Toli shad
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tenualosa toli, also known as Sarawak Terubok, Chinese Herring or Toli Shad is a shad of the Clupeidae family, available in western Indian Ocean and the Bay of Bengal to the Java Sea and the South China Sea. It may be found in Mauritius[1] and the Cambodian Mekong near the Viet Nam border.[2] It inhabits fast-flowing, turbid estuaries and adjacent coastal waters.[3] Known as ikan terubok in Malaysia, T. toli is highly prized among Malaysians for its meat and eggs. Overfishing has depleted the population alarmingly in South East Asia, with only Sarawak's coastal areas left as its last habitat.[4] In Bangladesh, where it is known as Ilisha Chandana, it is commercially less important than T. ilisha.[5] It is known as Daungdana in Myanmar, Trey Palung in Cambodia, Bhing in Maharashtra, Palwa in Gujarat, and Seriya in Sri Lanka.[6] Ascending rivers to breed. T. Toli is distinguished from similar clupeids, except Hilsa kelee (Kelee Shad or Five Spot Herring), by a distinct median notch in upper jaw. Biology of this protandrous hermaphrodite[7] is presumed to be similar to that of T. ilisha, but the fewer gill rakers suggest an intake of larger species of zooplankton as food.[8]
