threadfin
Threadfin is a common name for several species of fish characterized by their long, thread-like fin rays or filaments. They are found in warm seas, particularly the Indo-Pacific region and are often brightly colored. Threadfins are generally small fish, most species aimed at a length of 8 cm (3.1 inches), although the largest of them, the king threadfin (Polydactylus macrochir), may reach 1.7 m (5.6 feet). The name is also used for other unrelated species of fishes.

Threadfin
Threadfins are silvery grey perciform marine fish of the family Polynemidae. Found in tropical to subtropical waters throughout the world, the threadfin family contains nine genera and 33 species. An unrelated species sometimes known by the name threadfin, Alectis indicus, is properly the Indian threadfish. Ranging in length from 20 centimeters in the black-finned threadfin to 200 centimeters in fourfinger threadfins and giant African threadfins, threadfins are both important to commercial fisheries as a food fish, and popular among anglers. Their habit of forming large schools makes the threadfins a reliable and economic catch.
