In the adult stage, it is primarily a nearshore pelagic species rather than a coral reef species. As juvenile, it schools together with other caesionids on coral reefs.

Biology
provided by Fishbase
Primarily a near-shore pelagic species (Ref. 30573), but swims mainly in open water away from reefs (Ref. 48636). Forms dense aggregations (Ref. 90102). Mixed with other planktivores and is easily overlooked. Feeds on zooplankton (Ref. 30573). Oviparous, with numerous, small pelagic eggs (Ref. 402). Caught at night using lights and dip nets (Ref. 30573). Important tuna bait fish in some countries (Ref. 30573).

分布
provided by The Fish Database of Taiwan
分布於印度-太平洋之熱帶海域,西起非洲東岸,北至台灣海峽,南迄所羅門群島。台灣產於澎湖南方附近海域,是罕見之種。
利用
provided by The Fish Database of Taiwan
主要是在夜晚利用集魚燈誘捕的方式捕捉。屬小型魚類,較無經濟價值,但在有些國家以本種魚當誘餌來捕捉鮪類的魚種。
描述

體延長而稍側扁,略呈亞圓筒形。吻稍長,等於或稍大於眼徑。眼大;具有窄的脂性眼瞼。口小而斜裂,可向前伸出。上下頜及鋤骨具齒,腭骨無齒。鯰蓋骨後上緣具一強棘。體被細小櫛鱗;側線完全而平直。背鰭單一,硬棘部與軟條部間具一深刻;臀鰭與背鰭軟條部同形,起始於背鰭11-12硬棘之下方;胸鰭略長而尖;尾鰭分叉。體背灰褐色,體腹淡色。側線上方具一條暗色縱帶,此縱帶之上下方共另具一條較淡之縱帶。背鰭灰褐色;尾鰭淺灰色至淡黃色;餘鰭淡色。本種魚分類上仍有歧見,現依據
Nelson(1994)將其置於笛鯛(Lutjanidae)科中的烏尾鮗亞科(Caesioninae)。
棲地
provided by The Fish Database of Taiwan
成魚主要棲息於近海開放水域,鮮少活動於沿岸礁石區,但幼魚則與同烏尾鮗亞科(Caesioninae)的其它幼魚成群混居於沿岸礁石區。群游性,以浮游動物為食。
Mottled fusilier
provided by wikipedia EN
The mottled fusilier (Dipterygonotus balteatus) is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a fusilier belonging to the family Caesionidae. It has a broad Indo-Pacific distribution. It is the only species in the monotypic genus Dipterygonotus.
Taxonomy
The mottled fusilier was first formally described in 1830 as Smaris balteatus by the French zoologist Achille Valenciennes with the type locality being given as Sri Lanka.[3] In 1849, the Dutch ichthyologist Pieter Bleeker described a new species, Dipterygonotus leucogrammicus. placing it in a new monotypic genus. Bleeker's species was later shown to be a synonym of Smaris balteatus but the genus is considered to be valid.[4] The genus name is a compound of di meaning "two" and pterygion which merans fin and notus meaning "back", at the time Valenceinnes thought that this species was porgy belonging to the family Sparidae but one which had the spiny dorsal fin obviously different, and occasionally apart, from the soft rayed part. The specific name balteatus means "belted" or "banded", a reference to the stripe on the upper flanks.[5]
Description
The mottled fusilier has a slender, fusiform body which is elongate and shows moderate lateral compression. There are small conical teeth on maxillae and the vomer but there are none on the premaxilla and palatines. The dorsal fin has 14 spines and 8 to 11 soft rays while the anal fin contains 3 spines and normally 9 or 10 soft rays. There are 16-19 pectoral fin rays.[4] This species grows to a maximum total length of 14 cm (5.5 in).[2] The overall colour is silvery darkening to brownish or bronze on the back. There is a silvery stripe along the flank from the upper operculum to the caudal peduncle, and there are 3-4 light sinuous thin stripes on the back.[6]
Distribution and habitat
The mottled fusilier has a wide Indo-Pacific range. It occurs along the eastern coast of Africa from the Gulf of Aden to South Africa, east across the Indian Ocean to the Solomon Islands, south as far as Australia and northwards to southern Japan. In addition, the mottled fusilier has also been recorded from New Caledonia.[1] In Australian waters it is distributed from north of Port Hedland in Western Australia extending north around the tropical coast to the east coast where it reaches as far south as Hat Head in New South Wales and off the reefs of the Coral Sea.[6] Several individuals were reported in 2017 in the eastern Mediterranean Sea off Lebanon, likely introduced via the Suez Canal.[7]
It is found at depths between 37 and 91 m (121 and 299 ft).[1] The adults are mainly pelagic over the continental shelf comparatively distant from reefs. They may form mixed species schools with other inshore small pelagic species. The juveniles are frequently found around reefs.[6]
Biology
The mottled fusilier forms mixed species schools with other pelagic fish such as sardines and anchovies.[6] It feeds on zooplankton. It is an oviparous species which lays large numbers of small, pelagic eggs.[2]
Fisheries
The mottled fusilier is subject to heavy fishing pressure in southeast Asia and may make up a significant proportion of landings of small pelagic fishes. It is sometimes caught to be used as bait in fisheries for larger especially such ad tuna. They are taken at night, lights being used to attract them and dip nets the used to capture the fish. It can be sold fresh alongside sardines and anchovies in the Philippines.[2]
