Being a biologically diversed hotspot in the global marine ecosystem, Beibu Gulf is inhabited by high diversity of fish and serves as vital fishing ground China. Due to continuous overfishing, fishery resource has drastically declined Gulf. However, information about ichthyoplankton assemblages this area still lacking. In present study, diversity, spatial temporal distribution patterns, assembl...

Length composition data of narrow-barred Spanish mackerel, Scomberomorus commerson (Lacepede 1800), landed between April 2002 to March 2004, were monthly used to estimate the growth, mortality and exploitation parameters of the stock. Maximum fork length and weight were 170 cm and 38 kg, respectively. Nonlinear least square fitting provided a complete set of von Bertalanffy growth estimates: L&...

this study was conducted to estimating the amount of non-standard sizes (with lengths less than lm50) fishes of shrimp trawls in the hormozgan province coastal water during shrimp fishing season. sampling was carried out using the tabas otriger commercial trawler during 55 hauls. eight commercially valuable species including pampus argenteus, parastromateus niger, plicofollis dussumieri, saurid...

Rapid environmental changes are challenging for endothermic species because they have direct and immediate impacts on their physiology by affecting microclimate fundamental resource availability. Physiological flexibility can compensate certain ecological perturbations, but our basic understanding of how function in a given habitat the extent adaptive scope is limited. Here we studied effect ac...
