"Tenualosa toli" or Ilsha Chandana is a shad of the Clupeidae family, available in western Indian Ocean and the Bay of Bengal to the Java Sea and the South China Sea. It may be found in Mauritius [Fricke, R., Fishes of the Mascarene Islands (Réunion, Mauritius, Rodriguez): an annotated checklist (Vol. 31), 1999, p. 759, [http://www.fishbase.us/References/FBRefSummary.php?id=33390 Reference 33390] , FishBase; Retrieved: 2008-01-13] and the Cambodian Mekong near the Viet Nam border. [Rainboth, W.J., Fishes of the Cambodian Mekong, FAO Species Identification Field Guide for Fishery Purposes, 1996, p. 265, [http://www.fishbase.us/References/FBRefSummary.php?id=12693 Reference 12693] , FishBase; Retrieved: 2008-01-13] It inhabits fast-flowing, turbid estuaries and adjacent coastal waters, [Blaber, S.J.M., J.

Lubim, The life history of the tropical shad Tenualosa toli from Sarawak, 1996, p. 225-242, [http://www.fishbase.us/References/FBRefSummary.php?id=26929 Reference 26929] , FishBase; Retrieved: 2008-01-13] ascending rivers to breed. "T. Toli" is distinguished from similar clupeids, except "Hilsa kelee", by a distinct median notch in upper jaw. Biology of this protandrous hermaphrodite [Allsop, D.J. and S.A.
