Maturité: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 30.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 37032); common length : 17.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 5217)
Épines dorsales (Total) : 0; Épines anales: 0; Rayons mous anaux: 25 - 32. Snout short and pointed, tip at about eye center; maxilla moderate, tip pointed and reaching onto pre-operculum (but not beyond), extending beyond second supra-maxilla; sub-operculum with angular hind margin, but not formed into a triangular projection; lower gill rakers increasing in large fishes. Anal fin origin below front few dorsal fin rays. Silver stripe disappearing with age (Ref. 189).

Found inshore forming quite large schools and also in estuaries, mangroves and other lagoons, penetrating into almost freshwater (salinities of 4.9-32.25 ppt in Santa Cruz Canal, Pernambuco, Brazil). Feeds by filtering plankton. No data on spawning.
