Description Apogonidae (cardinalfish), a speciose marine family, has
about 23 genera and 347 valid species. Mostly shallow water
inhabitants of pan tropical/subtropical marine environments,
a few are found in brackish and freshwater environments
(Nelson, 2006; Fraser & Allen, 2010; Froese & Pauly, 2010).
Apogonid fish are usually smaller in size (,100 mm, total
length) but a few species of genus, Apogon, Holapogon,
Apogonichthyoides, Cheilodipterus, Glossamia and Pseudamia
grow to larger sizes (Fraser, 1973; Froese & Pauly, 2010).
