Notes  Description: This schooling species has an optimum temperature between 27 and 27.9°C. Adults are principally caught in coastal waters and around islands (Ref. 9340). Feeds on small fishes, particularly anchovies, crustaceans (especially crab and stomatopod larvae) and squids. Because of their abundance, they are considered an important element of the food web, particularly as forage for other species of commercial interest. Also caught with encircling nets and troll lines (Ref. 9340). Marketed fresh and frozen (Ref. 9340) and also dried/salted, smoked and canned (Ref. 9987). [details]

Distribution: Southern N.S, and Mass. To N.C. and probably throughout W. Indies [details]

Habitat: nektonic [details]
