Ökologie
seewasser pelagic-neritic; tiefenbereich 124 - 282 m (Ref. 5951). Tropical; 45°N - 0°, 91°W - 46°W (Ref. 189)

Größe / Gewicht / Alter
Geschlechtsreife: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 15.5 cm TL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 37032); common length : 8.0 cm TL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 5217)
Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt) : 0; Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 13 - 16; Afterflossenstacheln: 0; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 13 - 18. Hardly differs from European anchovy (see E. encrasicolus) and can be identified from that description. Differs from Atlantic species of Anchoviella by its much longer pseudobranch (more than eye diameter and reaching onto inner face of operculum); differs from Atlantic species of Anchoa in its short and blunt-tipped maxilla (cf. pointed and reaching onto pre-operculum or beyond) (Ref. 189).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: oval.
Common in shallow sheltered waters like harbors, etc., forming compact schools. Spawning peak is in July or August. Eggs are ellipsoidal (Ref. 189). Migratory behaviour is undetermined (Ref. 126106).
