Dorsal spines (total): 0; Anal spines : 0; Anal soft rays : 27 - 34. Moderately deep. Snout pointed, about 1/2 to 3/4 eye diameter; maxilla moderate, tip rather blunt, not reaching to hind border of pre-operculum; pseudobranch short, covered by skin; gill cover canals of panamensis-type. Anal fin origin a little before midpoint of dorsal fin base. A bright silver stripe along flank, often as wide as eye, not fading on preservation.

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

A schooling species most commonly found in bays and inlets (the fourth most abundant fish taken by various gear in Newport Bay, California; its eggs are the most abundant of 7 species sampled, especially in May). The ovarian eggs are spherical. Eggs and larvae are planktonic (Ref. 35602 ). Feeds on plankton (Ref. 8593 ). Basically filter-feeders, but at times have been observed feeding by selection (Ref. 4930 ). Normally used as bait (Ref. 9298 ).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 13.2 - 21.6, mean 17.7 °C (based on 12 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00513 (0.00232 - 0.01135), b=3.14 (2.96 - 3.32), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.4   ±0.45 se; based on food items. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100). Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 192 [123, 439] mg/100g; Iron = 1.91 [1.08, 3.46] mg/100g; Protein = 17.9 [15.6, 20.6] %; Omega3 = 0.499 [0.277, 0.934] g/100g; Selenium = 17.2 [8.1, 37.9] μg/100g; VitaminA = 20.4 [6.6, 54.1] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.36 [0.94, 2.07] mg/100g (wet weight);
