Indian whiting
The Indian whiting, ''Sillago indica'', is a poorly known species of coastal marine fish of the smelt-whiting family Sillaginidae. The species was named in 1985, having previously being misidentified as another species of Sillago, ''S. parvisquamis''. The Indian whiting inhabits the east and west coasts of the Indian subcontinent, apparently not extending to the southern tip of India. Like all sillaginids, it is benthic in nature, living in depths to 30 m where it is caught by fishermen alongside other species of ''Sillago''.
==Taxonomy and naming==
The Indian whiting is one of 29 species in the genus ''Sillago'', which is one of three divisions of the smelt whiting family Sillaginidae. The smelt-whitings are Perciformes in the suborder Percoidea.〔 〕
The species was first named by McKay in his comprehensive review of the Sillaginidae, with coauthors Dutt and Sujatha contributing the section on ''S. indica''. The species was previously misidentified as ''Sillago parvisquamis'' by the latter two authors in earlier publications, with McKay pointing out the only noticeable difference between the two is the swim bladder morphology, as well as an indistinct black band in the side of the fish.〔 〕 For this reason, the fish goes unidentified in most catches, usually referred to as a number of other sillaginids. The species binomial and common name reflects the species geographical distribution, confined to India only.〔 〕
