Max length : 12.0 cm TL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 4125)
Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt) : 6 - 8; Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 8 - 10; Afterflossenstacheln: 1; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 11 - 14. Transparent and blue-green in color, silvery midlateral stripe and abdomen (Ref. 4125). Ascending process of premaxilla moderately long and narrow, lateral process short and wide. Ramus of dentary highly elevated posteriorly. Midlateral band narrow (Ref. 9760). Two rows of pigment spots may be present below lateral band (Ref. 37816).
Usually found in coastal waters and harbors within its range. Important as food for larger commercial fishes (Ref. 9760). Used as bait in the tuna fishery (Ref. 6822).
