Author: (Jordan & Gilbert, 1884)
FBname: Florida 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 occurring inshore.  Forms schools.  Feeds on plankton.  Probably grows to 5 or 6 cm SL.
