maximum body depth, Base ID, Base 2D, and 

 Base A. Significant differences were found be- 

 tween the Indian Ocean population and that in 

 the East Indies and Gulf of Thailand population 

 in one (interorbital); and between the Gulf of 

 Thailand and China populations in two (Sn-ID 

 and maxilla L). 



One meristic difference was found between 

 populations of S. guttatus. The Indian Ocean 

 population has a mode of 50 vertebrae while 

 populations in the East Indies, Gulf of Thailand, 

 and China have modes of 51. Gill rakers were 

 usually 11 and second dorsal rays 21 in all four 

 populations.
