Description Distribution: Tropical and sub-tropical Indo-West Pacific. Dorsal fin with 10 spines; soft rays 9. Three spines in anal fin; soft rays 7 (Nemipterus virgatus with 8). A filament off upper lobe of caudal fin in some species. Well developed subocular shelf and accessory pelvic keel. Intercalar present. Carnivorous fishes that feed mainly on other small fishes, cephalopods, crustaceans and polychaetes. Protogynous hermaphroditism is reported for some species of Scolopsis. Threadfin breams are an important component of commercial and artisanal fisheries. [details]
