> Atheriniformes (Silversides) > Atherinidae (Silversides) > Craterocephalinae
Etymology: Sashatherina: Named after the first author's son Sasha, who has assisted his father frequently on collecting trips without any official acknowledgement so far of his being so helpful; gigantea: Named 'giganteus' to refer to the unusual size of this species as most Old World Atherinidae rarely exceed 10 cm SL.
Eponymy: Sasha Ivantsoff is the senior author’s son, “…who has assisted his father frequently on collecting trips”. His name is coupled with Atherina, a related genus within the silverside family (Atherinidae). (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

The species in this genus possess very numerous small scales with a maximum midlateral scale count of 60 and up to 17 rows of transverse scales; all scales crenulated; lower jaw very pronounced, protruding beyond the anterior border of the premaxilla; eye quite small (Ref. 86256).

Anectodal reports for maximum length reach 35 cm TL (Ref. 86256).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.0 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
