पारिस्थितिकी

Length at first maturity / आकार / वज़न / Age
Maturity: Lm 13.3, range 10 - ? cm
Max length : 29.6 cm TL पुल्लिंग / अलिंग; (Ref. 116943); common length : 15.0 cm SL पुल्लिंग / अलिंग; (Ref. 188); अधिकतम सूचित उम्र: 7 वर्षो (Ref. 1488)
पृष्ठीय रीढ़ (सम्पूर्ण): 0; पृष्ठीय सौफट रेज़ (सम्पूर्ण): 13-21; गुदा कांटा 0; ऐनल सौफट रेज़: 12 - 23. Total number scutes 32 to 34. Vertical striae on scales not meeting at center, numerous small perforations on hind part of scale. A golden mid-lateral line down flank; dorsal and caudal fin margins dusky; a dark spot at dorsal fin origin. Lower gill rakers 45 to 59 (at 6 to 17 cm standard length, not increasing with size of fish after 6 cm standard length).
Forms schools in coastal waters. Adults feed on phytoplankton and zooplankton (crustacean and molluscan larvae) (Ref. 5213, 5284). Juveniles predominantly prefer crustaceans expanding to include phytoplankton in the diet as their length increases (Ref. 34224). Marketed fresh, dried-salted, boiled or made into fish balls. Possible or even probable confusion with other species (especially S. fimbriata in Indian waters) makes published biological data potentially unreliable.
