Abstract:

  The aim of the present study was to investigate the population dynamics of Liza klunzingeri, in Hormouzgan province waters located in northern coasts of the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea. This study was carried out from October 2007 to September 2008. samples were collected from commercial stake traps. The relationship between weight and fork length was found to be W= 0.0214 F.L2.8233 suggesting that Liza klunzingeri shows isometric growth. Length-based stock assessment using the FiSAT software package showed an asymptotic length (L∞) of 20.3cm FL and growth coefficient of 0.6.yr-1. These results gave a growth performance index (ø) of 2.39. The total mortality coefficient was estimated to be 2.31, a natural mortality of 1.09 and fishing mortality of 1.22. The estimated total mortality which, in relative terms, is considered average (2.31.yr-1), coupled with the currently observed exploitation rate of 0.52 for L. klunzingeri, estimated from the mortality rates, suggested that the species is moderately exploited.

Estimating Growth and Mortality Parameters of Narrow-Barred Spanish Mackerel (Scomberomorus commerson) in the Iranian Waters of the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea

Scombermorus commerson is one of the most important and commercial species in the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea. In order to adopt the responsible fishing patterns, it was necessary to estimate population dynamic parameters. Samples were collected randomly from five major traditional fish-landing sites in Chabahar, Jask, Bandar Abbas, Bandar Lengeh and Parsian in the north of the Persian Gulf ...

Female Reproductive Biology of the Klunzinger\'s Mullet (Liza klunzingeri) in the Persian Gulf and the Oman Sea

Histological changes and maturity stages during the reproductive cycle of the ovaries of Klunzinger's Mullet (Liza klunzingeri) were investigated. The evaluation of the spawning season was carried out based on monthly samples from 3 stations in the Persian Gulf and the Oman Sea. Sex ratio was approximately 1:3 (M: F). The maturity stages of female L. Kluningeri are: Virgin, Developing Virgin, D...
