European anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) and sardine (Sardina pilchardus) are two of the
most important small pelagic fish species in terms of biomass and commercial interest in the …

In the Northwestern Mediterranean Sea, the European sardine (Sardina pilchardus) and the
European anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) are the most important small pelagic fish in …

Small pelagic fish (SPF) in the western Mediterranean Sea are key elements of the marine
food web and are important in terms of biomass and fisheries catches. Significant declines in …

Climate change often leads to shifts in the distribution of small pelagic fish, likely by
changing the match-mismatch dynamics between these sensitive species within their …

The tapertail anchovy Coilia brachygnathus, a commercially important species mainly
distributed along the mid‐lower Chang‐Jiang basin, is by far the most dominant species in …

Understanding drivers of fish maturity is essential to predict the productivity, stability, and
resiliency of exploited populations. Size at maturity for European sardine (Sardina …

The sustainable exploitation of small pelagic fish populations, characterized by short life
span and early age at first reproduction, is typically more influenced by the success of …

Spawning habitats of cold-water, European small pelagic fishes have shifted poleward in the
last three decades coincident with gradual ocean warming. We predicted present-day …

The ecological and economic relevance of the European sardine (Sardina pilchardus) in the
Adriatic area is well established. High exploitation rates and instability of environmental …

Body condition and reproduction data are broadly used to assess the health status of fish
because of its implications for recruitment and ecosystem structure. Sardina pilchardus is a …
