three mesh sizes of multiflament trammel nets (22 mm, 24 mm, and 26 mm) were used in finike bay for red mullet (mullus barbatus l., 1758). the sampling program was arranged during february to may 2012. holt (1963) method was used for selectivity of trammel nets. red mullet was the dominant species in 22 mm mesh size at 52.86%, followed by 25.7% with the 24 mm net and 21.43% with the 26 mm net. ...

Mercury (Hg) is one of the main chemicals currently altering Mediterranean ecosystems. Red mullet (Mullus barbatus and M. surmuletus) have been widely used as quantitative bio-indicators of chemical contamination. In this study, we reassess the ability of these species to be used as efficient bio-indicators of Hg contamination by monitoring during 18 months Hg concentrations in muscle tissue of...

the objectives of this study were to determine the age, growth, mortality and exploitation of a commercially important fish of northeastern mediterranean sea, mullus barbatus from the karatas coast of iskenderun bay during september 2002 and april 2003. a total of 212 specimens of red mullet were collected by monthly sampling using traditional bottom trawl net by commercial vessel (coskun reis,...

There is a critical need to simply and reliably monitor brevetoxins routinely in the blood of humans and aquatic animals. We used striped mullet as laboratory test animals to better define the uptake and elimination kinetics of brevetoxin during an aqueous exposure to the brevetoxin-producing dinoflagellate Karenia brevis. Striped mullet were first exposed to sublethal densities of K. brevis (a...

The striped mullet is in the order Mugiliformes, family Mugilidae. There are nine species of mullet found in the western central Atlantic, the most common being the striped mullet, Mugil cephalus Linnaeus, 1758. There are two species of mullet found in South Carolina territorial waters, the striped (M. cephalus) and white mullet (M. curema). The remaining species within this family are found mo...

The striped mullet (Mugil cephalus L.) is distributed circumglobally in tropical and semitropical waters between latitudes 42°N and 42°S (Thomson, 1963; Rossi et al., 1998). Even though considered a marine species, striped mullet are euryhaline and can be found year round throughout the full range of estuarine salinities in the southeastern United States (Jacot, 1920; Anderson, 1958). Striped m...

ichthyozoonotic mycobacterium spp. poses health risks both to fish and humans. in this study, the presence of ichthyozoonotic mycobacterium spp. was investigated in red mullet (mullus barbatus barbatus) and surmullet (mullus surmuletus), widely caught species in the mediterranean and the aegean sea. a total of 208 fish samples, provided from fishermen of mersin province (turkey) were studied. u...
