Comments:
Occurrence based on a specimen caught when there was a tsunami alert in the region. About 20 individuals were caught by fishermen using a gillnet (#7 mesh size) in northern Luzon last October 2007 and some were seen stranded since December 2006 along the shoreline near Port San Vicente, Sta. Cagayan (Region II). A 90 cm specimen (already cut in two) was brought to DA-RFTC (c/o Dr. Milagros Morales) and was preserved/kept by Prof. Wilma S. Urmeneta at Cagayan State University (Aparri).
