The Fueguian sprat has a lower jaw slightly projecting, and a gill cover without bony radiating striae.
The last two anal fin rays are not enlarged, and there are no dark spots on the flanks.
It is a schooling species found in coastal waters, and a food item of hakes, sea birds and seals in Patagonian Falkland waters.
Coloration is dark blue dorsally and silvery white laterally and ventrally, and all fins are translucent.
