“…The estimated b values of the regression for all species were within the range (2.5 to 3.5) recommended by Carlander (1969) and Froese (1998 Kulbicki, & Labrosse, 1998;Sandhya & Shameem, 2003;Wang et al, 2016 its in all species were well within the range and overlapped with the Bayesian confidence limits in FishBase (Froese & Pauly, 2017).…”

“…For, Valamugil speigleri , no information on LWR was available in FishBase (Froese & Pauly, ). Similarly, the lengths range i.e., maximum lengths recorded during present estimates (54.2 cm for P. macrolepis , 25.3 cm for C. parsia and 31.3 cm for O. cunnesius ) found larger than the lengths already reported for LWR estimates from various water bodies (van der Elst, ; Guino‐o, ; Harrison, ; Hussain, Paperno, & Khatoon, ; Kulbicki, Guillemot, & Amand, ; Letourneur, Kulbicki, & Labrosse, ; Sandhya & Shameem, ; Wang et al., ). Earlier reported maximum length in LWR estimates for P. macrolepis was only 32.2 cm SL, whereas the same for O. cunnesius was 25.5 cm SL reported by Harrison () from South African estuaries.…”

Summary Current study provides information on Length–weight relationship (LWR) of four fish species of family Mugilidae i.e., Planiliza macrolepis (Smith, 1846), Chelon parsia (Hamilton, 1822), Osteomugil cunnesius (Valenciennes, 1836) and Valamugil speigleri (Bleeker, 1858) from Chilika Lagoon, East coast of India. Samples were collected during monsoon (July 2016), winter (November 2016) and summer (April 2017) seasons from the fisher's boats inside the lagoon while fishing with screen barrier nets (mesh size 18‐38 mm) and gill nets (mesh size 34, 38, 46, 62 and 86 mm). The b values were determined from the data set in LWRs as 2.958 for P. macrolepis, 2.952 for O. cunnesius and 2.919 for C. parsia and 2.883 for V. peigleri. In all species, regression values were statistically significant (p < .05).

“…Thus, small variations in the distinction between the measured and predicted values or those presented here vs. literature might be influenced by several factors, including the number of sampled specimens, gonad maturity, sex, and growth phase (Froese 2006). The variations in b values, compared with the available records, may be influenced by habitat type (Ruiz-Campos et al 2010), food availability, condition factor (Froese et al 2011), formalin effects on specimens (Teixeira de Mello et al 2011) or other uncontrolled factors such as seasons or extreme environments (Costa et al 2014, Wang et al 2016. Therefore, the relative growth parameters allow determining whether somatic growth is isometric or allometric (Araújo and Vicentini 2001).…”

Small-scale fisheries in Brazil contribute to a significant share of total fish production, accessing a large variety of species. Life history parameters from these resources are important for their management and conservation, based on primary data. The objective of this article is to generate growth parameters and mortality rates of ten fish populations from a coastal zone in Southeastern Brazil. Monthly samples were taken between January 2011 and November 2014 from landings of the beach-seine fishery in an area adjacent to the entrance of the Guanabara Bay. All fishes were measured (total length) and weighed. The length-weight relationships (LWR) were estimated by linear regression analysis on log-transformed data of the equation: W = aLb. The Von Bertalanffy Growth Function (VBGF) was fitted to size-at-age data to obtain growth parameters (K, L∞). The length-converted catch curve was used for estimating the instantaneous total mortality (Z). Taylor’s equations provided an independent estimate of the natural mortality (M) and longevity. The difference between Z and M derived Fishing mortality (F). A total of 2,938 individuals from ten fish species were used to determine the length-weight relationships. Harengulaclupeola (Cuvier, 1829) has a new maximum length record for the FishBase LWR database. Sardinellabrasiliensis (Steindachner, 1879) presented the smallest and largest size recorded for LWR observed in the literature and FishBase database. Upeneusparvus showed the greatest total length, while Trichiuruslepturus Linnaeus, 1758, Orthopristisruber (Cuvier, 1830) and Dactylopterusvolitans (Linnaeus, 1758) presented the smallest sizes for LWR in FishBase. The other species showed parameters within the expected values for each group. The performance index combining information from K and L∞ presented values between 2.32 and 3.76 and were considered appropriate for the populations evaluated. Fishing was the primary source of mortality for Caranxcrysos (Mitchill, 1815), Eucinostomusargenteus Baird & Girard, 1855, S.brasiliensis and U.parvus, and less important for Cynoscionjamaicensis (Vaillant & Bocourt, 1883), D.volitans, O.ruber, Selenesetapinnis (Mitchill, 1815), T.lepturus and H.clupeola. The parameters generated may be used for the management and conservation of the species’ stocks.

Fin‐spines attachment, a novel external attachment method for the ultrasonic transmitters on hard fin‐spines fish (Sparidae)

et al. 2020

The purpose of this study was to develop a novel method for the external attachment of ultrasonic transmitters on hard fin‐spines fish (Sparidae). Acanthopagrus latus, one of the main stocking Sparidae fishes in the northern South China Sea, was employed to conduct the 40‐day tank experiment by using dummy ultrasonic transmitters. The experiment consisted of 3 treatment groups, i.e., drilling on dorsal fin‐spine (DD) group, drilling on anal fin‐spine (DA) group, and control (C) group, with each group having 3 replicates and 30 fish per replicate. The feasibilities of DD and DA for the external attachment of ultrasonic transmitters were tested and evaluated using parameters: the specific growth rate, survival rate, and tag retention rate of each group. And the tagging procedures for the external attachment of hard fin‐spines fish were also proposed. The results showed that there were no significant differences in the specific growth rate of fish between groups. Both the survival rates of DD group (96.67%) and DA group (94.44%) were less (but not significant) than C group (97.78%), while the tag retention rate of DA group (100%) was higher (but not significant) than DD group (98.89%). These results demonstrate that drilling on dorsal or anal fin‐spines is feasible as an external attachment method of ultrasonic transmitters on Sparidae fishes. In addition, considering the friction between the tagged transmitters and rocks at the bottom of natural waters, which possibly affect the fish behaviors such as swimming, feeding, etc., or lead to tag loss, so drilling on the dorsal fin‐spine is preferred for rocky‐bottom Sparidae fishes like A. latus as small as 14 cm body length.
