Engraulis

Marine vertebrates, including fishes and elasmobranchs, have low zinc concentrations in tissues (i.e., 6 to 400 mg/kg DW) when compared to marine plants and invertebrates (Eisler 1980, 1981, 1984). Highest concentrations in muscle of marine fishes (20.1 to 25.0 mg/kg FW) were recorded in northern anchovy (Engraulis mordax) and Atlantic menhaden (Brevoortia tyrannus NAS 1979).

While the character of metabolism is greatly influenced by temperature, its rate depends on foraging conditions. In Chapter 2, distinctions were made between the lipid contents of three races of anchovy. Here, the curves in Figure 35 show the rates of lipid accumulation in Engraulis encrasicholus maeoticus, E. e. ponticus and E. e. mediterraneus from the Azov, Black and Mediterranean Seas, respectively. The abundance of zooplankton in the three... 

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.

As a result, the commercial fish catches decreased this especially refers to the planktivorous fishes that are food competitors of M. leidyi such as the anchovy Engraulis encrasicolus ponticus, the Mediterranean horse mackerel Trachurus mediterraneus ponticus, and, to a lesser extent, the sprat Sprattus...
