Maturity: L_m ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 50.0 cm FL male/unsexed; (Ref. 7097); common length : 30.0 cm Fl male/unsexed; (Ref. 9283)

Adults are pelagic (Ref. 58302), in oceanic and inshore waters (Ref. 9563) forming schools (Ref. 9283). They feed mainly on planktonic invertebrates (Ref. 9283). Marketed fresh and salted or dried (Ref. 9283).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 14.1 - 28.1, mean 23.6 °C (based on 1345 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5010 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01230 (0.00628 - 0.02410), b=2.97 (2.81 - 3.13), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.45 se; based on food items.

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (42 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Medium.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 481 [159, 1,454] mg/100g; Iron = 4.95 [1.76, 11.62] mg/100g; Protein = 19.9 [18.5, 21.4] %; Omega3 = 0.369 [0.177, 0.790] g/100g; Selenium = 98.4 [31.3, 289.6] μg/100g; VitaminA = 15 [4, 62] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.28 [0.72, 2.35] mg/100g (wet weight);
