Dorosomatidae (Gizzard shads and sardinellas)
Etymology: Sardinella: Latin and Greek, sarda = sardine; name related to the island of Sardinia; diminutive (Ref. 45335).
More on author: Valenciennes.
Ambiente: milieu / zona climatica / distribuzione batimetrica / gamma di distribuzione
Ecologia
marino; salmastro pelagic-neritic; distribuzione batimetrica 0 - 50 m (Ref. 188). Tropical; 30°N - 11°S, 47°E - 153°E (Ref. 188)
Indo-West Pacific: from Kuwait to southern India and Bay of Bengal to the Philippines, also eastern tip of Papua New Guinea. Often confused with Sardinella gibbosa in Indian waters.
Lunghezza alla prima maturità / Dimensione / Peso / Età
Maturità: Lm 12.3, range 10 - ? cm
Max length : 19.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 2178); common length : 11.0 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 188)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 18 - 19; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 18 - 20. This species is distinguished by the following characters: deep body, its depth 28·0-33·2% SL; interrupted longitudinal striae formation in lateral scales; scutes prepelvic and post-pelvic 17-18 + 11-12, respectively, oftern 18 + 12; A 18-20 rays, usually 19; lower gill rakers 65-81 (Ref. 114969).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: compressed.
Forms schools in coastal waters. Misidentifications (especially with S. gibbosa in Indian waters and S. albella in the western Indian Ocean) make published biological data potentially unreliable. Marketed fresh, dried-salted, boiled or made into fish balls.
