Pomadasys is a genus of the Grunzer (Haemulidae)consisting of about 35 species. Pomadasys species occur in tropical and subtropical zones of the Atlantic , Pacific and Indian Oceans , as well as in the Mediterranean .
features
They are 12.5 to 80 cm long and have a high-backed shape with a continuous dorsal fin, which is clearly divided by an indentation into a hard and a soft-rayed section. The mouth is relatively small. The sideline runs parallel to the back profile near the back. On the underside of the tip of the lower jaw there is a small pit typical of the species, and two sensory pores on both sides of the pit.
- Fin formula : dorsal X – XII / 15–17, anal III / 8–10.
Overall, the genus is poorly described and the demarcation to related genera is not clearly defined . Pomadasys differs from Brachydeuterus (18-22) by the number of gill-trap rays on the lower branch of the first gill arch (10 to 16 ).
