Abstract:
Tenualosa toli also known as terubok, is a commercial and important fish species in
Sarawak specifically and Asia generally due to its consumption and market demand.
However, the fishmongers face trouble in differentiating this species with an almost
similar species, Tenualosa macrura. Both species are sold at various price levels
according to size. This research gathers specific details to aid in the visual differences
in enhancing the identification. There are three main components that were focused
throughout this study which were systematic accounts, length-weight relationship and
reproductive biology.
