Breve descrizione
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 16 - 22. Snout moderate, about 3/4 eye diameter; maxilla quite long, tip pointed, reaching almost to edge of gill cover; lower gill rakers increasing in larger fishes; pseudobranch long, extending onto inner face of operculum; gill cover canals of panamensis-type. Anal fin short, its origin under posterior third of dorsal fin base. Broad silver stripe along flank, lost with age.
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: oval.
Occurs in coastal waters. In the Gulf of Nicoya, Costa Rica, it is confined to the inner parts, thus apparently tolerating lowered salinities
