Background: Antioxidant activities of plant extracts are being studied to increase the shelf life of fish products. Some plants such as Urtica dioica L. (nettle) can be a good source of antioxidants. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of hydroalcoholic and water extracts of nettle leaf on the chemical properties of superchilled minced meat of the common kilka fish (Clupeone...

  This paper aimed to investigate the fishery and biological characteristics of anchovy Kilka in Iranian waters of the Caspian Sea from 2005-2007, including length and age structure ,Von Bertalanffy growth parameters, length and age at first capture, condition factor, sex ratio, natural and fishing mortality. The examination of catch data approved that Kilka population in the Caspian S...

Age structure of the Caspian Sea anchovy kilka, Clupeonella engrauliformis, was estimated for the first time by back-calculation methods. Otolith growth and the rate of increment in anchovy kilka were examined to determine whether otoliths could be used to back calculate body sizes at various life stages. Sampling was carried out on commercial fishing vessels board along the Iranian coast in 20...

kilka fish are known as the main industrial and pelagic species of iran that are captured abundantly in the southern caspian sea. this study was conducted to survey the effectiveness of refinement steps on kilka (clupeonella delicatula) crude oil quality and fatty acid profiles. neutralization, bleaching, winterization and deodorization were performed on crude oil with deodorization done under ...

Common kilka Clupeonella cultriventris (Nordmann, 1840) is a brackish water and small pelagic fish species and is one of the most abundant fishes that live gregariously in the Caspian Sea. A total of 60 specimens of adult common kilka were sampled from two seasons. Fifteen pairs of microsatellites previously developed for A.sapidissima, C. pallasi, C.harengus, and S. pilchardus were tested for ...

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...
