Anchovy
An anchovy is a small, common forage fish of the Family (biology), family Engraulidae. Most species are found in marine waters, but several will enter brackish water, and some in South America are restricted to fresh water. More than 140 species are placed in 16 genera; they are found in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans, and in the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. Anchovies are usually classified as oily fish. Taxonomy Anchovies are classified into two subfamilies and 16 genera: * Superfamily Engrauloidea ** Genus †''Clupeopsis'' Casier, 1946 ** Genus †''Monosmilus'' Capobianco et al, 2020 ** Family Engraulidae Theodore Gill, Gill, 1861 *** Subfamily Engraulinae Theodore Gill, Gill, 1861 **** Genus ''Amazonsprattus'' Tyson R.

Engraulis Mordax
The Californian anchovy or northern anchovy (''Engraulis mordax'') is a species of anchovy found in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, ranging from Mexico to British Columbia. It is a small, Clupeoid fish with a large mouth and a long, laterally compressed body, which strongly resembles the European Anchovy (''Engraulis encrasicolus)'' with only slight differences in girth and fin position. They have a euryhaline lifestyle defined by regular migrations between bays and open ocean for both spawning and foraging. Like Pacific sardines (''Sardinops sagax)'', they compose a large fraction of the marine biomass in waters off the west coast of North America, where they are a vital keystone species in coastal pelagic waters. However, they are subject to seasonal boom & bust cycles that are chiefly caused by changes in water temperature and food availability; regularly switching places as the forage fish of prominence with the sardine during years defined by colder water temperatures, which make ...

Engraulis Encrasicolus
The European anchovy (''Engraulis encrasicolus'') is a forage fish somewhat related to the herring. It is a type of anchovy; anchovies are placed in the family Engraulidae. It lives off the coasts of Europe and Africa, including in the Mediterranean Sea, the Black Sea, and the Sea of Azov. It is fished by humans throughout much of its range. Etymology This species can be fished from the shore with simpler gear, such as beach seines, and it has been widely-eaten for millennia. The species has been fished since ancient times. Both the scientific species name, "''Engraulis''" (), and the scientific specific name "''encrasicolus''" () are names from Ancient Greek, meaning "anchovy" and "small fish" respectively and have been given by Linnaeus. The actual name of the fish, anchovy, is a loan word from French. Description It is easily distinguished by its deeply cleft mouth, the angle of the gape being behind the eyes. The pointed snout extends beyond the lower jaw. The fish res ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Engraulis Japonicus
The Japanese anchovy (''Engraulis japonicus'') is a schooling fish of the family Engraulidae. It is common in the Pacific Ocean south from the Sea of Okhotsk, widespread in the Sea of Japan, Yellow Sea, and East China Sea, and near the coasts of Japan. They live up to 2–3 years, similar to European anchovy. They spawn from Taiwan to southern Sakhalin Sakhalin ( rus, Сахали́н, p=səxɐˈlʲin) is an island in Northeast Asia.

Engraulis Ringens
The Peruvian anchoveta (''Engraulis ringens'') is a species of fish of the anchovy family, Engraulidae, from the Southeast Pacific Ocean. It is one of the most commercially important fish species in the world, with annual harvests varying between 3.14 and 8.32 million tonnes from 2010 to 2021. Description Anchoveta were previously thought to eat mostly phytoplankton, small zooplankton, and larvae. However, recent work has shown that anchoveta get most of their energy from larger zooplankton, including macrozooplankton. Krill and large copepods are the most important dietary components. Peruvian anchoveta live for up to 3 years, reaching . They first reproduce at about 1 year age and length, whereas they are harvested as early as 6 months of age and length. Distribution Peruvian anchoveta are found in the southeastern Pacific Ocean off Peru and Chile, and typically found in huge schools within of the coast.

Engraulis Anchoita
The Argentine anchoita (''Engraulis anchoita'') or Argentine anchovy is an anchovy of the genus ''Engraulis'', found in and around waters of Argentina, Uruguay and southern Brazil. Description It grows to SL or TL. Spawning takes place throughout the year but is most intense and close to shore in October/November, and more offshore and less intensely in May/June. Ecology ''Engraulis anchoita'' is a key species in the pelagic ecosystem of the Argentine waters. They are zooplanktivores, and prey especially upon copepod Copepods (; meaning 'oar-feet') are a group of small crustaceans found in nearly every freshwater and saltwater habitat (ecology), habitat.

Engraulis Australis
The Australian anchovy, ''Engraulis australis'', is a species of anchovy of the family Engraulidae, found off south-east Australia, and around New Zealand. The Australian anchovy feeds on plankton and is of minor importance to commercial fisheries Commercial fishing is the activity of catching fish and other seafood for commercial profit, mostly from wild fisheries. It provides a large quantity of food to many countries around the world, but those who practice it as an industry must often p .... It is usually utilized as bait.

Seth Eugene Meek
Seth Eugene Meek (April 1, 1859, Hicksville, Ohio – July 6, 1914, Chicago) was an American ichthyologist at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. He was the first compiler of a book on Mexican freshwater fishes. Together with his assistant, Samuel F. Hildebrand, he produced the first book on the freshwater fishes of Panama. He often collaborated with Charles H. Gilbert, and in 1884 on a collecting trip through the Ozarks, they discovered a new species, '' Etheostoma nianguae'', which only lives in the Osage River basin. Also with them on that excursion was David Starr Jordan, considered the father of modern ichthyology. After the Ozarks trip, Meek accepted the post of professor of biology and geology at Arkansas Industrial University (now the University of Arkansas). Taxon named after him *The American halfbeak was named in his honor ''Hyporhamphus meeki'', as were: *the Mezquital pupfish (''Cyprinodon meeki'') *The firemouth cichlid (''Thorichthys meeki'') * ...
