The largescale mullet is greenish-grey above and silvery grey beneath. The fins are bluish-grey with darker edges. The top of the back is nearly straight when viewed from the side while the underside is rounded. The first dorsal fin has 4-5 spines with 8 or 9 soft rays and the anal fin has 3 spines with about 9 soft rays.[3]

Distribution

The largescale mullet is found in shallow coastal areas in the Indo-Pacific region including estuaries and water with low salinity.[1]

gollark: "equal to 390GB per day for 5 years"
gollark: Crucial's 1TB BX500, a well-known drive I've not-very-randomly picked, is rated for 360TB total writes.
gollark: So basically rewriting a tenth of the drive's capacity per day. They list this in the specs. As I said, it's generally more, and measured over 3-5 years generally.
gollark: 0.1 DWPD for a 1TB drive would be 100GB/day.
gollark: QLC is the lowest end regarding that, and most consumer stuff is on 3D TLC.
