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

Marine; pelagic-neritic; oceanodromous; depth range 3 - 80 m. Subtropical; 13°C - 23°C (Ref. 6 ); 5°S - 43°S, 82°W - 69°W (Ref. 54434 )

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

Southeast Pacific: Aguja Point, Peru to Chiloé, Chile (distribution dependent on the coastal extent of the Peru Current).

Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age

Maturity: L m 12.0 , range 10 - 12.5 cm
Max length : 20.0 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 189 ); common length : 14.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 5504 ); max. reported age: 3.00 years (Ref. 189 )

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 0; Anal spines : 0. Body elongate, slender, and rounded in cross section; snout long and prominent; lower branch of first gill arch with 34 to 49 gill rakers; anal fin with fewer than 22 rays, located behind dorsal fin base; body shiny blue or green (Ref. 55763 ). There is a silver stripe along flank in juveniles which disappears with age. The high number of gill rakers distinguishes it from all Pacific species of Anchoa .

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Adults occur mainly within 80 km of coast, forming huge schools, chiefly in surface waters. Are filter-feeders entirely dependent on the rich plankton of the Peruvian Current. In some studies, diatoms constituted as much as 98% of the diet. Large populations of guano birds and pelicans also depend on this fish (Ref. 9988 ). Utilized as fish meal and oil (Ref. 9988 ).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 17 - 20.8, mean 19.7 °C (based on 10 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5020   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00457 (0.00364 - 0.00574), b=3.12 (3.08 - 3.16), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  2.9   ±0.38 se; based on food items. Generation time: 1.3 (1.1 - 1.3) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 60 growth studies. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (K=0.6-0.9; tm=1; tmax=3; batch fecundity > 10,000). Prior r = 0.83, 95% CL = 0.55 - 1.25, Based on 4 stock assessments. Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low vulnerability (17 of 100). Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649 ):  Moderate vulnerability (42 of 100). Price category (Ref. 80766 ):   Low . Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 233 [104, 574] mg/100g; Iron = 1.55 [0.73, 3.65] mg/100g; Protein = 18.7 [17.4, 20.0] %; Omega3 = 0.764 [0.444, 1.331] g/100g; Selenium = 16.8 [7.9, 39.6] μg/100g; VitaminA = 11 [2, 47] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.18 [0.73, 1.89] mg/100g (wet weight);
