Comments: Specimens captured in a drift gillnet by a local fisher in the Babuyan Channel off of Santa Ana (18°30' N; 122°8' E), Cagayan Province, Philippines (Fig. 1), on 18 December 2010. Oceanographic data and life-history experiments support the working hypothesis that this species was able to cross the Luzon Strait perhaps using the Taiwanese, Batanes and Babuyan Islands as stepping stones; however, it is unclear if the species originated in the Philippines and spread to Taiwan, or originated in Taiwan and moved to the Philippines (Ref. 89007). May have split from Sardinella tawilis in the late Pleistocene based on DNA analyses (Ref. 108843).
