Etymology: Engraulis: Greek, eggraulis, -eos = anchovy (Ref. 45335); maeoticus: Named for the antique Meotian people that used to inhabit the banks of the Azov Sea.
Issue
ECoF (as of v. 04 Oct. 2022) keeps Engraulis albidus Borsa, Collet & Durand, 2004 as a separated valid species because the status of types is not explicitly stated in Ref. 126017.
Environment: milieu / Klimaatzone / Diepte / distribution range
Ecologie
marien; brak water pelagic-neritic. Subtropical
Meditteranean: apparently along the shoreline of Camargue in NW Mediterranean Sea; Mauguio, Prevost, and Thau lagoons in southern France; northern Adriatic Sea.

This species is observed in brackish lagoons from the start of spring to the end of summer; leaves the lagoons in autumn to the nearby coastal marine waters (see Ref. 126017:598). It is presumed to spawn in lagoons in the summer (based on the observation of concentrations of small-sized anchovies together with large densities of eggs in the Thau lagoon, southern France, in July and on the presence of sexually mature individuals, 8-9 cm SL, in the Mauguio and Prevost lagoons, southern France, observed as early as May. In the northern Adriatic Sea, it lives at salinities less than 38 psu and depths less than 50 m (Ref. 76782).
