To investigate changes of components in salt-fermented northern sand lance, Ammodytes personatus sauce during fermentation, various chemical properties were examined at 1$\~$3 months intervals during 18 months fermentation. The moisture content decreased slightly, but the content of VBN and crude protein, total nitrogen, amino nitrogen, degree of hydrolysis, and absorbance at 453 nm increased gradually during fermentation. On the other hand, ash content, pH, and salinity showed almost no change. The contents of total nitrogen, amino nitrogen, and degree of hydrolysis increased sharply until 6$\~$8 months fermentation and showed the gentle increment after that, The Hx and uric acid were the most abundant in ATP related compounds, ranging from $83.1\%$ to $92.9\%$, After 18 month of fermentation, sauce was rich in free amino acids, such as glutamic acid, alanine, Iysine, leucine, isoleucine, valine, aspartic acid in that order.

To investigate difference of component changes in salt-fermented spring (SAS) and autumn (AAS) anchovy, Engraulis japonicus sauce during fermentation, various chemical properties were examined at $1.5\sim3$ months intervals during 18 months fermentation, The contents of total and amino nitrogen were higher in SAS than in AAS until 15.7 and 17.4 months fermentation, respectively, but there were no difference after that. The cross point of inosine (HxR) + hypoxanthine (Hx) and uric acid was faster in SAS with 10.6 months fermentation than in AAS with 11.5 months fermentation, After 18 months of fermentation, the SAS was rich in free amino acids, such as glutamic acid, alanine, aspartic acid, valine, lysine in that order, On the other hand, the AAS was rich in free amino acids, such as glutamic acid, leucine, alanine, lysine, isoleucine in that order. Absorbance at 453 nm were higher in SAS than in AAS, and increased gradually during fermentation.
