Οικολογία
Θαλασσινό(ά); εύρος βάθους 0 - 500 m (Ref. 54925), usually 100 - 300 m (Ref. 54925). Subtropical; 7°N - 37°S, 4°E - 24°E (Ref. 54925)
Eastern Atlantic: Gulf of Guinea to South Africa. Bianchi et. al. 1993 notes 'Smith-Vaniz (1992, pers. comm.) does not believe that Trachurus capensis is a valid species but admits that an adequate series of this species along the coast of Africa are not available'.
Length at first maturity / Μέγεθος / Βάρος / Age
Maturity: Lm 32.5, range 20 - 33 cm
Max length : 60.0 cm FL αρσενικό/απροσδιόριστο; (Ref. 3166); common length : 30.0 cm FL αρσενικό/απροσδιόριστο; (Ref. 3166)
Adults are found mainly over the continental shelf, often over sand bottoms (Ref. 27121). Shoals rise to feed in surface waters at night and found close to the bottom during the day (Ref. 27121). Juveniles feed mainly on copepods while adults prey on fish and a wide range of invertebrates (Ref. 27121).
