Maturation of the European sardine Sardina pilchardus under experimental conditions strengthens bioenergetic estimate

Abstract: This study aims at (1) experimentally estimating first sexual maturation of the European sardine S. pilchardus, (2) using the results to calibrate existing bioenergetic models. During the 183 days-experiment, fish growth and body condition were assessed by biometry, and gonads were weighed when present. Age, wet weight and total length at first maturity were estimated at 262 days, 10.79 ± 0.75 g, and 11.26 ± 0.21 cm, respectively. Including these traits in biphasic Von Bertalanffy models did not significantly … Show more

“…Several factors contribute to the maturation of sardines, with the inherent qualities of fish and salt playing a significant role. Other factors include temperature, pressing time, and maturation duration [ 7 ]. Additionally, the salting technique causes partial dehydration of the fish, which inhibits enzymatic and microbial activity, giving the product a distinctive taste and consistency [ 8 , 9 ].…”
