Spanish term or phrase: Anchoas saladas, descabezadas y eviscerada, sin panza y sin cola madurada en env
Estoy traduciendo un documento para una pesquera. En la descripción del producto, cuando enumera las características aparece lo siguiente: Anchoas saladas, descabezadas y eviscerada, sin panza y sin cola madurada en envases plásticos.
La primera parte la traduje de la siguiente forma: salted, headed and gutted anchovies. Cómo puedo traducir "sin panza y sin cola madurada en envases plásticos"?
Muchas gracias

salted anchovies, headed and gutted, with the belly and tail removed, cured in plastic containers
Explanation:
"Eviscerada" and "madurada" should be "evisceradas" and "maduradas"; both adjectives must refer to "anchoas".

There are alternatives here. "Headless" is quite commonly used instead of "headed", and "eviscerated" can be used instead of "gutted", but "headed and gutted" (H & G) is a very common term in the fish trade, so I would stay with that.

The "panza" is called the belly of the fish in English. It is not just a redundant repetition of "eviscerada". It means that as well as removing the guts of the fish, they cut off a small amount of flesh at the bottom of the belly, thereby also removing the ventral fin. And "cola" simply means "tail".

"Matured" can certainly be said for "madurada[s]", but "cured" is much more usual. They really mean the same thing. In English "matured" is normally used for anchovies cured in barrels.

Salted, headed, and gutted anchovies, matured in plastic containers with guts and fins removed


Explanation:
Sin panza seems to be a different way of saying eviscerada, so perhaps you could also just say "with fins removed" or "without fins" in the second part of the sentence.
