The silver-stripe round herring or slender sprat (Spratelloides gracilis) is a small herring-like forage fish.
They are small fish used as fishing bait, especially in skipjack tuna-fishing. It is valued as food in Japan, where it is known as kibinago. These can be eaten raw, as sashimi, or cooked, as whitebait.
