Males migrate upriver at 3-4 years, females at 4-5 years; it starts entering rivers when temperatures reach 14-18°C, mainly in May, and spawning commences when temperature rises above 20°C in May and June (Ref. 59043). The spawners return downstream immediately after spawning, but many die after spawning; most juveniles migrate to river mouth in first summer and remain at sea until they mature (Ref. 10538, 59043). Spawning occurs close to estuaries in fresh and brackish water (Ref. 59043).In the marine and brackish water habitats, this shad consumes small fishes, such as species of Engraulis, Sardina, and Sardinella, and small benthic crustaceans, mainly isopods and amphipods (Ref. 10538).

Upper jaw with median notch (Ref. 59043). There are 40-60 gill rakers on the first arch with 25-38 on its lower part (Ref. 10538, 13696, 59043). Total number of dorsal fin rays 18-22; total number of anal fin rays 20-25; total number of pelvic fin rays 9 (Ref. 10538). Scales in a longitudinal series 58; scales in a transverse series 20; elongated scales at base of caudal fin lobes (Ref. 11601, 59043). Number of pre-pelvic ventral scutes 19-23; number of post-pelvic ventral scutes 13-16; total number of ventral scutes: 33-39 (Ref. 10538). Number of vertebrae: 53-57 (Ref. 10538). Kottelat, M. and J.
