“…Sizes at 50% maturity of T. mediterraneus in the Sea of Marmara were found to be 12.2 and 12.5 cm TL for females and males, respectively. Our results were compatible with the results from the Black Sea by Pora (1979: 11.8 cm fork length). On the other hand, our results showed significant differences from the results of the studies performed in the Mediterranean Sea.…”

“…Previously, limited fecundity data were available for T. mediterraneus in the Mediterranean basin. Pora (1979) reported batch fecundity values between 2369 and 46,200 eggs for fish ranging from 11.8–19.5 cm fork length caught in the Black Sea. We found batch fecundity to be 1058–28116 eggs for fish ranging in total length from 13.5 cm to 19.4 cm that refers to an almost similar size-range but lower fecundity compared to that study.…”

“…Many studies have examined the population, stock structure and reproductive biology of this species along the Turkish Black Sea coast (Ünlüata et al , 1996; Turan, 2004; Bektaş & Beldüz, 2008). Previous reports on this species also include one on the fecundity and Black Sea spawning ground for the Black Sea stock (Pora, 1979), one identification of the histomorphology of ovaries in fish caught in Egyptian waters (El-Gharabawy & Abdel-Aziz, 1988) and one description of ovarian development in the Bay of Biscay (Viette et al, 1997). Detailed studies of the reproductive biology and strategy of T. mediterraneus in the eastern Mediterranean were undertaken in the Saronikos Gulf (Karlou-Riga, 1995).…”

The reproductive biology of Mediterranean horse mackerel Trachurus mediterraneus was investigated in the Sea of Marmara over a one-year period. Duration and timing of the spawning season, gonad histology, oocyte development and size at sexual maturity were determined. The presence of all stages of oocytes without any distinct size hiatus indicated that oocyte development of Mediterranean horse mackerel is asynchronous with indeterminate fecundity. Spawning starts in May, peaks in July–August and ends in September. Sizes at 50% maturity were found to be 12.2 and 12.5 cm (total length) for females and males, respectively. Mean batch fecundity was calculated as 10136 ± 703 eggs. Our results on the size at sexual maturity and batch fecundity for the Sea of Marmara differed significantly from published results from the Mediterranean Sea. We ascribe these differences to different stock structures in these seas. Our results form the basis for future reproductive biology studies on the under-studied Marmara–Black Sea stock.
