Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 10; Dorsal soft rays (total): 14 - 15; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 12. With 4-5 scales on cheek; 21-24 predorsal scales; scaled dorsal and anal fins; narrow scaleless zone at dorsal midline interrupting Supra-temporal band of scales. Upper peduncular scale rows usually 11 (10-11); lower peduncular scale rows usually 14 or 15 (13-15). Most of body light to silvery blue, paler ventrally. Black blotch at the tip of each caudal-fin lobe bordered proximally by a white band. Presence of a small process on each ventrolateral surface of basioccipital for attachment of Baudelot's ligament. Post maxillary process single; posterior end of maxilla blunt.
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: compressed.
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: compressed.
Inhabits coastal areas, primarily on coral reefs. Forms large midwater aggregations and feeds on zooplankton. Oviparous, with numerous, small pelagic eggs (Ref. 402).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.5 - 29.3, mean 28.4 °C (based on 114 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5020 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01288 (0.00577 - 0.02877), b=3.09 (2.90 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-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 (25 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 61.2 [40.0, 92.2] mg/100g; Iron = 0.747 [0.485, 1.097] mg/100g; Protein = 19.1 [18.1, 20.0] %; Omega3 = 0.132 [0.090, 0.192] g/100g; Selenium = 28.2 [17.7, 48.5] μg/100g; VitaminA = 103 [42, 260] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.16 [0.85, 1.56] mg/100g (wet weight);
