FBname: Whitley's silverside
Comments: Inhabits waters close inshore.  Often seen to jump out of the water, especially after sunset when they appear as fluorescent streaks.  At night they appear to aggregate with <i>Atherinomorus capricornensis</i> around One Tree Island (eastern Australia).  Probably eaten by larger commercial species (Ref. 9760).
