This is one of the greatest fishery resources in the world, yielding an annual catch of about 9 million tons. Life history studies have been made to determine spawning areas, growth rates, and ages of the fish. Environmental factors cause some variability among the taxonomic characters of the anchovy, notably the vertebrae, otoliths, gill rakers, and morphometric features.
