: Sampling for the present study focused on the European sardine from almost the entire species distribution range. Ethical or government approval, specific permissions or licenses for sample collection were not required for this study, as all specimens were collected as part of routine fishing procedures by fishermen of commercial fleets or scientific research campaigns. Fish are killed during the hauling of fishing gears due to differences in atmospheric pressure and fishing procedures. The experiments were conducted on dead animals, hence, no animal welfare or animal use permits were required for this study. <i>Sardina pilchardus</i> is not an endangered or protected species.
