Ekologi
marina pelagic-neritic; amfidrom (Ref. 51243); djupintervall 0 - 50 m (Ref. 188). Tropical; 37°N - 27°S, 33°E - 149°W

Könsmognad: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 20.3 cm SL hane/ej könsbestämd; (Ref. 3605); common length : 10.0 cm SL hane/ej könsbestämd; (Ref. 188)
Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 0; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 13 - 21; Taggstrålar i analfenan: 0; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 12 - 23. Body depth usually not much more than 30% of standard length; scutes 27 to 31. The jet black caudal tips distinguish S. melanura from all other species of Sardinella except S. atricauda (scutes 32 to 35), S. hualiensis (dark spot at dorsal fin origin, scales fimbriated and with small perforations) and S. fijiense (gill rakers 87 to 134).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: compressed.
Form schools in coastal waters (Ref. 188, 75154). Regarded a robust and very good bait in the tuna fishery.
