FBname: Bali sardinella
Comments: Adults form large schools in coastal waters, particularly in the Bali Strait upwelling.  Found in sheltered bays and lagoons (Ref. 48635).  They feed on phytoplankton and zooplankton, chiefly copepods.  Time series analysis (Ref. 9586) suggests that recruitment fluctuations are related to ENSO events, as defined in Ref. 9577, 9578 and 9580.
