Dorosomatidae (Gizzard shads and sardinellas)
Etymology: Sardinella: Latin and Greek, sarda = sardine; name related to the island of Sardinia; diminutive (Ref. 45335).
Ambiente: milieu / zona climatica / distribuzione batimetrica / gamma di distribuzione
Ecologia
marino pelagic-neritic; distribuzione batimetrica 0 - 50 m (Ref. 188). Tropical; 24°N - 19°S, 164°W - 141°W (Ref. 188)
Eastern Pacific: endemic to the Marquesas Islands. Introduced into Hawaiian waters.
Dimensione / Peso / Età
Maturità: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 16.0 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 54980); common length : 10.0 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 188)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 13 - 21; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 12 - 23. Body slender; total scutes 28 to 30; lower gill rakers strongly increasing with size of fish, about 45 at 5 or 6 cm standard length, 50 to 80 (maximum) at 6 to 10 cm. Vertical striae on scales not meeting at center, no perforations on hind part of scale. No dark spot at dorsal fin origin, no dark tips to caudal fin. Can be separated from other species by a combination of above characters.
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: compressed.
Pelagic (Ref. 58302). Forms schools in coastal waters. Dominant species in beach seine hauls. Used as tuna bait (Ref. 6822). First reported case of clupeoid poisoning was in 1978 in the Hawaiian Is., probably caused by a planktonic dinoflagellate (Ref. 45133). Migratory behaviour is undetermined (Ref. 126106).
