Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ökologie
seewasser; tiefenbereich 0 - 50 m (Ref. 188). Subtropical; 33°S - 42°S, 64°W - 52°W (Ref. 188)
Southwest Atlantic: southern Brazil (estuary of the Lagoa dos Patos) and Uruguay to at least Bahía Blanca, Argentina; some of the more southerly records (even to the Beagle Channel) must refer to Sprattus fuegensis.
Size / Gewicht / Alter
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 9.0 cm SL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 188); common length : 7.5 cm SL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 188)
Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt) : 0; Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 18 - 19; Afterflossenstacheln: 0; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 12 - 23. Belly sharply keeled. Flanks silvery without a distinct silver stripe (cf. Platanichthys). Distinguished from R. melanostoma of freshwaters by having more dorsal and pectoral fin rays and total gill rakers; from small Sardinella and Harengula by the evenly rounded hind margin of the gill opening; and from Sprattus fuegensis by having i 6 pelvic fin rays.
Forms schools in coastal waters, apparently inshore but not entering freshwater.
