| Citation | Description | Indo-West Pacific: South Africa (with no records from Mauritius and R?union) to India extending to Japan and northern Australia. Enters fresh waters of Zimbabwe and South Africa (Lower Zambezi, Lucuara River).
Geographic Range [top]
Range Description: Acanthopagrus berda is restricted to the Indian Ocean, and has been collected from: South Africa, Mozambique, the Red Sea, India, Phuket, and Malaysia (Penang Island and Langkawi Island, near Singapore) (Iwatsuki and Heemstra 2010). This species enters freshwaters of Zimbabwe and South Africa (Lower Zambezi, Lucuara River) (Carpenter 2001). This species is not likely to actually occur in the Gulf, and previous reports are probably the result of misidentifications of A. randalli (Y. Iwatsuki pers. comm. 2013). This species occurs to 50 m depth.

Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: Acanthopagrus berda is an estuarine dependent species (Garratt 1993) found mainly on sandy and muddy grounds in shallow coastal waters to depths of 50 m (Fischer and Bianchi 1984). Juveniles inhabit protected bays and estuaries (Carpenter 2001). It feeds on invertebrates, including worms, molluscs, crustaceans and echinoderms, and small fish (Fischer et al. 1990). The maximum recorded length for this species is 90 cm (Smith and Smith 1986). This species is a protandrous hermaphrodite (Allsop and West 2003).
Systems: Marine
Use and Trade [top]
Use and Trade: A popular angling species often caught with hook and line. It is not intensively fished, but locally exploited by artisanal fisheries along the Indian coasts (Fischer and Bianchi 1984).
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): There are no major threats known for this species. There may be some localized threats by overfishing and habitat degradation (especially of estuaries and river mouths).
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: In South Africa this species is subject to catch restrictions (five fish per person per day) and a minimum size limit of 25 cm (TL). There are no other known species-specific conservation measures in place for this species. It occurs in some marine protected areas within its range (World Database of Protected Areas, accessed 11 March 2014).
