Dorosomatidae (Gizzard shads and sardinellas)
Etymology: piquitinga: Specific name probably after the `piquitinga' of Marcgraf 1648.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologia
marinhas; estuarina; intervalo de profundidade 0 - 50 m (Ref. 188). Tropical; 13°N - 20°S, 70°W - 32°W (Ref. 188)
Western Atlantic: Nueva Esparta, Venezuela; coasts of Brazil from Racife and Lake Papary near Natal south to Bahia and Espirito Santo); probably occurring throughout northern South America (Ref. 5217).
Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 15.0 cm SL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 188); common length : 12.0 cm SL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 188)
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 0; Raios dorsais (total) : 13 - 21; Espinhos anais: 0; Raios anais : 12 - 23. Belly sharply keeled; a well-developed first (anterior) supra-maxilla (cf. Platanichthys platana); hind border of gill opening evenly rounded; no retrorse spine on upper part of maxilla (cf. Rhinosardinia). Closely resembles the Pacific L. stolifera, but caudal fin tips not black. The very bright silver stripe along flank distinguishes it from other similar clupeids in the area.
Occurs inshore, over muddy bottoms and in brackish or hyper-saline littoral lagoons (Ref. 5217). Forms schools.
