	<dc:description>Migrates in large schools over great distances along the shore.  Larvae are found in surface waters between 19.6° and 29.8°C with salinities of 28.3 to 37.4 ppt.  Feeds mainly on small fishes (clupeoids and anchovies), few quantities of penaeoid shrimps and cephalopods.  Casting, live-bait fishing, jigging, and drift fishing are also employed in capturing this species.  Aerial spotting is sometimes used in locating the fish.  Marketed fresh, frozen or smoked; eaten pan-fried, broiled and baked.</dc:description>

	<dc:description>Migrates northward from Florida along the Atlantic coast of the USA to Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island bet. Late Feb.-Jul., and back in fall. It overwinters in Florida. There are schools migrating westwards in early spring, reaching Texas in late March. North-south movements along the Mexican coast occur between Aug.-Nov. and back in Mar.-Apr.  Feeds mainly on small fishes (clupeoids and anchovies), few quantities of penaeoid shrimps and cephalopods.  Juveniles have a higher percentage of anchovies in their diet than adults.  Piscivore (Ref. 57616).  Casting, live-bait fishing, jigging, and drift fishing are also employed in capturing this species.  Aerial spotting is sometimes used in locating the fish.</dc:description>
