    abstract = {Population structure, age and growth of sardine from the Eastern 
  Black sea coasts of Turkey were examined. A total of 684 <I>Sardina pilchardus</I> 
  (Walbaum, 1792) were sampled between September 2009 and April 2010 from commercial 
  purse-seine fleet operating along coasts of Rize. Total lengths of sardine were 
  ranged between 11.0-17.9 cm and the weights ranged from 10.20-53.64 g regardless 
  the sex. The sex ratio (&#9794;/&#9792;) was found to be 1.14 in favor of males. 
  In ageing, 3 classes (1-3 years) were determined from 86 sardine otoliths. Growth 
  performance of sardine in the Black sea was lower than the other seas.}
