Indo-West Pacific: Gulf of Aden south to Madagascar and Mauritius and east to the Arabian Sea and northwestern India (apparently not found south of Bombay nor in northern Bay of Bengal); then from Indonesia (but not in South China Sea) to Samoa. Reported from the Penghu Islands (Ref. 55073).

Taille / Poids / Âge

Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 20.3 cm SL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 3605); common length : 10.0 cm SL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 188)

Description synthétique Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie

Épines dorsales (Total) : 0; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 13 - 21; Épines anales: 0; Rayons mous anaux: 12 - 23. Body depth usually not much more than 30% of standard length; scutes 27 to 31. The jet black caudal tips distinguish S. melanura from all other species of Sardinella except S. atricauda (scutes 32 to 35), S. hualiensis (dark spot at dorsal fin origin, scales fimbriated and with small perforations) and S. fijiense (gill rakers 87 to 134).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: compressed.

Biologie     Glossaire (ex. epibenthic)

Form schools in coastal waters (Ref. 188, 75154). Regarded a robust and very good bait in the tuna fishery.
