Kyphosus gladius, the Gladius sea chub, is a species of sea chub native to the Indian Ocean waters off of Western Australia where it occurs at depths from the surface to 15 metres (49 ft). This species can reach a length of 45.7 centimetres (18.0 in) SL, though it is believed that they can exceed this measurement considerably.[1]
