FBname: Freshwater sardinella
Comments: Inhabits lakes.  This is the only species of <i>Sardinella</i> that is apparently found only, or even mainly, in freshwater.  Presumably schooling.  Also caught using ring nets (Ref. 5520).  Mainly caught by gill net, beach seine, ring net and motorized push net (Refs.81494, 80728, 5520). Eaten fresh or dried (Ref. 5517).  Is threatened by overfishing (Ref. 6308).
