Short description

Dorsal spines (total): 0; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 15 - 17. Belly rounded with 5 or 6 (rarely 3 or 4) sharp needle-like pre-pelvic scutes. Maxilla tip pointed, projecting beyond second supra-maxilla and reaching to sub-operculum. Isthmus short, preceded by a small bony plate on urohyal between branchial membrane. Unbranched dorsal and anal fin rays. In life, a bright silver band on flank, with a thin blue line above; back blue or grey.

Schooling species. Coastal pelagic (Ref. 68964). Occurs in estuarine and inshore waters. Probably feeds mainly on planktonic crustaceans. Breeds throughout the year, with peaks in New Ireland waters during May to June or July and possibly also in September to November. Eggs are oval, without a knob at one end.
