The study of small pelagic fish by hydroacoustic methods in the Mediterranean Sea began Adriatic 1950’s. Since 2009, internationally coordinated, extensive, regular surveys have been conducted framework MEDIAS - International Acoustic Surveys – action, under EU Data Collection Framework, to provide inputs for management pelagics, particularly European anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) and sardin...

Anisakiasis is a fish-borne zoonotic disease. A case of intestinal anisakiasis in a woman who had consumed raw marinated anchovies was reported. The intestinal localization resulted in occlusive acute abdomen which required an emergency surgical treatment. The histological examination of the eosinophilic granuloma removed from the resected colon revealed the presence of larval nematodes of the ...

Fish sauce production is a very long process and there is a great interest in shortening it. Among the different strategies to speed up this process, the addition of external proteases could be a solution. This study focuses on the effect of two commercial enzymes (Protamex and Protex 51FP) on the proteolysis of two fish species traditionally converted into fish sauce: sardine and anchovy, by c...

The recruitment of marine fish populations is a central concern of fisheries scientists. Multiple research pathways have been explored, with emphasis of the causes of mortality affecting principally the early developmental stages of fish life. The small data set presented focuses on a feature often inadequately considered, i.e. the nutritional condition of the breeding parent fishes estimated f...

The Argentine anchovy, Engraulis anchoita, plays a vital role as key prey species for several marine predators in the north Patagonian ecosystem of Atlantic Ocean. Reconstructing length and weight each consumed specimen is essential to provide detailed description trophic ecology top predators. Predictive linear regression equations were calculated stock anchovy estimate parameters length-weigh...
