Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecology
Marine; pelagic-neritic; depth range 0 - 70 m (Ref. 54915). Subtropical; 30°S - 37°S, 74°W - 70°W (Ref. 54915)
Distribution Countries | FAO areas | Ecosystems | Occurrences | Point map | Introductions | Faunafri
Southeast Pacific: Coquimbo, Valparaiso and south to Talcahuano, Chile; perhaps reaches further south to Mocha Island, but more southerly records may refer to Sprattus fuegensis. Subspecies have been noted (Ref. 6698): Strangomera bentincki bentincki (Talcahuano southward) and Strangomera bentincki cuga (Valparaiso to Talcahuano).
Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age
Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 0; Dorsal soft rays (total): 13 - 21; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 12 - 23. Belly not strongly keeled (Ref. 188). Body dark blue dorsally and silvery white ventrally. Fins translucent (Ref. 27363).
Occurs in schools at or near the surface in coastal waters. Feeds on plankton, especially diatoms (filter-feeding). Breeds mainly from June to November, from a length of about 10 cm. Eggs and larvae are planktonic (Ref. 52017). Mainly used for fishmeal.
Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae
Apparently releases planktonic eggs (similar to the demersal eggs of northern hemisphere Clupea).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00575 (0.00330 - 0.01002), b=3.11 (2.95 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.7 ±0.30 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (K=0.6).
Prior r = 1.11, 95% CL = 0.73 - 1.67, Based on 1 data-limited stock assessment.
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (26 of 100).
Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649): Very high vulnerability (88 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 134 [74, 232] mg/100g; Iron = 1.83 [1.01, 3.14] mg/100g; Protein = 19.4 [18.3, 20.5] %; Omega3 = 0.567 [0.348, 0.939] g/100g; Selenium = 23.8 [12.8, 46.2] μg/100g; VitaminA = 9.87 [3.19, 27.55] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.09 [0.75, 1.59] mg/100g (wet weight);
