GONORHYNCHIFORMES

Philipin 1952
Milkfish
Chanos chanos
(Chanidae)


Gonorhynchiformes has a small mouth, and a chin does not have a tooth. Three vertebras of front transform it, and this is regarded as structure of an outrider of a Weber organ.
Because it seems to be milk, and a color of meat is white, Chanos chanos is called Milkfish in English. There is a mouth on the tip of a body and cannot take out an upper jaw forward. It has a "tire tube", and the length becomes to 1.8m, but it is around 1m generally. Growth is an important cultured fish early in Southeast Asia.
