“…Another source of variation that may produce differences between otoliths is the presence of irregularities in the anterior region of otoliths. Some species as fish mullets show large variation in the dorso-anterior borders of the otoliths, which is a great source of variation (Ibáñez, 2016); nevertheless, the three species studied here do not show any variation in the borders but differences in relative growth is clear. The overall data collected in this study indicate that variability in otolith's shape can be added to the characteristics features of each species.…”

Fish otoliths morphology is an important aid in taxonomic, phylogenetic, palaeoichthyological and dietary studies. This study compares the morphology of the otoliths of the myctophid species, Ceratoscopelus maderensis, and two phosichthyid species, Vinciguerria attenuata and V. poweriae, collected from the Strait of Messina in the central Mediterranean Sea to identify the most appropriate taxonomical characters that separate these species. Ontogenetic changes in the otoliths of the studied fishes are evident. The sagitta of the juvenile C. maderensis is the most similar to the adult otoliths, while otoliths of the juvenile V. poweriae are the least similar to the adult otoliths. A discussion on possible geographical variations in otolith's morphology is provided by comparing our results with sagitta's images of C. maderensis, V. attenuata and V. poweriae in other studies.

“…One of the main assumptions of otolith chemistry as a method for studying population structure is that fish of similar age must be compared (or the same life stage between sites) (Campana, 2014). Due to the difficulty presented in age reading of some specimens, mainly in those caught in tropical areas (Ibáñez, 2016), the age of the fish could not be determined. This issue was solved by using a narrow size range and collecting the samples in a reduced time window, as it was previously done by other authors ( e.g ., Callicó Fortunato et al ., 2017a, 2017b; Chittaro et al ., 2006; Döring et al ., 2019; Edmonds et al ., 1999; Gillanders et al ., 2001; Lemos et al ., 2017; Turan, 2006).…”

Moreover, several authors have indicated that TL is a useful estimator of age for M. curema , especially in environments where there is low seasonal heterogeneity (mainly temperature) (Ibáñez, 2016; Ibañez Aguirre et al ., 1999; Ibáñez Aguirre & Gallardo‐Cabello, 2004; Ibañez & Gallardo, 1996).…”

This short review compiles the data concerning the quality of flesh, processed roe and smoked fillets of grey mullets (Mugilidae), including when available the data concerning the fish from freshwater and in particular those from Tunisian reservoirs. The biochemical and mineral composition of the fish, the nutritional benefits and the potential health risks related to the consumption of fish products are discussed with regard to human health, taking into consideration the nutritional recommendations and normative toxicological limits defined by leading health authorities. Flesh proximal compositions of fish from freshwater are relatively scarce, but the few available lipid data are within the very large proximal range (from less than 1% to more than 11%) reported for grey mullets in general. Most of the studies reveal the predominance of unsaturated fatty acids with a substantial proportion ω3 type not only for fish from marine environment but also for those from freshwater. Flesh constitutes a source of essential amino acids and mineral nutrients too. The mullets are generally reported to be safe for human consumption except the fish from heavily contaminated zones. Globally, it should be regarded as an interesting contribution to a healthy diet. The mullets are also greatly appreciated for the production of salted and dried roe as well as smoked fillets, which allow increasing their economic value while preserving products health beneficial attributes. Data concerning processing mullet's roe from freshwater are missing, but it may be supposed that these roes have acceptable texture, taste and flavour as they are highly sought by connoisseurs. It is recommended to perform studies on the qualities of freshwater mullet's roe and to look for labelling the origin for both the roes and the smoked fillets of mullet from Tunisian reservoirs dedicated to the production of drinking water as it would guarantee that the fish come from unpolluted environments.
