For example, the european sprat , Sprattus sprattus , is sometimes marketed as the 'brisling sardine'. Sardines feed almost exclusively on zooplankton , (lit. "animal plankton"), and congregate wherever this is abundant. Typically, sardines are caught with encircling nets , particularly purse seines . Many modifications of encircling nets are used, including traps or fishing weirs . The latter are stationary enclosures composed of stakes into which schools of sardines are diverted as they swim along

124-460: A database of information about fish, calls at least six species pilchards, over a dozen just sardines, and many more with the two basic names qualified by various adjectives.

Sardines are a moderate source (10–19% DV) of the B vitamins , riboflavin and pantothenic acid , and several dietary minerals , including calcium and sodium (18% DV each) (table). A 100 g serving of canned sardines supplies about 7 g combined of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids (USDA source in table). Because they are low in

217-430: Is a reddish-brown colour similar to some varieties of red sardonyx or sardine stone; this word derives from σαρδῖον ( sardĩon ) with a root meaning 'red' and possibly cognate with Sardis , the capital of ancient Lydia (now western Turkey ) where it was obtained.

Sardines are commonly consumed by humans as a source of protein , omega-3 fatty acids , and micronutrients . Sardines may be grilled, pickled, smoked, or preserved in cans. Canned sardines are 67% water, 21% protein, 10% fat , and contain negligible carbohydrates (table). In

310-586: The Italian island of Sardinia , around which sardines were once supposedly abundant. The terms 'sardine' and 'pilchard' are not precise, and what is meant depends on the region. The United Kingdom 's Sea Fish Industry Authority , for example, classifies sardines as young pilchards. One criterion suggests fish shorter in length than 15 cm (6 in) are sardines, and larger fish are pilchards. The FAO / WHO Codex standard for canned sardines cites 21 species that may be classed as sardines. FishBase ,

341-448: The 144 players are now grouped in two sections of 72 players each. One section plays on the first morning and the second afternoon, the other on the first afternoon and second morning.

The last large sardine cannery in

The pilchards were mostly exported to Roman Catholic countries such as Italy and Spain , where they are known as fermades . The chief market for the oil was Bristol , where it was used on machinery. Since 1997, sardines from Cornwall have been sold as 'Cornish sardines', and since March 2010, under EU law, Cornish sardines have Protected Geographical Status .
