Description: Forms schools near mangroves, shallow coastal bays and lagoons during the day and moves further offshore into deeper water by night. Feeding occurs mainly at night on zooplankton, chiefly copepods by juveniles, and as adults, on larger prey organisms (chaetognaths, polychaetes, shrimps and small fishes). Breeds during its first year and probably survives only a few months after maturity. Marketed fresh and dried salted. [details] | |||||||||||||
