This pilot study employs dna barcoding and nutritional analysis to improve traceability of anchovies, suggesting implications for consumer trust.

Anchovies exhibit seasonal variations in nutritional composition, with summer catches having more proteins.
Fish caught in summer show higher total weight and a better edible yield than those caught in winter.
Analysis of fatty acid profiles reveals summer anchovies have greater amounts of polyunsaturated and n-3 fatty acids.
Using dna barcoding, the study enhances traceability and identification of anchovies from the Italian Southern Adriatic Sea.

Virgilio et al. (2025) studied this question.
