Marasri's Thryssa
Thryssa marasriae
- Group: Other
- Typical depth: 0–50 m
- Max size: 6.9 cm
- For divers: safe
- IUCN status: LC
A slim silvery anchovy barely seven centimetres long, this thryssa lives in coastal pelagic waters and very likely enters estuaries given how close it sits to its brackish water relatives. It is so similar to two sister species that telling them apart takes careful study, and much about its life remains unrecorded.
