Longueur à la première maturité / Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturité: Lm 14.1  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 22.0 cm SL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 54980); common length : 14.0 cm SL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 3107)
Épines dorsales (Total) : 0; Épines anales: 0; Rayons mous anaux: 17 - 25. Body depth increasing with size of fish, 40 to 70 % standard length in fishes over 10 cm. Second supra-maxilla a mere splint. Longest gill rakers on lower part of arch less than corresponding gill filaments. Hind edges of scales toothed, the teeth thinner than the gaps between them; a median series of pre-dorsal scales. A large black spot behind gill opening.
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: compressed.
Pelagic inshore (Ref. 68964). Usually marine coastal, but ascends rivers to the upper tidal zone (Ref. 12693). Occurs inshore and also in estuaries. Feeds on diatoms, radiolarians, mollusks, copepods, and crustaceans (in that order of importance, at least in the Godavari estuary). Breeds from November to February, mainly in the later part (Godavari estuary). Marketed fresh, frozen, dried, dried-salted or boiled. Made into fish balls.
