羅得豪島及拉帕等。臺灣各地海域均產。
利用
provided by The Fish Database of Taiwan
漁期全年皆有，可利用底刺網、底拖網或手釣等漁法捕獲。肉味鮮美細嫩，可惜肉質不多，適可沾粉油炸或切薑片燉煮，味道都不錯。

體圓而瘦長，呈長圓柱形，尾柄兩側具稜脊。頭較短。吻尖，吻長明顯大於眼徑。眼中等大；脂性眼瞼發達。口裂大，上頜骨末端遠延伸至眼後方；頜骨具銳利之小齒；外側腭骨齒一致為2列，內側3或4列以上。體被圓鱗，頭後背部、鰓蓋和頰部皆被鱗；側線鱗數45-49；背鰭前鱗12-14。單一背鰭，具軟條10-11；有脂鰭；臀鰭與脂鰭相對；胸鰭長，末端延伸至腹鰭基底末端後上方，軟條數一般為13；尾鰭叉形。體背呈灰褐色，腹部為淡色，成魚體側有時會出現9-10個黃褐色之雲狀橫帶斑紋；沿背部亦具4大塊暗色斑。各鰭灰黃色，皆散有斜線排列之斑紋。
棲地
provided by The Fish Database of Taiwan
主要棲息於砂泥底質的海域，或珊瑚礁區外緣的砂地上。屬肉食性，通常在砂地上停滯不動，身上的花紋是很好的偽裝，有時會將整個身體埋入砂中而只露出眼睛，等候獵物游經時，躍起吞食。

The gracile lizardfish (Saurida gracilis) is a species of lizardfish which lives mainly in the Indo-Pacific region.
Information
The gracile lizardfish is known to be found in a marine environment within a reef-associated area. They live in a benthic depth range of 1–12 m (3.3–39.4 ft). This species is native to a tropical climate. The maximum length of the gracile lizardfish as an unsexed male has reached about 32 cm (12.6 in). It is common for this species to occupy the areas of Indo-Pacific, Red Sea, East Africa, Hawaiian, Marquesan and Ducie islands, north to the Ryukyu and Ogasawara islands, south to the Great Barrier Reef, Lord Howe Island, and Rapa.[2] The gracile lizardfish inhabits sand, silty reefs, shallow lagoons, reef flats, and sheltered seaward reefs.[3] The diet of the gracile lizardfish includes other fish. The species is recorded to be active at night. It is also common to find this species of fish solitary and not in groups.[2] This species is also commonly known as slender lizardfish.[4] This species does not cause any harm or threat to humans.[5]
