Etymology: Sardinella: Latin and Greek, sarda = sardine; name related to the island of Sardinia; diminutive (Ref. 45335).
More on author: Cuvier.
Ambiente: milieu / zona climática / intervalo de profundidade / gama de distribuição
Ecologia
marinhas pelagic-neritic; anfídromo (Ref. 51243); intervalo de profundidade 0 - 50 m (Ref. 188). Tropical; 37°N - 27°S, 33°E - 149°W
Indo-West Pacific: Gulf of Aden south to Inhaca Island, Mozambique and Madagascar and east to the Arabian Sea and northwestern India (apparently not found south of Bombay nor in northern Bay of Bengal), north to Ibaraki Prefecture Japan; then from Indonesia (but not in South China Sea) to Tahiti.
Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturidade: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 20.3 cm SL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 3605); common length : 10.0 cm SL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 188)
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 0; Raios dorsais moles (total) : 13 - 21; Espinhos anais: 0; Raios anais moles: 12 - 23. Body depth usually not much more than 30% of standard length; scutes 27 to 31. The jet black caudal tips distinguish S. melanura from all other species of Sardinella except S. atricauda (scutes 32 to 35), S. hualiensis (dark spot at dorsal fin origin, scales fimbriated and with small perforations) and S. fijiense (gill rakers 87 to 134).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: compressed.
Form schools in coastal waters (Ref. 188, 75154). Regarded a robust and very good bait in the tuna fishery.
