Diet
Juveniles generally prefer crustaceans, but as their length increases they transition to including phytoplankton in the diet.
Adult fish feed on both phytoplankton and zooplankton (larvae of crustaceans and molluscs).
reproduction
Goldstripe Sardinella spawning season is from April to October.
Spawning peaks in June and July, followed by older, larger individuals that tend to move to spawning grounds later in the season.
They lay single eggs because they do not have a wide perivielline space (an important aspect for sardinella and most pelagic fish eggs).
