Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 13 - 21; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 12 - 23. Diagnosis: Body slender, belly rather rounded, scutes not prominent (Ref. 188). It is distinguished from Amblygaster clupeoides and A. leiogaster by the presence of a series of 10-20 gold, in life, or black, on preservation, spots down the flank, but sometimes missing; also, lower gillrakers 33-43, while 26-33 in the other two species (Ref. 188). Sardinops species are also round-bodied and have spots on the flanks, but possess bony radiating striae on the gill cover; round-bodied Sardinella species have one unbranched and 8 branched pelvic finrays while Amblygaster sirm has one unbranched and 7 branched pelvic finrays, and more than 100 gillrakers are present in Sardinella species, also no spots (Ref. 188). Last 2 anal-fin rays enlarged (Ref. 117228).
A pelagic, schooling species occurring in coastal waters and lagoons (Ref. 188, 53568), at depths of 1-75m (Ref. 82332). In Panggang Island, Indonesia it was recorded in temperatures of 28.5-29.8°C and salinities of 31.6-32.3 ppt (Ref. 823). It feeds mainly on copepods, nauplii and zoea larvae, larval bivalves and gastropods, as well as Peridinium and Ceratium; juveniles also on phytoplankton (Ref. 188). Used as bait in the tuna fishery.

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 26.2 - 29.1, mean 28.2 °C (based on 1152 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5625 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00832 (0.00727 - 0.00952), b=3.06 (3.02 - 3.10), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.9 ±0.30 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 1.2 (0.9 - 1.9) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 20 growth studies.
Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (K=0.37-3.74; tm=1; tmax=8; Fec > 10,000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (16 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 104 [31, 407] mg/100g; Iron = 1.75 [0.62, 4.11] mg/100g; Protein = 20.6 [17.9, 22.9] %; Omega3 = 0.277 [0.131, 0.610] g/100g; Selenium = 69.1 [23.0, 232.3] μg/100g; VitaminA = 39.8 [9.6, 176.1] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.67 [0.84, 3.13] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
