One of the most remarkable types of migration found in animals is diadromy, a life-history behaviour in which individuals move between oceans and freshwater habitats for feeding and reproduction. Diadromous fishes include iconic species such as salmon, eels and shad, and have long fascinated biologists because they undergo extraordinary physiological and behavioural modifications to survive in ...

The consumption of fish provides utilization of proteins of high biological value, certain minerals, and vitamins. Additionally, fish and fish oil are rich sources of omega-3 fatty acids. Sardine (Sardina pilchardus) and salmon (Salmo salar) are fish species rich in omega-3 PUFAs. On the other hand, fish is usually cooked in different ways before consumption and heat treatment can lead to undes...

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...

Apparent digestibility coefficients (ADCs) of dry matter, crude protein, crude lipid, energy, essential amino acids, and fatty acids in extruded pellets containing various fish meals were determined for olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus). Eight extruded pellet diets were prepared to contain different fish meals (herring fish meal, anchovy fish meal, mackerel fish meal, sardine fish meal-A,...

Lombok Strait has abundance of Sardine, Sardinella lemuru, which contains such high amount of omega-3 fatty acid (omega-3). However, the genetic relationship of S. lemuru with other commercial fish rich in omega-3 has not been widely studied yet. Studies on genetic proximity of S. lemuru with the other marine fish using 12S rRNA gene is very important in order to obtain genetic information of t...

In the Pacific Ocean, air and ocean temperatures, atmospheric carbon dioxide, landings of anchovies and sardines, and the productivity of coastal and open ocean ecosystems have varied over periods of about 50 years. In the mid-1970s, the Pacific changed from a cool "anchovy regime" to a warm "sardine regime." A shift back to an anchovy regime occurred in the middle to late 1990s. These large-sc...

Upwelling of nutrient-rich, subsurface water sustains high productivity in the ocean's eastern boundary currents. These ecosystems support a rate of fish harvest nearly 100 times the global mean and account for >20% of the world's marine fish catch. Environmental variability is thought to be the major cause of the decadal-scale biomass fluctuations characteristic of fish populations in these re...

The main scientific goal of COSTAS project is to bring useful knowledge to the understanding of the conditions, which favor the accumulation and transfer of organic and metallic contaminants at the primary trophic levels (autotrophes and hetetrophes), and then within the food web of small pelagic fish (anchovy and sardine) in the Gulf of Lion, Western Mediterranean.

Poisoning from eating clupeoid fishes such as sardines and herrings (Clupeidae) or anchovies (Engaulidae), termed clupeotoxism, is widespread in tropical and subtropical areas of the world but rare. A fatal case occurred in Kaua‘i in 1978 from the consumption of the Marquesan Sardine (Sardinella marquesensis). This species has been replaced in abundance in the Hawaiian Islands by another import...
