California sardine

The fatty acid profile specific to each food item appears in the tissues of the predator whatever food is consumed (Lasker and Theilacker, 1962 Brenner et al., 1963 De Witt, 1963 Kayama et al., 1963 Lovem, 1964 Saddler et al., 1966 Addison etal., 1968 Ratnayake and Ackman, 1979 Bolgova, 1993 and others). The profound influence of food has been demonstrated in many species of marine fish California sardine (Lasker and Theilacker, 1962), Pacific anchovy (Hayashi and Takagi, 1978), Adantic herring (Lovem, 1937, 1964 Ackman and Eaton, 1966, 1976 Henderson and Almater, 1989), Pacific sardine (Takahashi et al.,... 

Data on California sardine, also known as pilchard oil, from the fish Sardinops caerulea, are limited. Japanese sardine oil is obtained from Clupanodon melanostica (Table 3.183) (Ackman and Sipos, 1964 Itoh and Fukuzumi, 1963).

Comparative surveys covering only 3-4 years do not yield firm conclusions, although Shatunovsky (1980) and Siderov (1983) have analysed data from such short-term studies.There are more extensive studies by Lasker (1962, 1970) on the Pacific sardine off California over the period 1932-1956, and comparable long-term work by Smith and Eppley (1982) on the anchovy from the same region, Engraulis ringens.
