Short description
Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri
Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 0; Taggstrålar i analfenan: 0; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 14 - 17. Body fairly elongate. Snout long, about equal to eye diameter; maxilla moderate, tip rather bluntly pointed, reaching onto inter-operculum, but not to edge of gill cover; gill cover canals of panamensis-type. Anal fin very short, its origin below or behind last dorsal fin ray base. A silver stripe along flank, about 3/4 eye diameter.
A schooling species found in coastal waters. Caught over sand or gravel in the Gulf of Nicoya but not in inner parts of the Gulf. May spawn over a protracted period in Gulf of Nicoya. The eggs are oval. TL = 1.25 SL.
