Habitat and Ecology

Habitat and Ecology
Crenulated Silversides are pelagic-neritic, inhabiting close inshore waters around islands (Ivantsoff and Crowley 1999). They may be taken as forage fish by larger commercial species (Froese and Pauly 2008). Maximum size from collected specimens is 5.7 cm (TL) (Ivantsoff and Crowley 1999).

Justification
Hypoatherina crenolepis is a rare species known only from two localities off Tara and Papatog islands, southwestern Mindanao. Threats to this fish are unknown, except probably from habitat destruction affecting most Atherinids. However, there are not enough data on the population's status as the only known records for this species are from the 1908 collection. It is therefore listed as Data Deficient. The type localities should be revisited to validate and improve information on the population, habitat and ecology of the species. Conservation actions for the species should include catch monitoring and regulation.
