Species
Taxon distribution as listed in assessment
In the UAE, this species only known from the Sea of Oman. Globally, it is widespread in the Indo-West Pacific (Smith-Vaniz 1986, Randall and Anderson 1993, Randall 1995, Naomi et al. 2011). The depth range is 10 to 25 m (Allen and Erdmann 2012).

Habitat
Habitat details as listed in assessment
This speciesis commonly found over deeper coastal reefs, seagrass beds and coral reefs (Smith-Vaniz 1984, Letourneur et al. 2004, Satapoomin 2011). Due to its rather sluggish nature, this species is rarely found close to the shore (Smith-Vaniz 1984). Itis generally solitary (Kuiter and Tonozuka 2001). The maximum total lengthis 41 cm (Allen and Erdmann 2012).

Assessment rationale/justification
In UAE waters, this inshore, pelagic speciesoccurs only in the Sea of Oman, but very little is known, and has been recorded there very rarely. It is also easily confused with other Carangidae species; therefore, it is listed as Data Deficient in the UAE.

Conservation
Threats listed in assessment
Threats are poorly understood due to the lack of population information. It may occur in fisheries. Corals in the UAE and Arabian Gulf have severely declined due to the increasing frequency of mass bleaching events caused by rising water temperatures, which is a consequence of climate change, as well as pervasive coastal development (Riegl et al. 2018, Burt et al. 2019).
