Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturité: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 11.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 5217); common length : 9.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 5217)
Épines dorsales (Total) : 0; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 15 - 16; Épines anales: 0; Rayons mous anaux: 10 - 18. Body slightly compressed; snout moderate, about 3/4 eye diameter; maxilla short with bluntly rounded tip, failing to reach pre-operculum by 1/2 pupil diameter; pseudobranch short, about 3/4 eye diameter; panamensis-type gill cover canals. Anal fin origin slightly behind base of last dorsal fin ray. A bright silver stripe along flank, about 3/4 or almost equal to eye, dark bordered above (Ref. 189). Body pale, few melanophores above, row of anal melanophores along anal-fin base. Eye orangish above, top of head with green and gold reflections (Ref. 7251).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: oval.
Occurs in coastal waters, apparently not entering brackish water. Rare in Florida shore seine collections, but 'in great numbers under a night light', perhaps because it may stay some distance from the shore in daytime.
