ANCHOVY vs SMELT vs SARDINES

Anchovy is distinguished from smelt by the wide mouth and long eyes and relative position of fins with dorsal wholly behind. Anchovy is saltwater fish of the engraulidae family . Smelts (family Osmeridae) are Anadromous fishes means those that spend most of their lives in the sea but migrate to fresh water to spawn. True smelts seldom exceed 14 inches in length and thus classified as small fish. Eperlan, the French word used, is the name for the European smelt (Osmerus eperlanus) of northern European lakes and seas is a true smelt. European smelt is typically 15 to 18 cm long.

Smelts only have one dorsal fin with rays, .The true smelt have a small adipose fin on the dorsal fin,which is absent in silversides but you can also find them on salmon, trout and most catfish, which looks more like a little fleshy nub. March–April the smelt season, in the Russian city of Saint Petersburg, smelt (locally known as koryushka) is known as a special local delicacy, famous for its cucumber smell.

The osmerid smelts are often confused with atherind smelt (silverside family) The silversides and other unrelated fishes are sometimes also called smelts. Smelts are found in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans and in lakes in North America and northern part of Europe.Smelts are not found in Indian Ocean or the southern hemisphere. These fishes are sometimes refrred as whitebaits too. Silvery-green fish, also known as rainbow smelt, are similar in appearance to sardines and anchovies. The silver smelt is silver and grey coloured about 20cm, dark on the back, and clear on the belly. It appears all along Peruvian coast. (Refer Candlefish - Thaleichthys pacificus) found in waters off the American Pacific northwest for its excessive oil content)

The European Anchovy is related to herring and are oily fishes.

📜   Marlin vs Swordfish vs Sailfish

The largest species is the black marlin ,a gamefish that resides in the Pacific and Indian Oceans and the main defining features of a marlin is its dorsal fin. The fin is smaller than the other species of billfish, and connects to the spine along a soft ridge. Their bills are often shorter and more rounded than the bill of a swordfish or a sailfish.

Swordfish are another highly sought after gamefish from the depths. They are easily identified by their dorsal fin, which protrudes up from their spine almost like a shark's. Their bill is also the longest in proportion to their body out of the other billfish.

Sailfish are generally considered the most accessible of the billfish species. They are characterized by a large dorsal "sail" that runs the entire length of their back.

For example Mackerel in Oriya is Bijiram or Binjiram,Sardines in Oriya is Kokili, Cat fish black is Magura and the white one is Kantia in Oriya.River Catfish white is Jalanga.There are many more names The author should have an interactive place to upload local name against each fish.

    Pabda is definitely a different fish, and pabda jhol is a dish..
