Etymology: Sardinella: Latin and Greek, sarda = sardine; name related to the island of Sardinia; diminutive (Ref. 45335).

Οικολογία
Θαλασσινό(ά); Υφάλμυρο; εύρος βάθους 0 - 50 m (Ref. 188). Tropical; 30°N - 11°S, 47°E - 153°E (Ref. 188)
Indo-West Pacific: from Kuwait to southern India and Bay of Bengal to the Philippines, also eastern tip of Papua New Guinea. Often confused with Sardinella gibbosa in Indian waters.
Length at first maturity / Μέγεθος / Βάρος / Age
Maturity: Lm 12.3, range 10 - ? cm
Max length : 19.0 cm TL αρσενικό/απροσδιόριστο; (Ref. 2178); common length : 11.0 cm SL αρσενικό/απροσδιόριστο; (Ref. 188)
Ραχιαίες άκανθες (συνολικά) : 0; Μαλακές ραχιαίες ακτίνες (συνολικά) : 18 - 19; Εδρικές άκανθες: 0; Μαλακές εδρικές ακτίνες: 18 - 20. This species is distinguished by the following characters: deep body, its depth 28·0-33·2% SL; interrupted longitudinal striae formation in lateral scales; scutes prepelvic and post-pelvic 17-18 + 11-12, respectively, oftern 18 + 12; A 18-20 rays, usually 19; lower gill rakers 65-81 (Ref. 114969).
Forms schools in coastal waters. Misidentifications (especially with S. gibbosa in Indian waters and S. albella in the western Indian Ocean) make published biological data potentially unreliable. Marketed fresh, dried-salted, boiled or made into fish balls.
