Max length : 50.0 cm SL con đực/không giới tính; (Ref. 188); common length : 37.5 cm SL con đực/không giới tính; (Ref. 188); Khối lượng cực đại được công bố: 1.7 kg (Ref. 4699); Tuổi cực đại được báo cáo: 4 các năm (Ref. 12193)
Các tia vây lưng cứng (tổng cộng) : 0; Tia cứng vây hậu môn: 0. Belly with a distinct keel of scutes. Lower jaw not rising steeply within mouth; teeth prominent at front of lower jaw. Lower gill rakers slender. Back bluish green, abruptly changing to silver on flank; no dark spot at shoulder. Closely resembles A. mediocris of Atlantic coasts, which has no upper and weak lower jaw teeth, a dark shoulder spot and the body deeper than head length (Ref. 188).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: compressed.
Generally present in coastal marine water (Ref. 37039). Enter brackish- and freshwaters, but perhaps not always or not consistently anadromous (Ref. 188), although strongly migratory within rivers (Ref. 10294) , mostly in fast-flowing water where they are renowned for leaping. Feed on small fishes, the juveniles on insects. Spawning times and places not certain. Adults serve as hosts to the larvae (glochidia) of the economically valuable pearly mussel (Fusconaia ebena) of the Mississippi basin (Ref. 188).
