Some population parameters of the comber, Serranus cabrilla, were presented in this study. From January to December 2018, a total of 1250 samples of Serranus cabrilla (11 ≤ TL ≤ 23.9 cm, 14.34 ≤ TW ≤ 157.7 g), have been studied in the Gulf of Annaba (Eastern coasts of Algeria), based on length-frequency data. FiSAT II software was used for differen...

Individuals of Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus from Lake Volta, Ghana (West Africa), were examined between January and December 2020 for growth, mortality, and exploitation rate using total length measurement. Monthly length-frequency data were collected from 244 samples and analysed using the FiSAT II Tool. The estimated asymptotic total length (L∞),...
Fringescale sardinella is one of the largest fishery resources and has the highest economic value in the Savu Sea. The increasing demand for this fish makes it one of the main fishing targets, which allows overfishing to occur. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the population dynamics of sardinella fringescale through growth and...
Flying fish (Exocoetidae) is one important small pelagic fisheries commodity in border areas of Indonesia and Timor Leste. However, the data of population parameters in Ombai Strait are not yet known, which is important to inform unit stock management and sustainable fisheries. This study aimed to provide information about growth and mortality para...
Blue swimming crab (BSC) (Portunus pelagicus) is the main

occurring in the west monsoon. Increased fishing efforts have reduced
the catch, as indicated by a decrease in the average size of carapace
width. Overfishing might influence the life cycle and population structure of the...
The development of crabs in Cirebon Regency is one of the important indicators in increasing fisheries production, the increase is based on the high market demand for crab commodities, especially kroyo crabs, causing an impact on the crab population. This research was carried out from February 2022 to March 2023 in 3 sub-districts, namely Suranengg...

... Landings of the comber along the Algerian coast are important since the fifties (Dieuzeide et al., 1959) to the current period. Studies on diet (Rachedi et al., 2018) and growth (Rachedi and Dahel, 2019) have been carried out in the Gulf of Annaba from the eastern Algerian coast, but no studies are available from the central region. The species is heavily exploited by trammel nets and bottom trawl in the Bou Ismail Bay. ...

This study was conducted to determine the growth and mortality parameters of the comber Serranus cabrilla (Linnaeus, 1758) in the central region of the Algerian coast. A total of 1568 specimens were collected from January 2016 to April 2018. Total length (TL) varied between 9.3 and 26.2 cm. The maximum total length recorded in the Mediterranean Sea for the species is 26.2 cm (TL max). The von Bertalanffy growth parameters were estimated using ELEFAN I routine in FiSAT II program (L ∞ = 32.80 cm; K = 0.41 yr-1 ; t 0 =-0.39 yr-1) and those related to the length-weight relationship are as follows: W ∞ = 372.15 g; a = 0.012 and b = 2.96 (r 2 = 0.93). Total mortality (Z) and natural mortality (M) coefficients stood at 2.63 yr-1 and 0.43 yr-1 , respectively. The calculated exploitation rate, E = 0.84, indicated that S. cabrilla population is overexploited.
Groupers (Epinephelidae) are ecologically, commercially, and culturally important carnivorous fishes found throughout the world’s tropical, subtropical, and temperate coastal marine waters. Due to various life history traits (e.g., late maturity, sequential hermaphroditism) and behavior (e.g., sedentary, small home ranges) groupers are susceptible to overfishing, including small-scale and recreational fishing (especially spearfishing), and their populations are declining worldwide. The eastern Mediterranean coast, home to some of the world’s longest continuously occupied urban settlements, hosts important but declining grouper populations. This paper investigates how grouper and comber (fishes in the Serranidae family with similar ecology and osteomorphology, but smaller in size) abundance and catch size changed in the eastern Mediterranean from the Middle to Late Holocene, coinciding with early coastal urbanization, by estimating their relative frequency and reconstructing their size. Size reconstructions have been done from a large sample of bones (Number of Identified Specimens = 1851) recovered from Kinet Höyük in Turkey, and Tell Fadous-Kfarabida and Tell el-Burak in Lebanon, habitation sites along the Levantine coast. Our results imply that groupers in the past reached >100 cm more often than is observed today in areas open to commercial fishing. Furthermore, the apparent lack of large groupers by the Hellenistic Period at Kinet Höyük suggests fishing efforts were intense enough to have either had an appreciable effect on the size structure of local grouper populations or brought about a behavioral change to the fishes of moving to deeper waters.
