Balang fish and saury are not the same fish. Balang fish, scientifically known as blue round scad, also known as thorny scad, stick fish, pond fish, yellow scad, pond fish, cooked fish, is a species of the genus Scad of the family Cyprinidae in the order Perciformes; saury is the only species of the genus Saury in the family Sauryidae in the order Gnaphalidae, and is one of the important edible fish.

The body of the barramundi is fusiform and slightly flattened. The fat eyelids are well developed, reaching the middle of the eye both front and back, with only a long slit in the center of the pupil. The rear end of the upper jaw is relatively blunt and round. The body is covered with small round scales and has a lateral line. All or most of the straight part of the lateral line has ridged scales. The ratio of the length of the pectoral fin to the length of the head varies with the size of the fish. There is a white spot on the top of the front of the dorsal fin.

The body of the saury is elongated and slender, flat on the sides, with a long head, a flat back and a faint ridge in the center. The mouth is anterior, straight in the front and slightly oblique in the back. The two jaws extend forward in a short beak-like shape, with the lower jaw protruding more than the upper jaw. The teeth are small, with one row in each jaw, more concentrated in the front and fewer or none in the back. The gill rakers are slender and there are no false gills.

The fat eyelids are well developed, reaching the middle of the eye both in front and back, with only a long slit in the center of the pupil. The rear end of the upper jaw of the barramundi is blunt and round. The body is covered with small round scales.

Balang fish:

The barramundi is a warm-water pelagic fish with migratory habits and likes to live in groups. It feeds on copepods, ostracods, firefly shrimps, krill, seven-star fish, etc. The results of cluster analysis show that the fork length of the barramundi is 200mm, which is the turning point of its feeding orientation. The barramundi with a fork length less than this mainly feeds on planktonic crustaceans, and the barramundi with a fork length greater than this mainly feeds on small fish. As the fork length increases, the barramundi feeds more on swimming animals. According to the changes in the groups of baits taken by the barramundi, the trophic level of the East China Sea barramundi is 3.55, which is a carnivorous fish with a mixed diet of zooplankton and swimming animals. The life cycle of the barramundi is short, with a maximum of 6 years old. It grows fast and can spawn at the age of 1. It spawns in groups from December to April of the following year. In summer, dense areas of juvenile fish appear widely along the coast. After spawning, the groups and juvenile fish disperse to deeper offshore, and some can go to the open sea. It is one of the economic fish in the South China Sea.
