Sardines, or pilchards, are common names used to refer to various small, oily fish within the herring family of Clupeidae. The term ''sardine'' was first used in English during the early 15th century and may come from the Mediterranean island of Sardinia, around which sardines were once abundant.〔(Sardine ) ''Online Etymology Dictionary''. Retrieved 15 April 2012.〕 The terms sardine and pilchard are not precise, and what is meant depends on the region. The United Kingdom's Sea Fish Industry Authority, for example, classifies sardines as young pilchards.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=FAQs )〕 One criterion suggests fish shorter in length than are sardines, and larger ones pilchards. The FAO/WHO Codex standard for canned sardines cites 21 species that may be classed as sardines; FishBase, a comprehensive database of information about fish, calls at least six species "pilchard", over a dozen just "sardine", and many more with the two basic names qualified by various adjectives. ==Genera== Sardines occur in several genera * Genus ''Dussumieria'' * * Rainbow sardine (''Dussumieria acuta'') * * Slender rainbow sardine (''Dussumieria elopsoides'') * Genus ''Escualosa'' * * Slender white sardine (''Escualosa elongata'') * * White sardine (''Escualosa thoracata'') * Genus ''Sardina'' * *European pilchard (true sardine) (''Sardina pilchardus'') * Genus ''Sardinella'' * * Goldstripe sardinella (''Sardinella gibbosa'') * * Indian oil sardine (''Sardinella longiceps'') * * Round sardinella (''Sardinella aurita'') * Genus ''Sardinops'' * * South American pilchard (''Sardinops sagax'') 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sardine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
