“…a higher temperature in the warmest season encouraged faster recruit growth in the Licata fishing grounds, whereas the lower exploitation rate in Selinunte favoured retention of larger fish in the fishing grounds. Striped seabream in the Strait of Sicily have a similar mean length-at-age to those reported in the Adriatic Sea and the central-eastern Atlantic (Kraljevic et al, 1995(Kraljevic et al, , 1996Lorenzo et al, 2002;Pajuelo et al, 2002) but very different to those reported in eastern Spain (Suau, 1970) and the Thracian Sea (Kallianiotis et al, 2005). The validation of growth increments within otolith microstructures was not made in this study.…”

“…Older ages were recorded in the northern Adriatic Sea (12 years; Kraljevic et al, 1996), in the Thracian Sea (11 years, Kallianiotis et al, 2005) and southern Portugal (13 years, Abecasis et al, 2008). Striped seabream were recruited from exploited stocks in the Strait of Sicily aged from 1 to 1+ years as in the eastern Spanish coastal waters, but earlier than in the northern Adriatic (3 years) and later than in the Thracian Sea (0+ years) and central-eastern Atlantic Sea (0+ years).…”

Striped seabream Lithognathus mormyrus [n = 1269; total lengths (TLs) = 112-350 mm] were investigated in two coastal Sicilian fishing grounds (central Mediterranean Sea). Samples were collected from the two landing harbours, Licata and Selinunte, between October 1999 and September 2000. Seasonal and spatial variations in population structure, age, growth, reproduction and mortality were studied. It was found that seasonal differences in the main modes of lengthfrequency distributions corresponded well with the seasonal growth. The recruits in Licata grew faster and attained a larger size (by 10-20 mm) at ages up to 2 years than in Selinunte. Growth thereafter was relatively slow, with Selinunte specimens growing at a slightly faster rate. Spawning occurred between June and August. Length at the first maturity was different between females and males in the Selinunte (190-181 mm) and Licata (183-171 mm) fishing grounds. The species displayed protandrous hermaphroditism, and somatic growth practically ceased during the period of sex inversion. Total fishing mortality was considerably higher in Licata (F between 0.53 and 0.63 per year) than in Selinunte (F between 0.22 and 0.29 per year). Therefore it is suggested that the striped seabream population in Licata is more vulnerable to overfishing than that in Selinunte.

“…5; Table 5). While ontogenetic diet shifts in hermaphroditic species have been observed in a variety of habitats (Mullaney 1994, Morato et al 2000, Kallianiotis et al 2005, Kulbicki et al 2005, Osman and Mahmoud 2009) it would appear that more work is needed with respect to diet changes when fish are approaching size at maturity in the initial phase and size at transition to the terminal phase.…”

Background. The spotcheek emperor, Lethrinus rubrioperculatus Sato 1978, is an important component of the mesophotoic coral reef community in the Indo-Pacific Region, where it is a target of commercial fisheries. A diet composition study was undertaken as part of a broader investigation towards elucidation of the biological characteristics of this species in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Micronesia.. Materials and methods.A total of 395 spotcheek emperor stomachs were examined between September 2000 and February 2002 based on a commercial fishery and research cruises. Feeding activity was estimated using indices of vacuity and repletion, diet composition was defined using the Main Food Item (MFI) index, and trophic level was determined using Trophlab. All indices were calculated to observe for patterns demographically, seasonally, ontogenetically and by sex. Results. Total vacuity index (V I ) for fish was 45.8% while inclusion of bait in stomach (BIS) raised V I to 60.5%. The highest V I came from Farallon de Medinilla, with 63% and 73% including BIS. Lowest V I was at Marpi Reef, while Sonome Reef had the largest separation between V I and V I BIS. Repletion indices were greatest in Saipan and Tinian, lowest at Sonome Reef. First quarter year had the highest vacuity and lowest repletion. Repletion increased from the first to fourth quarter while V I did not reveal a pattern. Repletion decreased with size, and V I was highest in the smallest size group. Repletion and V I values were greater in females. MFI results showed fish were the primary prey item at all locations, seasons, and sizes, and in both sexes. Fish increased in diet seasonally. The smallest size group had the highest fish MFI, and the largest size group the lowest. Crustaceans and mollusks were secondary prey items varying by location, season and size. Saipan and Tinian uniquely displayed five prey categories. Overall trophic values were estimated at 4.23 ± 0.73, with a range from 3.96 to 4.46 as estimated by location, season size and sex. Conclusion. Results differed from New Caledonia that reported fish as a secondary food item to crustaceans for spotcheek emperor. In this study mollusks then crustaceans were present as accessory prey items. Demography, ontogeny, and size influenced diet. Estimated trophic levels were indicative of a piscivorous diet, in contrast to the value provided by FishBase. Future work in elucidating observed trends in diet preference for the spotcheek emperor should focus on obtaining a much larger sample size that is more evenly distributed across location, season, size class and sex.

“…The results are presented in Table 2. L. mormyrus is definitely feeding from the soft bottom, including the transport of sediment through its digestive system (Froglia, 1977;Kallianiotis et al, 2005; Tom, personal observations). The TEQ levels of three sediment samples and one fish liver sample obtained by both DR-CALUX and HRGC/HRMS and the comparative results are presented in Table 3.…”
