See Sardinella aurita, from which it differs in having the anterior gillrakers on the lower limbs of the second and third gill arches distinctly curled downward (more or less flat in S. aurita . The pelvic finray count of i 8 distinguishes S. brasiliensis from all other species of Sardinella, also Harengula and Opisthonema. Can be confused with: Resembles Strangomera of Argentina and Chile, but has two fleshy appendages along outer margin of gill opening (smooth in Strangomera ) and numerous fine fronto-parietal striae on top of head.

Coastal,pelagic, schooling. Probably similar to S. aurita, but if indeed this species is distinct from S. aurita then it may account for one of the apparent double spawning peaks of that species.
