in the present study common kilka from guilan province coastal area (port of anzali) and fish meal produced from it, have been examined to investigate the type and amount of polyaromatic hydrocarbons (pahs). bio monitoring is very important because these pollutants are carcinogenic and mutagenic compounds, if they enter human food chain. sampling process was completed in anzali fishing port. fo...

Physicochemical properties of surimi and kamaboko obtained of solubility in acid, alkaline and conventional methods were compared. The results indicated that the highest protein recovery was related to solubility in acid, alkaline and conventional methods, respectively. The highest removal of lipid and myoglobin was observed by solubility in alkali. Excretion of total pigment and sulfhydryl gro...

Fish Protein Concentrate (FPC) is a healthy, sustainable and high nutritive product that produced from fish and protein and other nutrients are more concentrated than in the fresh fish. The aim of this research is to study the sustainability of FPC produced from Kilka (combination of three Caspian Sea Kilka species, Clupeonella engrauliformis, C. grimmi and C. cultriventris which were not ident...

the aim of this study was to determine the fatty acid and mineral composition in bone of 3 pelagic fish: gold stripe sardine (sardinella gibbosa), anchovy kilka (clupeonella engrauliformis) and indian anchovy (stolephorus indicus). fatty acid profiles showed that total saturated fatty acid have no significant differences in 3 species. the content of total mono saturated fatty acids in anchovy k...

background: the presence of heavy metals in the environment could constitute a hazard to food security and public health. these can be accumulated in aquatic animals such as fish. canned fish is consumed regularly in many countries. in this study, the levels of heavy metals cu, ni, fe and cr were evaluated in commercial canned fish products that are commonly consumed in iran. the canned fish st...

The present study considered the situation of kilka stocks in last decades by using overfished biomass threshold, fishing effort ratio and fishing mortality proxy during 1991-2010. The CPUE index of anchovy and mixed-species of kilka indicated an undepleted from 1991 to 2000. In 2000, the CPUE ratio declined to close to the “in danger” region, and subsequently collapsed to “overfished” region f...

Abstract The biochemical composition of the muscles two fish species, European smelt Osmerus eperlanus and Common (Caspian) kilka Clupeonella cultriventris , that were successively invaded naturalized in Rybinsk Reservoir second half 20th century, differs significantly fatty acid content. sum content (mg/g) eicosapentaenoic (20:5n-3) docosahexaenoic (22:6n-3) polyunsaturated acids muscle tissue...

  The aim of the present study was to investigate the age structure, length-weight relationship, sex ratio, sexual maturity stages, growth parameters, natural and fishing mortality coefficients of three species of kilka including common, anchovy and bigeye kilka. The fork length–weight relationship of common, anchovy and bigeye kilka were calculated as W=0.000153 FL2.37, W=0.000349 FL2.18 and W...
