Author: Cervigón & Velazquez, 1978
FBname: Short-striped 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: A pelagic school-forming species found near coral reefs.  Feeds on zooplankton.
