grey mullet (mugil cephalus) is an important food fish species in the, mugilidae which is able to adapt in a wide range of salinities and temperatures and is suitable for introduction of the species to freshwater, brackish, and brine waters for aquaculture. this study was implemented to determine appropriate normative of stocking density and initial weight ofmugil cephalus and also evaluate eff...

Population structure, growth, length-weight relationship and reproduction characteristics of leaping grey mullet (Liza saliens (Risso, 1810) were investigated in Beymelek Lagoon from February 2006 to January 2007.  During the study, a total of 1248 leaping grey mullet were captured by gill- and trammel nets of various mesh sizes. Male to female ratio for leaping grey mullet population in Beymel...

 The paper focuses on some of the biological characteristics of golden grey mullet, Liza aurata in Iranian waters of the Caspian Sea. Samples of commercial catch of mullet obtained by means of beach seine fishing cooperatives along the Iranian coasts of Caspian Sea (2007-2008) as monthly interval. Samples subjected to biometric measurement to specify their biological characteristics. The male/f...

Pesticides are used extensively in agricultural lands in Northern provinces of Iran which makes river ecosystems more vulnerable to pesticides pollution. This study was conducted in three river estuaries (Babolrud, Tajanrud and Gorganrud), focusing mainly on the concentration levels of organophosphate pesticides (diazinon, malathion, azinphos-methyl) in the muscle tissue of golden mullet fish, ...

This study was carried out between September 2020 and March 2021 to determine the selectivity of monofilament gillnets used in pearl mullet, Alburnus tarichi (Güldenstädt, 1814), fishing Lake Van. The SELECT method applied selectivity. best model for mullet determined as log-normal model. optimum catch lengths with 20, 22 24 mm mesh sizes were calculated 21.69 cm, 23.84 cm 26.01 respectively. C...

The catch composition of bottom trawls is commonly refined and improved through changes in codend design. Measures like reducing the number meshes circumference or turning diamond netting by 90 degrees are well known to improve size selectivity fish species with rounded cross-sectional shape. Based on this we speculated whether same measures, if applied other parts a trawl, would provide simila...
