FBname: Pacific sabretooth anchovy
Comments: Occurs inshore but entering brackish if not fresh water (thus probably similar to <i>L. grossidens</i>).  Feeds on fishes (including other anchovies), perhaps also crustaceans.  Nearly ripe females occurred in the Gulf of Nicoya, Costa Rica in June, August and September, and juveniles of 3.3-4.5 cm in January and October.  TL = 1.257 SL.
