Biology and Fisheries
The biology and ecology of the blackfin scad are poorly studied, although the diet of the species is known. The species is a planktivorous predator, consuming a variety of pelagic shrimps, prawns and copepods.
The species is caught mainly by hook and line methods but is not considered a major commercial species in any regions. Despite this, the fish is highly esteemed in Cambodia and Thailand, where it is fried, steamed or baked. It may also be salted or dried.
