During this study from December 2009 to November 2011, 363Deep flounder fish were caught and their weight and length were measured. The caught fish included 18 males, 200 females and 155 immature fishes. The mean, maximum and minimum total lengths were 264 ± 57 (mean ± SD), 415 mm and 115 mm respectively. The mean, maximum, and minimum total weights for this species were 238 ± 150 g, 827 g and ...

Egg production of cultivated broodstocks of orange-spotted grouper, Epinephelus coioides and larvae rearing were surveyed in Iran from 2008 to 2012. . Broodstocks were obtained by rearing of 7 wild juveniles (587.57 ± 132.63 g body weight) which were caught from the north of Persian Gulf in October 2008 and reared to December 2012.. Captured juvenile fishes were fed using defrosted trash fish a...

Mangroves support coastal fisheries, particularly by providing nurseries for juvenile fish. However, much remains unknown about the fish and crustacean communities in mangroves lifecycles behaviours of individual species. This study is first to describe Vanga mangrove ecosystem, largest forest most important marine fisheries landing site southern Kenya. Using fyke nets, 14 creek sites were samp...

The management of reef-associated fish species is challenging due to their life history characteristics and occurrence in rocky reef habitats that are difficult sample using traditional sampling gears. We compared 2 common gears for species, chevron traps underwater video, 5 yr comprehensive paired data (N = 7034) collected at between North Carolina Florida along the southeast United States Atl...

—The mortality of fish captured in fishing tournaments has commonly been estimated incorrectly and, thus far, only one account has presented an estimate of the standard error or confidence interval for tournament-associated mortality. In this article we describe methods for estimating the initial, delayed, and total mortality of tournament-caught fish and provide formulae for estimating the sam...

in this study, the diversity and distribution of economical bony fishes in less-than-ten-meter depths, cpue and population features such as total length, weight and age were investigated in the southern part of the caspian sea in 1385-6. sampling was done in five regions: amir abad, larim, izdeh, kheyroud, and nashtarood with gilnet in mesh sizes of 26, 33, 40, 60, 100, and 150 mm. in total, 22...
