The razorbelly scad is a predatory fish, whose feeding activity changes, at least in some regions, over the course of a year.

The growth of razorbelly scad was also studied off the Indian coast near Mangalore.

Razorbelly scad is marketed fresh and dried salted.

Razorbelly scad are predatory fish, taking a variety of crustaceans and shrimps, and show a change in feeding intensity over the year.

The razorbelly scad is similar in body shape and profile to the rest of Alepes, possessing a strongly compressed ovate body.

Alepes kleinii (Razorbelly scad)

The razorbelly scad is classified in the scad genus Alepes, which is part of the jack family, Carangidae.

Whilst alive, the razorbelly scad is a bluish grey to greenish grey on the upper body, becoming lighter and more silvery ventrally.

The razorbelly scad was described and named three times after Cuvier's efforts by Bleeker, De Vis and Wakiya.

Although commonly called razorbelly scad, and recognised as such by fishbase, the species also is known as banded scad, goggle-eye scad and golden scad.

The razorbelly scad is broadly distributed over the tropical Eastern Indo-West Pacific region, not as widely distributed as most of the genus Alepes.

The razorbelly scad, Alepes kleinii (also known as the banded scad, golden scad and goggle-eye scad) is a small species of tropical marine fish in the jack family, Carangidae.

The razorbelly scad has a complex taxonomic history, and even recently has had its position in the genus Alepes challenged, but appears to be stable after a molecular phylogeny study supported its placement in Alepes.

Reproduction and spawning in the species has been studied only in Indian waters, where razorbelly scad spawn in a single event from January to September, with peaks in February and in June to August.

Like a number of other members of Alepes, the razorbelly scad suffers from a complicated taxonomic history, in which the species has been described and named no less than seven times, and has had three of those names reassigned to different genera.

The smallmouth scad, Alepes apercna (also known as the banded scad and roundfin trevally), is a species of tropical marine fish in the jack family Carangidae.

Although commonly called razorbelly scad, and recognised as such by fishbase, the species also is known as banded scad, goggle-eye scad and golden scad.

The common name of the species is related to the small mouth size of the species, with the names banded scad and roundfin trevally used incorrectly, and this is partially due to confusion with A. kleinii, the true banded scad.

Although commonly called razorbelly scad, and recognised as such by fishbase, the species also is known as banded scad, goggle-eye scad and golden scad.
