Genus Gerres refers to a group of marine fish species that belong to the family Gerreidae. These fish are commonly known as silver-biddies, mojarras, and silver silversides. Silver-biddies grow up to 30cm in length, and their bodies are elongated and slender. They are silver in color, with a streamlined appearance, adapted for moving through waterways quickly. These fish are widespread and commonly found in shallow waters along the coasts of Africa, Asia, Australia, and the Americas.
