In this study, changes in some quality parameters of fish chips produced from sand smelt (Atherina boyeri, RISSO 1810) during storage period (at -18  o C for 6 months) were determined.  The difference between the amount of moisture, crude protein, crude fat and crude ash components of raw fish in fish chips was significant (P < 0.05). Pre-frying  process resulted in a decrease in all fatty acid...

In this study, otolith morphology and otolith contour from big-scale sand smelt, Atherina boyeri were analyzed in Lake Eğirdir and Lake İznik (natural lakes), and Hirfanlı Dam Lake (artificial lake). The otolith contour and sixteen otolith morphological characters such as width, depth, shape, sulcus acusticus shape, ostium, cauda, rostrum size-shape, and thickness, antirostrum size-shape, and t...

Eustrongylides spp. are cosmopolitan parasitic nematodes with several freshwater fish species as intermediate or paratenic hosts, rarely reported zoonotic agents. This work aims to report, for the first time, occurrence of this parasite in specimens big-scale sand smelt (Atherina boyeri) caught lake Massaciuccoli (Northwest Tuscany, Italy). Totally 3317 A. boyeri were collected three different ...
