Ecosystem-based fisheries managers are increasingly seeking quantitative and spatially-explicit information on species distributions to assist with the management of aquatic habitats. In this study, we used boosted regression trees (BRT) build distribution models for a highly valued coastal teleost – pink snapper (Sparidae: Chrysophrys auratus) across rocky reefs adjacent Australia's most urban...

the aim of this study was to estimate the influence of selected environmental parameters on the fish larval distribution and abundance between october 2012 and september 2013 in the mangrove estuarine area of marudu bay, sabah, malaysia. fish larvae samples were collected monthly using plankton net of 350 mm of mesh size with a mouth opening of 40.5 cm in diameter through 20 min surface tows. f...

Sparidae family is one of the most important demersal group for Turkish fisheries. When considering importance Turkey fisheries, population parameters Pagellus acarne Risso, 1827 have a many proposition future fisheries studies. Studies biology and this species are very limited in Aegean Sea; therefore we aimed to determine (length-weight relationship, age growth parameters, mortality rates rep...

This study reports the response of snapper Pagrus auratus to the establishment of notake status in a marine reserve around the Poor Knights Islands in northeastern New Zealand. The Poor Knights and 2 reference locations, Cape Brett and the Mokohinau Islands, were sampled biannually for 4 yr using baited underwater video (BUV). Following the implementation of full marine reserve status at the Po...

Pagellus acarne is found in coastal waters worldwide and it includes important species of commercial recreational fisheries. In this study, 16 morphometric variables the sagittal otolith, including six characters, shape indices, four ecomorphological indexes, were investigated for first time among P. stocks collected from Aegean Marmara Seas coasts Turkey. Statistically significant differences ...
