Max length : 26.0 cm SL mannelijk / geslacht onbekend; (Ref. 10988); common length : 22.0 cm TL mannelijk / geslacht onbekend; (Ref. 9258)
Dorsale stekels (totaal): 0; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal): 15-18; Anale stekels 0; Anale zachte stralen: 17 - 20; Wervels: 55 - 58. Gill rakers usually 32 or less on the first arch and 25 or less on the second arch. Relatively longer upper jaw (usually longer than wide) and lower jaw (usually longer than head length), especially at larger sizes.
Occurs in inshore waters. Forms schools for spawning during mid summer (Ref. 9258). Feeds mainly on larger zooplankton like mysids, crab larvae and polychaete larvae (Ref. 26966).

Estimates based on models
Fylogenetische diversiteitsindex (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00102 (0.00046 - 0.00225), b=3.06 (2.88 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trofisch niveau (Ref.
69278): 3.2 ±0.3 se; based on diet studies.
Weerstandsvermogen (Ref.
120179): Hoog, minimale populatieverdubbelingstijd minder dan 15 maanden (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (22 of 100).
Climate Vulnerability (Ref.
125649): High to very high vulnerability (73 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 240 [58, 580] mg/100g; Iron = 0.655 [0.226, 1.848] mg/100g; Protein = 17.8 [15.0, 20.0] %; Omega3 = 0.518 [0.215, 1.478] g/100g; Selenium = 6.33 [2.15, 16.41] μg/100g; VitaminA = 59.3 [11.7, 294.2] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.776 [0.306, 2.099] mg/100g (wet weight); based on
