Espinas dorsales (total) : 6 - 9; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 8 - 11; Espinas anales: 1; Radios blandos anales: 11 - 14. Lips absent. Ascending process of premaxilla, short and broad. Gill rakers in first lower gill arch 18-22. Midlateral scales 39-46. Predorsal scales 17-22.
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: oval.
Inhabits waters close inshore. Often seen to jump out of the water, especially after sunset when they appear as fluorescent streaks. At night they appear to aggregate with Atherinomorus capricornensis around One Tree Island (eastern Australia). Probably eaten by larger commercial species (Ref. 9760).
