					Issue   
The species in the genera Spratelloides Bleeker, 1851 and Jenkinsia Jordan & Evermann, 1896 should most probably be assigned to a separated family from Clupeidae and Dussumieriidae (Lavoué, pers. comm., July 2013).  See a preliminary analysis in Lavoué et al. (2013: Ref. 93878).

				Pelagic (Ref. 68964). Usually an inshore schooling species, inhabiting relatively clear coastal waters, lagoons, and along reef margins.  Feeds near surface on plankton.  Found in large schools (Ref. 9710).  Pelagic (Ref. 58302).  Marketed fresh or dried-salted (Ref. 5213) and used as tuna baitfish.
