Description
Habitat
Typically found in water with a depth of 0 to -3,242 meters (0 to -10,636 feet).[4]
Biome: Marine .
Ecology:
The sardine, Sardinella longiceps, is a highly migratory,
schooling
species. This pelagic species is found in the photic
zone at depths of 20–200 m
, along the continental shelf. This
species feeds on phytoplankton
and small crustaceans. It breeds
once a year off the western coast of India, when temperatures
and
salinity
are low during the southwest monsoon months. Spawning
peaks in August to September. This species' population size
is highly erratic and fluctuates annually (Sarman and Udupa 2001).
