Ecologia
; Água doce; estuarina pelágico(a,os,as). Tropical; 9°N - 7°S
South America: drainage (Orinoco, as far up as the Rio Manacacias in Colombia, rivers of the Guianas, and Amazon at least as far up as Teffe and the Jutahi River - if specimens were identified correctly - and even as far up as the Ucayali, Huallaga and Moroña Rivers of the upper Amazon).
Length at first maturity / Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturity: Lm ?, range 17 - ? cm
Max length : 30.0 cm TL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 5217); common length : 20.0 cm TL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 5217)
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 0; Espinhos anais: 0; Raios anais moles: 26 - 30. Snout about 3/4 eye diameter, maxilla moderate, tip pointed, reaching almost to or just beyond front margin of pre-operculum. gill rakers short and stumpy. Dorsal fin origin well behind midpoint of body; anal fin origin below first to fourth branched dorsal fin rays. Silver stripe along flank, twice eye diameter at widest, lost in fishes over 10 to 12 cm SL; curve of black dots on operculum (Ref. 189).
Occurs far up rivers, but apparently reaches down to river mouths. Carnivorous, feeds on small fishes and probably crustaceans (Ref. 12225). A ripe female of 17.2 cm SL was recorded at Tucupita, Orinoco delta in Venezuela.
