Short description Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría

Espinas dorsales (total) : 0; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 13 - 16; Espinas anales: 0; Radios blandos anales: 13 - 18. Hardly differs from European anchovy (see E. encrasicolus) and can be identified from that description. Differs from Atlantic species of Anchoviella by its much longer pseudobranch (more than eye diameter and reaching onto inner face of operculum); differs from Atlantic species of Anchoa in its short and blunt-tipped maxilla (cf. pointed and reaching onto pre-operculum or beyond) (Ref. 189).

Common in shallow sheltered waters like harbors, etc., forming compact schools. Spawning peak is in July or August. Eggs are ellipsoidal (Ref. 189).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 4.6 - 20.6, mean 6.6 °C (based on 137 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5020 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00457 (0.00213 - 0.00980), b=3.12 (2.95 - 3.29), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 3.0 ±0.1 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resiliencia (Ref. 120179): Alto, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo inferior a 15 meses (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Medium.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 364 [152, 917] mg/100g; Iron = 1.51 [0.70, 3.62] mg/100g; Protein = 17.9 [16.6, 19.3] %; Omega3 = 0.607 [0.318, 1.190] g/100g; Selenium = 42.9 [17.5, 109.5] μg/100g; VitaminA = 22.7 [4.7, 103.7] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.71 [1.03, 2.85] mg/100g (wet weight);
