I'm not sure what to call this fish. Iwashi is sardine, but the sentence is:
ナポリピッツァのトッピングやソースマリナーラに使うイワシの稚魚、スペイン料理のオイル煮にする鰻の稚魚のような小魚だが、。。。
However, I don't believe that (and can't find anything in google about) pizza napolitana and marinara sauce have sardine, and they don't even use anchovy.
Any help in figuring out what to call this little fishy would be appreciated.

anchovy
I had looked up some Japanese sight, some shop in Japan use anchovy for Pizza Capricciosa, Marinara (we love fish!) and they call them "Napoli Pizza!".
Also, in the sentence you gave, it said 鰻の稚魚のような. I had wondered whether the writer had mixed the words up... Both いわしの稚魚 and うなぎの稚魚is called SHIRASU しらす（ちりめんじゃこ） in Japanese but in Spanish dish, うなぎの稚魚 is baby eel (Angulas) so I am not sure which one goes with the text but hope it helped!

Sardine Fry
This is probably a sardine fry as anchovies are specifically referred to in Japanese as anchovies. But I have included the following to clarify what a sardine is...
For you information:
A sardine can be almost any small, fatty fish, but most often is related to the herring ... in Scotland are the sprat or brisling (both Clupea sprattus); in Spain and the Mediterranean, it's the round sardinella (Sardinella aurita); in Norway, it's a sild (any of several species of small herring); and in England and much of the rest of Europe, the young of the pilchard (Sardina pilchardus) ... in North America, cans juvenile Clupea harengus, otherwise known as Atlantic herring.
Anchovy and sardine both belong to the herring family. Sardine is not a name for one fish but a collective term for a number of small soft-boned species in the herring family. The word sardine came from the original canning of the small fish in Sardinia. Anchovies are usually smaller than sardines and also different in their jaw structure. The lower jaw of sardine protrudes farther out than the upper jaw. This is reverse for the anchovy.
I hope this doesn't confuse you too much.

"baby sardines" or neonata
neonata --baby sardines (a few days old) served as a sauce or fried.
from a Sicilian food gloss at http://www.bestofsicily.com/food.htm#n
Googling for "baby sardines" OR neonata with pizza, etc. does turn up some hits, even in Italian.
HTH a little...
