Madurez: Lm 14.8 range ? - ? cm
Max length : 27.5 cm SL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 74552); common length : 20.0 cm SL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 188); edad máxima reportada: 15 años (Ref. 35388)
Espinas dorsales (total) : 0; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 13 - 21; Espinas anales: 0; Radios blandos anales: 12 - 23. Body sub-cylindrical, belly rather rounded (but more compressed in juveniles). Hind margin of gill opening smoothly rounded (without fleshy outgrowths) ; 3 to 5 distinct body striae radiating downward on lower part of operculum; lower gill rakers not becoming shorter at angle of first gill arch, the upper series not overlapping the lower. Last 2 anal fin rays enlarged.
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: compressed.
A coastal, pelagic species (Ref. 188). Form schools, usually at depths of 25 to 55 or even 100 m by day, rising to 10 to 35 m at night. Feed mainly on planktonic crustaceans, also on larger organisms. Spawn in batches (Ref. 51846), in the open sea or near the coast, producing 50,000-60,000 eggs with a mean diameter of 1.5 mm (Ref. 35388). Marketed fresh, frozen or canned. Also utilized dried or salted and smoked; can be pan-fried, broiled and microwaved (Ref. 9988).
Breeds at 20 to 25 m, near the shore or as much as 100 km out to sea.
