Senegalese Ladyfish
Elops senegalensis
The Senegalese ladyfish, Elops senegalensis, is a species of fish in the Elopidae family, and is native to the coastal waters of the eastern Atlantic Ocean from Mauritania to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is often confused with the West African ladyfish, Elops lacerta, and can be distinguished only by the number of gill rakers on the lower part of the first gill arc, and the number of scales on the lateral line.
