New Fisheries-related data from the Mediterranean Sea (April 2015)

Abstract

In this second Collective Article with fisheries-related data from the Mediterranean Sea we present the evaluation of bony structures in aging Barbus tauricus, otolith dimensions-body length relationships for two species (Trachinus draco and Synchiropus phaeton), information on the growth of juvenile Thunnus thynnus and Ruvettus pretiosus, weight-length relationships for three species Aulopus fiamentosus and Tylosurus acus imperialis and data on the feeding habits and reproduction of Aulopus fiamentosus.

Length-weight and length-length relationships of Red Scorpionfish (Scorpaena scrofa L. 1758) from Aegean Sea (Turkey)

“…These are useful tools when evaluating fish species living in both freshwater and marine habitats (Moutopoulos et al, 2013;Cengiz, 2013). There are several studies were conducted about length-length and length-weight relationships marine and freshwater species (Karachle et al, 2015;Tsagarakis et al, 2015;Yılmaz et al, 2015;Bostancı et al, 2017;Saygın et al, 2018;Yedier et al, 2019aYedier et al, , 2019b. In this study, we aimed to determine the LWRs and LLRs of red scorpionfish which sampled from İzmir Bay (Aegean Sea).…”

MERSİN KÖRFEZİ’NDEN YAKALANAN LESEPSİYEN TİMSAH BALIĞININ Champsodon nudivittis (Ogilby, 1895) BOY-AĞIRLIK İLİŞKİSİ

“…Mersin ve İskenderun körfezlerinde birçok deniz balığına ait boy-ağırlık ilişkisi çalışması bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmalar; Pteromylaeus bovinus, Rhinobatos rhinobatos, Torpedo nobiliana, Gymnura altevela, Rhinoptera marginata, Raja clavata, Raja miraletus [8] Dasyatis pastinaca [9] Glaucostegus cemiculus [10] gibi bazı kıkırdaklı balık türlerini, Lagocephalus suezensis [11] Pomadasys stridens [12] gibi bazı lesepsiyen balık türlerini, Chlorophthalmus agassizi [13], Hoplostethus mediterraneus [14], Coelorinchus caelorhincus [15] Merluccius merluccius [16], Phycis blennoides [17] gibi bazı derin deniz türlerini, Trachinus draco [18] Lepidotrigla dieuzeidei [19], Serranus hepatus [20] Umbrina cirrosa [21] Argyrosomus regius [22] gibi bazı kıyısal türleri kapsamaktadır.…”

The Relationships of Otolith Dimensions (Length-Breadth) with Weight and Total Length of Greater Forkbeard (Phycis blennoides (Brünnich, 1768)) Captured from northeastern Mediterranean Sea

“…The shape and size of otoliths used to determine the age of fish also provide information about the size of fish in palaeontological samples (Bostanci et al, 2012;Başusta et al, 2013). Knowledge on the relationship between otolith biometry and total fish length is useful as fish size can be estimated from otolith morphometry measured from otoliths come across in predator stomachs and feeding ecology of fishes (Echeverria, 1987;Karachle et al, 2015). This knowledge is important for fish population management plans, prey-predator relationship studies and paleobiological research.…”
