Ecology of Papuengraulis micropinna
 
Main Ref. Wongratana, T., T.A. Munroe and M. Nizinski, 1999
Remarks Presumed to be estuarine, but perhaps ascends rivers or migrates into coastal waters. The minute teeth and rather numerous gillrakers suggest a diet of small planktonic animals. The species is probably uncommon as there seems to be only four preserved specimens.
