Environment: milieu / climate zone / rango de profundidad / distribution range
Ecología
marino pelagic-neritic; rango de profundidad 0 - 50 m (Ref. 188). Tropical; 1°N - 9°S, 105°E - 134°E (Ref. 188)
Western Pacific: Indonesia. Occurs with Sardinella melanura in the Java Sea and must have been confused with it frequently.
Tamaño / Peso / Age
Madurez: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 12.6 cm SL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 188); common length : 10.0 cm SL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 188)
Espinas dorsales (total) : 0; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 13 - 21; Espinas anales: 0; Radios blandos anales: 12 - 23. Body slender; total scutes 32 to 35 (pre-pelvic scutes usually 19). Lower gill rakers with many asperities on them. Vertical striae on scales not meeting at the center, numerous small perforations on hind part of scale.
