Author: Wongratana, 1983
FBname: Lewis' round herring
Remark: The species in the genera <i>Spratelloides</i> Bleeker, 1851 and <i>Jenkinsia</i> Jordan & Evermann, 1896 should most probably be assigned to a separated family from Clupeidae and Dussumieriidae (Lavoué, pers. comm., July 2013).  See a preliminary analysis in Lavoué <i>et al.</i> (2013: Ref. 93878).
Comments: Usually an inshore schooling species.  More data needed.  Used as bait in the tuna fishery. Found in coastal waters, sometimes forming large active schools at surface near reefs (Ref 90102).
