Remarks

Occurs near the surface, mainly coastal, but to over 1000 km from the shore, forming large schools, tending to move northward and inshore (into bays and inlets) in spring and summer, but without well-defined migrations. Feeds on plants and zooplankton (Ref. 5398). Also in Ref. 9137. Young fish feed on zooplankton such as copepod and adults on phytoplankton (Ref. 39882). Employs both filter- and particular-feeding modes on zooplankton (Ref. 42392).
