description
Bignose Anchovy or Longnose Anchovy. To 17 cm (6.7 in) TL (Robertson and Allen 2002). Bahía Magdalena, southern Baja California (De La Cruz-Agüero et al. 1994) and throughout Gulf of California (Whitehead and Rodríguez-Sánchez in Fischer et al. 1995) to Arica, northern Chile (Sielfeld et al. 2010). Pelagic and nearshore, tolerating some low salinity (Whitehead et al. 1994); depth: 0 – 142 m (466 ft) (min.: Robertson and Allen 2015; max.: Zeballos Flor et al. 1998). The maximum depth of capture was made by bottom trawl and it is possible this species was captured in midwater.
