Abstract The European pilchard, Sardina pilchardus, is a key small pelagic fish sustaining Mediterranean ecosystems and fisheries. This study represents the first comprehensive biological and population dynamics assessment of the European pilchard by applying the length‐based spawning potential ratio (LB‐SPR) approach to S.
