Guess the brackish water fish

The last part of it's common name is a four letter word.
 
Couple different shots

It is found as far west as Saudi Arabia and as far east and north as Korea,
it is in the same family as jacks and pompano, it is not a jack.
 
The key to this guy is that it is a brackish, commonly eaten fish with black markings on it's dorsals.
 
Okay, you took to long, that is a Blackfin Scad, (Alepes melanoptera),
how about trying this little (7-8") shoaling, shallow water predator that is often found in mangrove swamps.
