“…Thus, it can be concluded that the increase in length has a significant effect on the increase in weight. Similarly, Sunarni et al (2019) also found that female B. pectinirostris has positive allometric growth patterns with determination coefficient value of (R 2 = 0.9796-0.9784), where there was a strong correlation between the length and the weight of B. pectinirostris. Positive allometric growth of mudskipper was also found in male P. barbarous (Indarjo et al 2020), P. argentilineatus and P. spilotus (Khaironizam and Norma-Rashid 2002), and P. crysospilos (Abdullah and Zain 2019).…”

“…The negative allometric growth of P. papilio is shown that the body length grows faster than the body weight, resulting in more flattened mudskipper (Moslen and Daka 2017). In addition, Sunarni et al (2019) revealed that negative allometric growth is influenced by the mudskipper swimming activity, thereby causing absorption of nutrients to reduce body weight. According to Ridho et al (2019) and Akinrotimi et al (2019) mudskipper do not grow in the same proportion, where the increase in length is faster than that in weight.…”

“…Mahadevan and Ravi (2015) found that mudskipper can survive within a range of 23.5-35.3 o C of temperature, 24.4-34.4 psu of salinity, and 3.8-8.17 mg/L pH. On the other hand, previous studies showed that the length-weight relationship of male mudskipper B. pectinirostris presented negative allometric growth (b<3), but positive allometric growth (b>3) for females (Sunarni et al 2019); P. barbarus showed negative allometric growth (Chukwu and Deekae 2010) and B. boddarti showed isometric growth (Quang 2014). Based on the results of their research, it was revealed that this study is still partially explained about the environmental factors, density, and the length-weight relationships of mudskippers.…”

Abstract. Taniwel D, Leiwakabessy F, Rumahlatu D. 2020. Short Communication: Density and length-weight relationship of mudskipper (Periophthalmus spp.) in the mangrove area of Kairatu Beach, Maluku, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 21: 5465-5473. Mudskippers (genus Periophthalmus) fish species inhabit mudflat, sandy beaches, and mangrove areas. Their daily activities are influenced by tidal rhythms. The aim of this research was to identify the species of mudskipper, their density, and length-weight relationship of more density species in the mangrove area of Kairatu beach, Maluku, Indonesia. This research was conducted from July to August 2018, 3 sampling sites using purposive sampling technique. The physical-chemical parameters of environmental conditions (temperature, dissolved oxygen, salinity, and pH of water) were measured directly on location (in-situ), while the different mudskippers species present in the study sites were identified in the laboratory at the Pattimura University. Quantitative data on population density and length and weight of individuals were obtained for four Periophthalmus species. The physical-chemical parameters of environmental conditions in the three sampling stations were within the range of optimal values previously obtained for mudskipper species. The temperatures ranged from 30.01-30.05 oC, the dissolved oxygen ranged from 7.1-7.5 mg/L, the pH ranged from 7.3-7.5, and the salinity ranged from 5-7 ‰. The four mudskippers species identified in the sampling sites were (in density descending order): Periophthalmus argentilineatus (5.05 ind/m2), P. gracilis (1.5 ind/m2), P. malaccensis (0.4 ind/m2) and P. kalolo (0.3 ind/m2). The results of the regression analysis showed that there was no significant relationship between physical-chemical parameters to mudskipper density. The results of the length-weight relationship of the two most abundant species P. argentilineatus and P. gracilis a negative allometric length-weight relationship (b<3), while the P. kalolo and P. malaccensis indicated a positive allometric growth type (b>3).

“…The frequency of the male fish is distributed at intervals of 8 to 19.99, while the frequency of the female fish is at intervals of 14 to 22.99. Similarly, based on long-class, the male and female fish ranges from 14-16.99 to 20-22.99 (Hui et al 2019;Sunarni et al 2019), which reduced the catch frequency because the fish caught are dominated by small fish that stand are evolving and have not yet reached the adult size. The frequency of male mudskipper (B. dussumieri) has decreased from long class as above from 10 to 11.99 to 14-15.99.…”

Abstract. Ridho MR, Patriono E, Wati DR, Pratama R, Avesena M. 2021. Short Communication: Investigating gonad length and fecundity in mudskippers (Gobiidae) at the Musi River estuary, South Sumatra, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 22: 4413-4420. Information on the biological aspects of mudskipper (Gobiidae) reproduction is needed as a conservation effort to use economically valuable and sustainable resources in the future. This can be used to enrich the information on the status of the mudskipper research at the Musi River estuary, South Sumatra, Indonesia. The field sampling was carried out by using the purposive sampling method. The sampling of fish was carried out by the researchers and assisted by the people of the community using fishing rods and bubu fish traps. The results showed that 122 mudskipper were obtained, which consisted of four species Boleophthalmus boddarti, Boleophthalmus dussumieri, Periophthalmus chrysospilos, Periophthalmodon schlosseri. 93 male and 29 female fish were caught, the sex ratio was 3.20:1. There are more male than female fish overall with the sampling method used. Most of the female fish fecundity was reported in P. chrysospilos, namely 23,270-36,264 items in GM (III) and ranged from 40,825-87,749 items in GM (IV). The largest egg diameter was reported in P. chrysospilos by 0.051-0.069 mm (GML III) and 0.053-0.062 mm (GML IV), while the smallest weight and length were reported in P. chrysospilos than other species. The egg size was not positively correlated with body size.

“…Furthermore, research that has been conducted on the mudskipper has focused on the morphology, identification, and habitat type of the species (Rumahlatu et al 2020, Nugroho et al 2016 and biodiversity and abundance (Mahadevan and Ravi 2015, Maturbongs et al 2018. Specifically, a study on the length-weight relationship of the mudskipper showed that P. argentilineatus and P. gracilis collected from the mangrove of Kairatu Beach, Maluku, Indonesia had a negative allometric length-weight relationship (b < 3) (Taniwel et al 2020), the allometric length-weight relationship of Boleophthalmus pectinirostris (L.) was negative for males (b < 3) and positive for females (b > 3) (Sunarni et al 2019), while Periophthalmus chrysospilos Bleeker exhibited positive allometric growth patterns in Bayan Bay, Penang-Malaysia (Abdullah and Zain 2019), and three species of mudskipper -P. chrysospilos, P. gracilis, and Boleophthalmus boddarti (Pallas) -observed in the mangrove ecosystem of Sembilan, North Sumatera exhibited negative allometric growth patterns (Bidawi et al 2017).…”

The mudskipper is one of the fishes that inhabit mangrove ecosystems. Its growth and distribution is influenced by food sources, tidal action, and environmental factors. The aims of the research were to analyze the growth patterns and condition factors of the mudskipper, Periophthalmus gracilis Eggert, inhabiting mangrove ecosystem rehabilitation areas in Banda Aceh and Aceh Besar, Aceh Province, Indonesia. The research period in these mangrove ecosystems was from August to October 2020. The research was conducted at three sampling stations using the purposive sampling method to determine their location. The mudskippers caught at each station were identified and body length and weight were measured. Physicochemical water parameters were measured directly at the sampling stations to determine the suitability of them for mudskipper growth and occurrence. The mean total lengths (TL) and weights (W) of the mudskipper specimens caught at stations 1, 2, and 3 were 52.0 mm and 6.2 g; 53.5 mm and 6.4 g, and 56.0 mm 6.7 g, respectively. The growth patterns of the mudskippers from the three sampling stations were negative (b < 3), and Fulton’s condition factor (K) exceeded 1. The K value at stations 1, 2, and 3 ranged from 1.28 to 3.62, 1.15 to 3.56, and 1.05 to 3.89, respectively. The relative weights (Wr) at the three stations were 103.8 ± 26.5, 104.3 ± 29.3, and 104.1 ± 28.2, respectively. Wr >100 indicated that there was sufficient food availability, low predator density, and the environment was in equilibrium. Furthermore, physicochemical water parameters at the study stations were suitable and within optimal ranges for the mudskipper. Significant differences in total length were noted among specimens from the three stations (P < 0.05); however, no significant differences in body weight were noted at them (P > 0.05).
