Heavy metal accumulation in aquatic organisms has been an important issue due to environmental pollution resulting from anthropogenic activities. In this study, Cr, Mn, Fe, Cu, and Zn in the selected fish species (Mullus barbatus, Solea solea, and Siganus rivulatus) from three consecutive bays (İskenderun, Mersin, and Antalya from North-Eastern Mediterranean Sea) were considered to provide some...

the objectives of this study were to determine the age, growth, mortality and exploitation of a commercially important fish of northeastern mediterranean sea, mullus barbatus from the karatas coast of iskenderun bay during september 2002 and april 2003. a total of 212 specimens of red mullet were collected by monthly sampling using traditional bottom trawl net by commercial vessel (coskun reis,...

population dynamic parameters of red mullet, mullus barbatus (n=592) caught by trawlers operating in arzew gulf (algeria) in the western mediterranean were studied. samples were collected between february 2013 and january 2014. females ranged from 10.9-23.2 cm in total length and 12-149.2 g in weight whereas males length was comprised between 12.6 and 19.7 cm and weight between 21.3 and 99.9 g....

Otoliths are calcium carbonate (CaCO3) accumulations. Under the influence of different ecosystems morphological and chemical composition change. In this study, economically important two demersal fish species; European hake Merluccius merluccius (Linnaeus, 1758) Stripet red mullet (Mullus surmuletus Linnaeus, was examined. (Sagitta) belonging to these species have been studied both chemically m...
