snout to pectoral fin insertion 30.5–
32.2% SL; snout to pelvic fin insertion 33.0–35.9% SL). External morphology of L. terengganui is most similar to
that of L. crocea, with a snout length greater than eye diameter, whereas in L. crocea the snout is shorter than eye
diameter. Larimichthys terengganui has fewer gill rakers on the first arch than Larimichthys crocea (22–25 vs. 26–
28), and has fewer scales above lateral line than Larimichthys crocea (7–8 vs. 8–10). Diagnostic characters of the
four species of Larimichthys are presented in Table 2.
