About
Anchovies are small schooling fish whose slender bodies pack into a cup weighing roughly 7.1 ounces (201 g).
With a bulk density of about 0.49 ounces per cubic inch (0.85 g/mL), anchovies pack loosely enough to leave small gaps between their bodies. A full US cup weighs approximately 7.1 ounces (201 g), making them lighter by volume than liquid water or solid canned meats. They take up slightly more space per ounce than blended pastes or pure oils due to those air pockets. These small forage fish primarily inhabit oceans, though some species live in brackish or fresh water.
From Wikipedia
Anchovies are small, common forage fish of the family Engraulidae. Most species are found in marine waters, but several will enter brackish water, and some in South America are restricted to fresh water.
