Spratelloididae (Small round herrings)
Etymology: Spratelloides: Old German, sprotte (1611) = a small fish, Clupea sp. + Greek, suffix, oides = similar to (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: Dr Anthony David Lewis (d: 1948) is an Australian fisheries biologist and independent fisheries adviser who has joined the International Pole & Line Federation as a trustee (2014). [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
Taxonomic Remarks
The species in the genera Spratelloides Bleeker, 1851 and Jenkinsia Jordan & Evermann, 1896 should most probably be assigned to a separated family from Clupeidae and Dussumieriidae (Lavoué, pers. comm., July 2013). See a preliminary analysis in Lavoué et al. (2013: Ref. 93878).
Ambiente: milieu / zona climatica / distribuzione batimetrica / gamma di distribuzione
Ecologia
marino pelagic-neritic; distribuzione batimetrica 0 - 50 m (Ref. 188). Tropical; 2°N - 12°S, 130°E - 164°E (Ref. 188)
Western Central Pacific: Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea, and off Irian Jaya.
Dimensione / Peso / Età
Maturità: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 6.0 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 188)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 12 - 13; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 11 - 12. Distinguished from other species mainly by the silver band on the flanks which fades anteriorly (at about tips of pectoral fins). Maxilla toothed, triangular pre-maxillae, 2 supra-maxillae, second supra-maxilla asymmetrical (lower part larger than upper); vertical striae on scales not meeting at center; W-shaped pelvic scute.
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: oval.
Usually an inshore schooling species. More data needed. Used as bait in the tuna fishery. Found in coastal waters, sometimes forming large active schools at surface near reefs (Ref 90102).
