Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 0; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 10 - 12; Taggstrålar i analfenan: 0; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 12 - 14; Ryggkotor: 64 - 68. Presence of toothless bill-like jaws, and finlets posterior to the dorsal and anal fins.
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.
An epipelagic, gregarious species. Occurs in surface waters of the open sea; occasionally enters bays and inlets (Ref. 9563). Flesh is highly esteemed (Ref. 6617) but large schools are too sporadic to be of commercial importance (Ref. 6531). Feeds on small planktonic organisms, preyed upon by yellowfin tuna, Cape gunnets, marine mammals. Migrates from spawning areas to cool temperate and plankton-rich waters (Ref. 36731).
