Drawn true: what we verified

This specimen passed a feature-by-feature check against real photographs of adult fish:

  • Very large eye, longer than the snout
  • Golden stripe along the upper flank from the gill cover to the tail base
  • Small dark spot on the rear edge of the gill cover
  • Arched front lateral line with small scutes only on the straight rear part
  • No detached finlets behind the dorsal or anal fin

See the for this specimen. Approved specimens are locked and never redrawn.

How to tell it apart

Round scad (cigar minnow) is slimmer, with a much smaller eye and a detached finlet behind the dorsal and anal fins.

Not to be confused with: Blue runner

Blue runner is deeper-bodied, with a black blotch on the gill cover.
