Anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus, L.) is the only European representative of the Engraulidae family and it is an endemic species of the Mediterranean-Atlantic region. It belongs to the group of small pelagic fish, caught along the Mediterranean shores and widely spread in the Adriatic Sea. The migration of anchovies from coastal regions towards open sea waters is related to their age and size, t...

Abstract In general, anchovy is marketed in dried form almost all traditional markets. The quality of fish changes based on space and time. purpose this research to determine the dry salted ( Stolephorus sp .) organoleptic tests formalin content at Sawojajar market. method used a case study. Samples were taken randomly market, then tested Cirebon KIPM Station laboratory. Data analysis was carri...

BACKGROUND There is a need for a reliable and accurate method for quantification of each of the seven individual vitamin B(6) compounds including pyridoxine-β-glucoside in foods. OBJECTIVE To determine pyridoxal (PL), pyridoxamine (PM), pyridoxine (PN), pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP), pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate (PMP), pyridoxine 5'-phosphate (PNP), and pyridoxine-β-glucoside (PNG) in foods. DE...

The objectives of this study are to optimize the conditions for providing high yield of NaCl-tolerant extracellular protease from Virgibacillus sp. SK37 based on a fish-based medium and to investigate the effects of the key factors (mass per volume ratios of dried anchovy, yeast extract and NaCl, and initial pH of the medium) on the secretion pattern of proteases. Based on the predicted respons...

A double parasitism (isopod and copepod) on anchovy fish, Stolephorus commersonii Lacepede, 1803 was recorded from Parangipettai (India) coastal waters during June, 2004. This is the first report from this region and the infestation is discussed in relation to environmental parameters in this short communication.

In many exploited marine fish species, older individuals within cohorts often have slower growth rates at age than their younger counterparts, a process generally attributed to fishing. However, environmental changes might also contribute the selective disappearance of faster growing because increasing constraints acting on in suboptimal environments. Using otoliths anchovy and sardine collecte...

Abstract In the global ocean, more than 380 species are known to ingest microplastics (plastic particles less 5 mm in size), including mid-trophic forage fishes central pelagic food webs. Trophic pathways that bioaccumulate marine webs remain unclear. We assess potential for trophic transfer of through fishes, which prey diverse predators commercial and protected species. Here, we quantify Nort...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the reproduction of three species of kilka, including common, anchovy and bigeye kilka in the southeastern waters of Caspian Sea. This study was conducted during 2010 and 6476 specimens were fortnightly collected from fishing landing site. Body weight and fork length were measured. The samples were dissected and female gonads were weighed. Sexual ...
