Θαλασσινό(ά); Υφάλμυρο pelagic-neritic; εύρος βάθους 31 - 70 m (Ref. 58489). Subtropical; 20°S - 47°S, 109°E - 177°W (Ref. 189)
Southwest Pacific: Australia (from Queensland at about Cape Capricorn south to southern Tasmania; entire southern coast of Australia, except for Great Australian Bight, and north to Shark Bay, Western Australia), including Lord Howe Island and Norfolk Island; and New Zealand (most of the North Island and all but the southeast coast of the South Island).

Max length : 15.0 cm SL αρσενικό/απροσδιόριστο; (Ref. 33832); common length : 12.0 cm SL αρσενικό/απροσδιόριστο; (Ref. 9822); μεγ. αναφερόμενη ηλικία: 6 έτη (Ref. 6390)
Ραχιαίες άκανθες (συνολικά) : 0; Μαλακές ραχιαίες ακτίνες (συνολικά) : 13 - 18; Εδρικές άκανθες: 0; Μαλακές εδρικές ακτίνες: 17 - 19; Σπόνδυλοι: 40 - 48. Hardly differs from the European anchovy (E. encrasicolus) and can be identified from that description. For most of its range it is the only anchovy present, but in the extreme north it may overlap with species of Encrasicholina or Stolephorus, which have small needle-like scutes before the pelvic fins; species of Thryssa have compressed bodies and a keel of scutes along the belly.
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: circular.
Found mostly inshore: chiefly in bays, inlets and estuaries, sometimes in low salinities. Older individuals tend to move out to sea in winter and back in the spring. Forms compact schools much preyed upon by larger fishes, common dolphins and birds. Feeds on plankton. Spawns in inlets, bays and also estuaries, probably throughout the year but mainly in late spring to early autumn and especially about November to February. The eggs are ellipsoidal. Utilized as fish paste.
Spawns in inlets, bays and estuaries.
