Etymology: Cololabis: Greek, kolos = short, truncated + Latin, labia = lips (Ref. 45335 ) ;   saira: From the Japanese word 'saira' meaning spear (Ref. 6885 ) .

Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecology

Marine; pelagic-oceanic; oceanodromous (Ref. 51243 ); depth range 0 - 230 m (Ref. 9339 ). Subtropical; 67°N - 18°N, 117°E - 108°W (Ref. 54338 )

Distribution Countries | FAO areas | Ecosystems | Occurrences | Point map | Introductions | Faunafri

North Pacific: Korea (Ref. 37630 ) and Japan eastward to Gulf of Alaska and southward to Mexico. Highly migratory species.

Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age

Maturity: L m 23.7 , range 25 - 28 cm
Max length : 40.0 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 39882 ); max. published weight: 180.00 g (Ref. 56527 ); max. reported age: 4 years (Ref. 72462 )

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 0; Dorsal soft rays (total): 9-12; Anal spines : 0; Anal soft rays : 12 - 15; Vertebrae : 62 - 69. Caudal fin broadly and finely forked; pectorals small, truncate, first ray notably flattened (Ref. 6885 ). Dark green to blue on dorsal surface, silvery below, small bright blue blotches distributed haphazardly on sides; fins on lower part of body pale, others with darkened rays (Ref. 6885 ). Branchiostegal rays: 12-15 (Ref. 36573 ).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Adults are generally found offshore, usually near surface, in schools (Ref. 2850 ). Juveniles associate with drifting seaweed (Ref. 12114 , 12115 ). Feed on small crustaceans, and eggs and larvae of fishes. May glide above the surface of the water when moving away from predators. Prey of Thunnus alalunga and other scombrids (Ref. 9339 ). Oviparous, with larvae neustonic (Ref. 36573 ). Eggs are attached to one another and to floating objects via filaments on the shell surface (Ref. 36573 ). Utilized dried or salted, canned and frozen; also used for fishmeal and pet food; can be pan-fried and broiled (Ref. 9988 ).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 4.6 - 14.8, mean 8 °C (based on 99 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.7812   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00240 (0.00125 - 0.00462), b=3.15 (2.97 - 3.33), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245 ).
