First record of red filament threadfin bream, Nemipterus marginatus (Valenciennes, 1830) (Perciformes, Nemipteridae), from Chinese waters

Distribution of Nemipterus marginatus (Valenciennes, 1830) (Nemipteridae, Perciformes) in the estuary and coastal areas of North Central, Vietnam 

“…The specimens collected from Thanh Hoa province, Vietnam agree well with the description of Nemipterus marginatus by Russell (1990) and Ping et al (2011) (Table 1). Russell (1990Russell ( , 2001 reported maximum size of Nemipterus marginatus as 150 mm SL, commonly 130 mm SL; but specimens we collected ranged in size to 180 mm SL (TL 245 mm, LB.001).…”

“…Pacific, including the South China Sea, Strait of Malacca, southern coasts of Sumatra and Java, northern Australia, the Gulf of Papua, and the Solomon Islands(Russell 1990(Russell , 2001 IUCN 2019) Ping et al (2011). recorded this species on the southern coast of China.…”

“…Nemipteridae or threadfin breams are important fish resources for both artisanal and commercial fisheries (Russell, 1990). They are extensively found in tropical indo-pacific regions (Russell, 1993), and have become important target species in many countries including India (Joshi, 2005), Japan, Taiwan (Russell, 1993), Indonesia, China (Ping, Rensie, & Jing, 2011) and others (ElHaweet, 2013). In Thailand, various species of threadfin fin breams contribute greatly to the trawl fisheries with the possible consequence of a depletion of resources (Stobutzki et al, 2006).…”

Size and Growth Variation at Maturity of Six Nemipterus Species in the South China Sea

“…They formed 11-20% of the total catch of trawl landings in India (Joshi, 2005). Moreover, they were also reported as an economic species from many countries such as Japan and Taiwan (Russell, 1993), Indonesia and China (Ping et al, 2011); for example, In India, at Kerala, it formed a major catch and major share of marine catch (Monojkumar, 2008). In Southeast Asian region, three genera of this family have been reported, namely Nemipterus, Scolopsis and Parascolopsis with the total species for each genera were 20, 11 and 2 species, respectively (Somsak, 1986).…”
