Highly productive and vulnerable habitats such as maerl crinoid beds are subject to severe impacts from trawling in Mediterranean Sea. One of the most valuable target species that inhabit these is red mullet, Mullus barbatus, which can achieve there optimum feeding conditions based on infauna, provide some Fatty Acids (FAs) Polyunsaturated (PUFAs) essential shaping life history traits growth re...

Hysterothylacium fabri is commonly reported in various Mediterranean fish. However, there no data on the mitochondrial ribosomal RNA (rrnS) gene sequence of H. larvae Sea waters. Therefore, we aimed to reveal molecular characterization based rrnS current study. Firstly, fourth stage were identified at parasitological examination from Mullus barbatus Sea. Morphologically herein also supported by...

Biological invasions may pose a serious threat to ecosystems and economies. In this study, the presence of non-indigenous species Fistularia petimba in Cyprus is documented. A total 76 individuals were collected by bottom trawls trammel nets June 2020, March 2021, August September 2021. Morphometric measurements, meristic counts, sex, stomach content, maturity stages recorded, notes made on len...

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. ...
