Goldstripe Sardinella

Sardinella gibbosa (Bleeker 1849)

Benefits

provided by FAO species catalogs
Since 1972, the catches of this species have been steadily increasing almost every year, reaching a total of 174 770 t in 1995. It is usually caught in association with other species of Sardinella, and probably part of the increase noted in the catches is also due to a better identification of the species when landed. Catches for Sardinella gibbosa are reported to FAO by Indonesia mostly from area 71 but also from area 57 (about 15 000 t in 1995). However, the species is present in most of the markets in southeast Asia. The total catch reported for this species to FAO for 1999 was 183 210 t. The countries with the largest catches were Indonesia (183 210 t).

Diagnostic Description

provided by FAO species catalogs
Body moderately slender, its depth usually 24 to 30% standard length; total number of scutes 32 to 34. Lower gillrakers 45 to 59 (at 6 to 17 cm standard length, not increasing with size of fish after 6 cm standard length). Vertical striae on scales not meeting at centre, numerous small perforations on hind part of scale. A golden midlateral line down flank (at least in Gulf of Thailand); dorsal and caudal fin margins dusky; a dark spot at dorsal fin origin. Can be confused with: Closely resembles S. sindensis (Arabian Sea and the "Gulf"), which has fewer perforations on the scales. Most often confused with S. fimbriata which has fewer scutes (usually 29 to 32) and more qillrakers (54 to 82). Other similar species have fewer scutes or more gillrakers or overlapping scale striae or deeper bodies or no spot at dorsal fin base or caudal tips black (or a combination of some of these features).

Migratory schooling species (Refs. 75154, 127989). Feeds mainly on zooplanktonic copepods and sustained by phytoplankton. Pelagic inshore (Ref. 127989). Occurs in inshore waters of the continental shelf. Infested by the isopod Nerocila phaiopleura (Ref. 124798).

Biology

provided by Fishbase
Forms schools in coastal waters. Adults feed on phytoplankton and zooplankton (crustacean and molluscan larvae) (Ref. 5213, 5284). Juveniles predominantly prefer crustaceans expanding to include phytoplankton in the diet as their length increases (Ref. 34224). Marketed fresh, dried-salted, boiled or made into fish balls. Possible or even probable confusion with other species (especially S. fimbriata in Indian waters) makes published biological data potentially unreliable.

Goldstripe sardinella

provided by wikipedia EN

The goldstripe sardinella (Sardinella gibbosa) is a species of fish of the family Clupeidae. It is native to shallow tropical waters of the western Indo-Pacific, living at depths down to 70 m, and being associated with coral reefs. It grows up to 17 cm in length and forms large schools.

It is an important commercial fish, and is eaten dried, salted, boiled, or made into fish balls.[1]

Reproduction

S. gibbosa have unique eggs because they do not possess a wide perivitelline space (an important aspect to sardinella eggs and most pelagic fish). Some scientists do not consider this species a true member of the Sardinella genus for this reason. The spawning season for these fish ranges from April to October. In this species there is a trend of smaller fish spawning earlier in the spawning season. Peak spawning occurs in June and July and this is followed by the older larger specimens which tend to move into the spawning areas later in the season[2]

Age determination

The determination of age in this species has proved difficult because there are small rings present on the scales called annuli. However, it is very difficult to determine their true cause. These annuli are often interrupted or indented in the patterns on the scales (striae) are often interrupted or indented. The spaces between striae are often lighter in color especially in comparison to the rest of the striated region of the scale. In comparison, salmon and trout form much more distinct annuli according to rings forming closer to one another during different seasons of the year. In essence, the debate is whether these annuli are spawning rings or whether they develop as a result of some unknown cause and unknown time frame. This information is ineffective as a measure of the age of the fish until these issues are cleared and definitive.[2]

Commercial production

Dried Sardinella gibbosa is a favorite especially in Korean markets. These fish are advertised as dried herring in Korea, England, Sweden and Canada. The process by which Vietnamese Gold Stripe Sardinella are made available includes being washed, steamed, sun dried, packed and preserved.[3] These fish are important in fisheries in parts of India and throughout Southeast Asia.[4]

Distinguishing features

The goldstripe sardinella has a relatively slender body, and a below average number of gill rakers, with unique, small perforations on the hind part of their scales along with a dark spot on the dorsal fin.

Distribution

The distribution of S. gibbosa includes the Indo-West Pacific, East African coast, and a range from Madagascar to Indonesia. First recorded in 2008 in the Mediterranean Sea off Israel,[5] it is strongly suspected to be present in other locations due to its resemblance to Sardinella maderensis.[6] S. gibbosa is one of the most abundant Sardinella in Indo West Pacific, and off the coast of Taiwan, Korea and Australia. Fisheries are most prominent in southern parts of India, with markets throughout Southeast Asia [4]
