Author: Cervigón, 1982
FBname: Manamo anchovy
Comments: Occurs in large schools together with juvenile <i>Anchovia surinamensis</i> and slightly larger juvenile <i>Lycengraulis batesii</i>, which appear to feed on the <i>Anchoviella</i>.  Mature by about 2 cm SL; a female of 2.5 cm had 157 large eggs in the ovary.  This is evidently a progenetic species (adult at juvenile stage).
