Comments: A schooling species found in coastal waters, from beaches down to 110 m or more.  Has an apparently long spawning season (July to January) around the South Island, but not a fractional spawner.  Eggs are present in mid-summer near Clutha River mouth (but samples may have included <i>S. antipodum</i>).  More data needed.
