Abstract
The biology and population analysis of Australian pilchards (Sardinops eopilchardus) was reviewed and studied. The Australian pilchards stock was depleted in South Australia whereas in other states are under-exploited. The population study was done using protein analysis. Six enzymes (PEPB, AH, PGM, EST, MPI and AAT), which showed polymorphism, were scored and used in the population study. For future studies, frozen procedure techniques need to be improved and number of samples collected need to be extended
