abstract:
Specimens of Engraulis encrasicolus (Osteichthyes: Clupeiformes) (Linnaeus 1758) were
collected monthly from the Adriatic purse seine fishery from June to December 2013 in order to study the
reproductive traits and the condition of the population. Temporal trend of gonadosomatic index and
macroscopic examination of the maturity stages of gonads show that the temporal changes in anchovy
condition appear to be related to the sexual cycle. Furthermore, anchovy seems not separate feeding and
reproduction over the time.
