Environment: milieu / climate zone / rango de profundidad / distribution range
Ecología
marino pelagic-neritic; rango de profundidad 0 - 50 m (Ref. 189). Temperate; 34°N - 30°N, 67°W - 62°W (Ref. 189)
Western Central Atlantic: known only from Bermuda. The Panama and Puerto Rico specimens reported in Ref. 6791 were not this species, but perhaps Anchoa lyolepis).
Tamaño / Peso / Age
Madurez: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 7.5 cm SL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 189)
Espinas dorsales (total) : 0; Espinas anales: 0; Radios blandos anales: 19 - 22. Body moderately compressed and slender. Snout short, about 3/4 the eye diameter; maxilla long, its tip sharply pointed, reaching almost to the gill opening; gill cover canals of the walkeri-type. A silver stripe is on the sides.
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: oval.
A schooling species occurring in coastal waters. Apparently common (at least in August, but not in July). Specimens with well developed eggs were taken in June, 1927, suggesting a summer spawning period.
