Pomfrets (Genus Pampus) are commercially important fish in the Indo-Pacific region. The systematics of this genus is complicated because of morphological similarities between species. The silver pomfret from Indian waters has long been considered to be Pampus argenteus. Morphological and molecular examination of specimens from the Arabian Sea and B...

... The genus Pampus Bonaparte, 1834, of the family Stromateidae Rafinesque, 1810, is distinct in having a compressed, silvery body, elongated pelvic bone, absence of pelvic fins, and more than five blade-like spines before their falcate dorsal and anal fins [but spine is absent in Pampus chinensis (Euphrasen, 1788), Liu et al., 2002;Liu et al., 2013a].

There have been concerted efforts to study their reproductive biology, evolution, and population genetics of the Pampus species (e.g., Dadzie et al., 2000;Gupta, 2020;Fan et al., 2022). ...
