“…Tzeng and Wang (1992) found spawning areas for E. punctifer in a mangrove estuary in Taiwan. Their study gave a ®rst link that the standing stock of E. punctifer is affected not only by the ®shery impact, but also by the human utilisation of the mangrove estuaries and the variation in prey density.…”

“…One of the reasons is the difficulty in identification of gobioid larvae and juveniles, as those of only 13 (Okiyama, 1988;Neira and Misckewicz, 1998;Harada and Suharti, 2000) of more than 140 Indo-Pacific mangrove-inhabiting gobioid species (Collette, 1983;Davis, 1988;Blaber et al, 1989;Blaber and Milton, 1990;Rönnbäck et al, 1999) have been described so far. Accordingly, some researchers (Tzeng and Wang, 1992;Laegdsgaard andJohnson, 1995, 2001) have treated gobioid larvae and juveniles simply as Gobiidae spp. At Sikao Creek, a mangrove estuary in Trang Province, southern Thailand, we have been researching the role of the estuary for fishes since 1998.…”

Juvenile morphology and occurrence patterns of three Butis species (Gobioidei: Eleotridae) in a mangrove estuary, southern Thailand

Juveniles of three eleotrid Butis species (B. butis, B. humeralis, and B. koilomatodon) are described; their occurrence patterns were examined in Sikao Creek, a mangrove estuary located in southern Thailand. Juveniles of each species were distinguished by the following characters: B. butis with no bands on body and pale pelvic fins; B. humeralis with no bands on body and densely pigmented pelvic fins; and B. koilomatodon with 5-6 regular bands on body and a fleshy process (preorbital knob) on the snout. Although B. butis shared the aforementioned characters with B. amboinensis found in the same estuary, the former was distinguished from the latter by having a greater number of pectoral fin rays (18-21 vs. 17) and a deeper caudal peduncle. Distribution patterns of the three Butis species in Sikao Creek were distinguishable from each other. Smaller B. butis [mean ± SD = 22.7 ± 16.9 mm in standard length (SL), n = 32] occurred in the upper reach of the estuary, while larger specimens (52.4 ± 26.2 mm SL, n = 18 and 51.5 ± 29.7 mm SL, n = 10, respectively) were found in the middle and lower reaches and none in the marine area. In B. humeralis and B. koilomatodon, only juveniles were caught except for one adult specimen each. Juveniles (8.9-16.5 mm SL, n = 79) of B. humeralis occurred in the upper and middle reaches and the marine area. B. koilomatodon juveniles (9.9-13.7 mm SL, n = 30) were distributed in all areas from the lower to upper reaches.

“…Marine, fresh-water or brackish fish populations inhabit the majority of the Mediterranean lagoons, which may be resident or migrant. Also, most of these ecosystems play an important role as nurseries for numerous fish species, offering food and shelter to the larval and juvenile stages (Weinstein, 1979;Blader and Blader, 1980;Tzeng and Wang, 1986). Many papers have been published on the influence of gradients of some abiotic parameters (i.e.…”

SUMMARY: The Messolonghi-Etoliko lagoon is one of the largest lagoon system in the northern Mediterranean coast. This area contains six clearly distinct lagoons with different topographic and hydrological features. The fishery landings of the lagoons are based on the ontogenic and seasonal migrations of the species. The total annual fishery landings of the barrier fish traps are estimated as 195 mt and are mainly composed of 16 species belonging to 8 families. Eel (Anguilla anguilla), the four species of Mugilidae (Liza saliens, L. aurata, L. ramada and Mugil cephalus), the two species of Sparidae (Sparus aurata and Diplodus annularis) and one species of Mullidae (Mullus barbatus) represent more than 92% of the total annual landings. The composition of the fishery landings varies between lagoons. The cluster analysis showed three groups of lagoons. The first group comprised lagoons in which the landings were dominated by eel, the second group was dominated by Mugilidae species and S. aurata, and the third by L. ramada and M. cephalus. The diversity index of the fishery landings is fairly constant in time, except for the Etoliko lagoon, where repeated anoxic crises decreased the diversity index value to almost zero in 1992. All the landing series showed a dominant annual cycle. Two seasonal patterns of the fishery landings were observed and linked to the fish spawning behaviour and/or their reaction to environmental forcings. The first one concerns species caught from summer to early autumn and the second pattern concerns species trapped during their autumn to winter offshore migration.Key words: Mediterranean lagoon, fisheries landings, fish diversity, spatial pattern, seasonal fluctuations. RESUMEN: VARIACIONES GEOGRÁFICAS DE LA PRODUCCIÓN PISCÍCOLA DE LA FORMACIÓN DE MARISMAS DE MESOLOGI-ETO-LIKÓ (GRECIA OCCIDENTAL). -La formación de lagunas de Mesologi-Etolikó es una de las reservas naturales marinas más grandes de la franja septentrional del Mediterráneo. Este conjunto está compuesto por seis distintas marismas, con diferentes características topográficas e hidrográficas cada una de ellas. La producción piscícola de las marismas se basa en los movimientos estacionales de las especies hacia el mar. Del estudio del trampeo se concluye que los movimientos migratorios equivalen a 195 toneladas y se componen principalmente de 16 especies las cuales pertenecen a 8 familias: anguila (Anguilla anguilla), cuatro especies de Mugilidae (Liza saliens, L. aurata, L. ramada, y Mugil cephalus), dos especies de Sparidae (Sparus aurata y Diplodus annularis) y una especie de Mullidae (Mullus barbatus). Estas especies representan más del 92% de los desplazaminentos anuales. Estos varían entre las distintas marismas. El análisis cluster distingue tres tipos de marismas. El primer grupo incluye las marismas cuyos movimientos son principalmente de anguila; el segundo grupo de Mugilidae y de S. aurata, y el tercero con movimientos sobre todo de L. ramada y M. cephalus. Los desplazamientos de estas especies presentan un ciclo anual...
