Metal and element concentrations (Li, Na, Mg, P, Ca, V, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, As, Se, Rb, Sr, Mo, Pd, Cd, Cs, Ba, Hg, Tl, Pb, U) were monitored in the tissues of sardine (Sardina pilchardus) anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) from six Greek coastal areas subjected to different natural anthropogenic forcings order be assessed as bioindicator species marine metal pollution. Sardine provided a...

In the North-Western Mediterranean Sea (NWMS), changes in size and taxonomic composition of zooplankton have been hypothesized to underlie observed populations Sardina pilchardus, one main small pelagic fish species. The present study was undertaken better understand link between temporal variability diet adult sardine Bay Marseille over a period 16 months by comparing prey stomach content with...

Fish with indeterminate fecundity spawn multiple times throughout a protracted reproductive period. During that period several ovulation events succeed one another, and different oocyte developmental stages co-occur in the ovaries new oocytes consistently recruiting from growth phase to next form sequential batches. In this study, we examined detail recruitment development pattern of batches co...

One of the marketing options for European sardine (Sardina pilchardus), which consumers demand nutritional value and taste, is processing in brine that provides a longer shelf life. However, slow rate salt diffusion biggest obstacle to be overcome. In this context, pulsed electric field method (PEF) considered an innovative accelerates mass transfer. This study applied PEF before while they wer...

Total lipid and phospholipid recovery as well as amino acid quality and composition from cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) and sardine (Sardina pilchardus) were compared. Enzymatic hydrolyses were performed using the three proteases Protamex, Alcalase, and Flavourzyme by the pH-stat method (24 h, pH 8, 50 degrees C). Three fractions were generated: an insoluble sludge, a soluble aqueous phase, and...
