The aim of this study is to evaluate the availability of salted and fermented fish (SFF) including salted and fermented anchovy (SFA) and shrimp (SFS) as a marinade of beef jerky. In curing solutions, half (SFA 1 and SFS 1) or whole (SFA 2 and SFS 2) salt-water was replaced with SFF juices. Higher water activity (aw) was found in the beef jerky cured with SFFs than the control (C) (p< 0.05). Th...

Recent studies have shown that some clupeid fishes, including shad and menhaden, can detect ultrasound (sound with frequencies higher than 20 kHz) and actively avoid it. However, other clupeids, including sardines and anchovies, do not detect ultrasound. The hearing abilities of herring are of particular interest because of their commercial importance, our reliance on acoustics to monitor their...

The detection and inhibition of Clostridium botulinum by probiotics' cell-free supernatants, as a bio-preservation strategy, were investigated in some Egyptian fish-stuffs i.e., canned sardines, fesikh, moloha, renga, anchovy. conventional multiplex polymerase chain reaction used to detect C. botulinum, while the inhibitory antioxidant capacity four supernatants assessed using disc diffusion as...

Black Sea is one of themost severely degraded and exploited largemarine ecosystems in the world. For the last 50 years after the depletion of large predatory fish stocks, anchovy (with the partial contribution of sprat) has been acting as the main top predator species and experienced a major stock collapse at the end of 1990s. After the collapse, eastern part of the southern Black Sea became th...

Three genera, Engraulis, Sardinops, and Merlucciu have coincident spawning and juvenile brood areas in most eastern and western boundary currents throughout the world. The CalCOFI survey program has amassed a 50-year data series on location and timing of spawning and the resultant recruitment of anchovy, sardine, and hake in the California Current region. Use of existing Lefkovitch matrix popul...

Understanding the ecological and anthropogenic drivers of population dynamics requires detailed studies on habitat selection and spatial distribution. Although small pelagic fish aggregate in large shoals and usually exhibit important spatial structure, their dynamics in time and space remain unpredictable and challenging. In the Gulf of Lions (north-western Mediterranean), sardine and anchovy ...

Size at first sexual maturity (L50) represents an important life history trait in the development of management measures providing fundamental information to avoid exploitation younger individuals. L50 is known display variability due fishing pressure, geographical gradient and environmental features. In this study, order investigate among areas Mediterranean Black Sea, ogives anchovy (Engrauli...

Growth rates of anchovy larvae, Engraulis mordax, reared for 19 days under constant environmental conditions on a diet of laboratory-cultured organisms, exceeded the growth rates of anchovies fed on a diet of wild plankton. The rotifer Brachionus plicatilis was found to be a nutritious food source when fed to the larvae in concentrations of 10 to 20/ml and in combination with the dinoflagellate...
