It is a small fish, up to 8 cm in length, that shoals at the water surface. It feeds on pelagic crustaceans and fish eggs.[2]
This population of sprat has previously been considered either conspecific with Clupeonella abrau that inhabits Lake Abrau, Russia, near the northeastern Black Sea coast, or a distinct subspecies of that species, Clupeonella abrau muhlisi,[3][4] or a population belonging to the more widespread Black Sea sprat (Clupeonella cultriventris).[5]
