A sardine is a baby pilchard.



Sardines, or pilchards, are several types of small, oily fish related to herrings, family Clupeidae.Sardines were named after the Mediterranean island of Sardinia, where they once lived in abundance.
The terms sardine and pilchard are not precise, and the usual meanings vary by region. Britain's Sea Fish Industry Authority for example classifies sardines as young pilchards. One criterion suggests that fish shorter in length than 6 inches (15 cm) are sardines, and larger ones pilchards
