Aspect: | Sleek and elongate plain silver body, with matching elongated head. Serrated spine and rear "keel" aft dorsal and anal fins. |
Population: | Common, but often mistaken for Cero (q.v.). |
Notable feature: | Looks very much like a Cero (though it can be larger), but is totally devoid of lateral spots. High lateral line abruptly kinks downwards at mid-body length to continue in a centreline position towards the tail. |
Environment: | Open waters. |
Behaviour: | Not too wary, but like Cero will swimm away after a short while. |
