Author: Baldwin & Chang, 1970
FBname: Persistent anchovy
Comments: Presumably schooling and most often found in warm, murky waters near shore and in bays near river mouths (specimens taken some km up the Rio Santiago, Nayarit, Mexico).  Capable of tolerating lower salinities than that of the sea (Ref. 9298).  The ovarian eggs are elliptical.  Caught as a by-catch of encircling, lamparo, and trawl nets (Ref. 9298).
