three mesh sizes of multiflament trammel nets (22 mm, 24 mm, and 26 mm) were used in finike bay for red mullet (mullus barbatus l., 1758). the sampling program was arranged during february to may 2012. holt (1963) method was used for selectivity of trammel nets. red mullet was the dominant species in 22 mm mesh size at 52.86%, followed by 25.7% with the 24 mm net and 21.43% with the 26 mm net. ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects three fresh-water samples with different hardness values (25, 250, and 750 mg L-1 CaCO3) a control (sea water salinity 15% 2500 ± 130.9 on Mugil liza (mullet) juveniles by conducting long-term test (for 50 days). Zootechnical performance [weight gain (WG), feed conversion rate, specific growth survival (%)], stress indicator parameters (glucose)...

Grey Mullet (Mugil cephalus) is an important food fish species in the, Mugilidae which is able to adapt in a wide range of salinities and temperatures and is suitable for introduction of the species to freshwater, brackish, and brine waters for aquaculture. This study was implemented to determine appropriate normative of stocking density and initial weight ofMugil cephalus and also evaluate eff...

The present study revealed that a total of 101 indigenous species large fish (28 species) and Small Indigenous (73 belonging to 63 genera 31 families were observed identified while 17 exotic found under 5 families. Among the species, highest number in family Cyprinidae Bagridae with relative diversity 28.28% 11.11%. In case group richness, 27 catfish followed by 12 carp, 8 each barbs minnows, 6...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the combined effects of thermal acclimation and n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (n-3 HUFA) content of the food source on the aerobic capacities of fish in a thermal changing environment. The model used was the golden grey mullet Liza aurata, a species of high ecological importance in temperate coastal areas. For four months, fish were exposed to tw...

The Brazilian marine fish culture probably began in the seventeenth century, during the Dutch government of Maurice of Nassau, in Pernambuco, when the activity was introduced in the region. At that time, snook (Centropomus sp), mullet ́s (Mugil sp) and “carapebas” (Eugerres sp and Diapterus sp) were cultivated extensively inside tide ponds (Cavalli and Hamilton 2007). According to Brugger (1995)...

The aim of this study was to provide practitioners working with trawl selectivity with general and easily understandable guidelines regarding the fish sampling effort necessary during sea trials. In particular, we focused on how many fish would need to be caught and length measured in a trawl haul in order to assess the selectivity parameters of the trawl at a designated uncertainty level. We a...

The temperature behavior of the natural microflora on the Mediterranean fish red mullet (Mullus barbatus) was examined as a case study. The growth of the spoilage bacteria Pseudomonas spp., Shewanella putrefaciens, Brochothrix thermosphacta, and lactic acid bacteria was modeled as a function of temperature and the concentration of carbon dioxide in modified atmosphere packaging. Combined models...

Freezing is an important strategy to keep fish quality and make the species available whole year. Its effects on nutritional value of 17 were studied in samples entire fish, fillets or pieces. One portion homogenized flesh was analyzed just after purchase (fresh sample). The other packed polyethylene bag, sealed, quick frozen (-80°C), stored properly at -18°C 12 months (frozen Moisture, ash pro...
