Comments: Ranges from the Inland Sea of Japan to Hokkaido (Ref. 559); including Sagami Bay (Ref. 39393). Also from western Kyushu (excl. Ryukyu Islands) (Ref. 11230). Two genetically different lineages were found in Japan Sea/East Sea, perhaps representing two different species (J.K. Kim, oral.comm, FishBoL2012, June 2012).

Short description Morfología | Morfometría

Espinas dorsales (total): 0; Radios blandos dorsales (total): 55-59; Espinas anales 0; Radios blandos anales: 28 - 32; Vértebra: 62 - 67. Characterized by having a horizontal skin fold along its ventral contour, and the absence of pelvic fin and teeth. Lateral plicae 160 to 180. Lower jaw pointed. Lateral line system on head not continuous with that on the body.

Biología     Glosario (por ej. epibenthic)

Found in sand bottoms and may enter semi-enclosed sea areas (Ref. 11230). Forms large schools. Important food fish in Japan (marketed fresh or dried) and marketed fresh but mainly used for meal and oil manufacture in Europe (Ref. 10384). Common size taken from picture in Ref. 559. Maximum size estimated as 1.5 * common size. Two genetically different lineages were found in Japan Sea/East Sea, perhaps representing two different species (J.K. Kim, oral.comm, FishBoL2012, June 2012).
