Benefits
provided by FAO species catalogs
Separate statistics only recorded from Hong Kong, Indonesia and the Philippines (the last two most likely with D. elopsoides also included). Good catches are made in Palk Bay and Gulf of Mannar (southern India) (Samuel, 1968). Caught with gillnets (rolavalai of southern India), also seines. The total catch reported for this species to FAO for 1999 was 47 500 t. The countries with the largest catches were Philippines (24 080 t) and Indonesia (23 420 t).

Brief Summary
provided by FAO species catalogs
Marine,pelagic, mainly inshore fishes;studies on bionomics, general biology, food, breeding, eggs and larvae, juveniles, temperature tolerance of larvae, the gut and seasonal variations in fat content are listed by Whitehead (1973:171), but may equally have referred to D. elopsoides.

Diagnostic Description
provided by FAO species catalogs
Closely resembles D. elopsoides, but body deeper (usually 22 to 29% of standard length), lower gillrakers fewer (19 to 26), branchiostegal rays fewer (12 to 15) and posterior part of scales marked with numerous tiny radiating striae. Black irridescent blue with a shiny gold/brass line below (quickly fading after death); hind margin of tail broadly dark.

Rainbow sardine
provided by wikipedia EN
The rainbow sardine (Dussumieria acuta), also known as common sprat, dwarf round herring, rainbow herring, and sharpnosed sprat, is a bony fish important to aquaculture and commercial fisheries.[1]
Description
The color of the rainbow sardine is iridescent blue with a shiny gold or brass line below, which quickly fades after death; the hind margin of the tail is broadly dark. The fish has a w-shaped pelvic scute; an isthmus tapering evenly forward; and more anal fin rays. There are 14 to 18 anal soft rays. The maximum length recorded is 20 cm.
Distribution and habitat
Marine and estuarine species, the rainbow sardine can be found in Indo-Pacific regions such as the Persian Gulf (and perhaps south to Somalia), Bangladesh, Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka and Malaysia to Indonesia (Kalimantan) and the Philippines. The species now also occurs in the Mediterranean, having invaded as a Lessepsian migrant through the Suez Canal.[2]
