The wild yellow croaker has a slender and elongated body, with a long oval shape. The lower lip is longer than the upper lip, and the mouth is relatively round when closed. The scales are relatively small, with 8-9 rows of scales between the starting point of the dorsal fin and the lateral line. The caudal peduncle is slender, and its length is more than three times higher than its height. The tail stalk length of the small yellow croaker is only twice its height, so don't underestimate this "double" difference. It is precisely because of this difference that the tail of the big yellow croaker appears thinner and longer, which can distinguish it from the small yellow croaker.
