Eponymy: Dr Anthony David Lewis (d: 1948) is an Australian fisheries biologist and independent fisheries adviser who has joined the International Pole & Line Federation as a trustee (2014). [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
Issue
The species in the genera Spratelloides Bleeker, 1851 and Jenkinsia Jordan & Evermann, 1896 should most probably be assigned to a separated family from Clupeidae and Dussumieriidae (Lavoué, pers. comm., July 2013). See a preliminary analysis in Lavoué et al. (2013: Ref. 93878).

Grootte / Gewicht / Leeftijd
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 6.0 cm SL mannelijk / geslacht onbekend; (Ref. 188)
Dorsale stekels (totaal) : 0; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 12 - 13; Anale stekels: 0; Anale zachte stralen: 11 - 12. Distinguished from other species mainly by the silver band on the flanks which fades anteriorly (at about tips of pectoral fins). Maxilla toothed, triangular pre-maxillae, 2 supra-maxillae, second supra-maxilla asymmetrical (lower part larger than upper); vertical striae on scales not meeting at center; W-shaped pelvic scute.
Usually an inshore schooling species. More data needed. Used as bait in the tuna fishery. Found in coastal waters, sometimes forming large active schools at surface near reefs (Ref 90102).
