Dorosomatidae (Gizzard shads and sardinellas)
Etymology: Sardinella: Latin and Greek, sarda = sardine; name related to the island of Sardinia; diminutive (Ref. 45335).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecología
marino; rango de profundidad 1 - 60 m (Ref. 30573). Tropical; 7°N - 14°S, 38°E - 49°E (Ref. 188)
Western Indian Ocean: Somalia (Ref. 30573), Kenya, and Tanzania.
Tamaño / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 13.0 cm SL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 188)
Espinas dorsales (total): 0; Radios blandos dorsales (total): 13-21; Espinas anales 0; Radios blandos anales: 12 - 23. Distinguished from all other clupeids along the East African coast by its pelvic fin ray count of i 8. Very closely resembles S. longiceps, but its head shorter and lower gill rakers fewer. A faint golden spot behind gill opening, followed by a faint golden mid-lateral line; a distinct black spot at hind border of gill cover (absence of silver pigment).
Forms schools in coastal waters. Feeds presumably mainly on phytoplankton like S. longiceps and its breeding biology is perhaps similar to that species too. Apparently not abundant, occurring mostly during the northeast monsoon period (November-January).
