The present review is focus on parasitic organisms, previously considered as protozoans. Viral, prokaryotic and fungal parasites caused diseases and disorders of worldwide mullets were also observed. Most of the known viruses associated with a high mortality of mullets were detected in Mugil cephalus . Prokaryotic microparasites were registered in M. cephalus , Moolgarda cunnesiu , Liza ramada and Mugil liza . Fungal pathogens were associated with representatives of the genera Aphanomyces , Achlya , Phialemonium , Ichthyophonus . Ichthyophonus sp. can be considered as a potential threat for marine fish aquaculture, especially in culture conditions. A new hyperparasitic microsporidium like organism was recorded in myxozoan Myxobolus parvus infecting grey mullet Liza haematocheilus in the Russian coastal zone of the Sea of Japan. The protozoan representatives of the phyla Dinoflagellata, Euglenozoa, Ciliophora and Apicomplexa were reviewed and analyzed. The review of myxosporean parasites from grey mullets includes 64 species belonging to 13 genera and 9 families infecting 16 fish species Key words: worldwide mullets, microparasites, diseases and disorders Introduction importance of microparasites, infecting mullets based on existing data and original material Separation of microparasites from other obtained during parasitological investigations of parasites based mostly on epidemiological grounds mullets.

BOX; 1408, Lattakia, Syria [email protected] (corresponding author); [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] ABSTRACT Syria’s total marine fisheries catches were estimated for the 1950-2010 time period using a reconstruction approach which accounted for all fisheries removals, including unreported commercial landings, discards, and recreational and subsistence catches. All unreported estimates were added to the official data, as reported by the Syrian Arab Republic to the United Nation’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Total reconstructed catch for 1950-2010 was around 170,000 t, which is 78% more than the amount reported by Syria to the FAO as their national catch. The unreported components added over 74,000 t of unreported catches, of which 38,600 t were artisanal landings, 16,000 t industrial landings, over 4,000 t recreational catches, 3,000 t subsistence catches and around 12,000 t were discards.

These analyses suggested the paraphyly of the genus Liza and also that the separation of Liza, Chelon and Oedalechilus might be unnatural. Moreover, all the species of the genus Mugil plus orthologs of Crenimugil crenilabis clustered together; however, molecular analyses suggested possible introgressions in Mugil cephalus and moreover, that fish identified as Mugil curema could correspond to two different species as already shown by karyotypic analyses. Keywords: Mugilidae, grey mullets, mitochondrial DNA, Mugil cephalus, introgression. INTRODUCTION We have focused this study on Mugilid species for which both cytochrome b (cytb) and 16S rDNA mtDNA sequences The family Mugilidae, commonly referred to as grey have been already published. Their geographic distributions mullets, includes several species which have a worldwide are briefly presented here. Oedalechilus labeo is limited to distribution; they inhabit marine, estuarine, and freshwater the Mediterranean Sea and the Moroccan Atlantic coast, environments at all latitudes except the Polar Regions [1]; a whereas, Liza and Chelon inhabit also the Eastern Atlantic few spend all their lives in freshwater [2].

  • Age and Growth of Leaping Grey Mullet (Liza Saliens (Risso, 1810)) in Minorca (Balearic Islands)*
    SCI. MAR., 63 (2): 93-99 SCIENTIA MARINA 1999 Age and growth of leaping grey mullet (Liza saliens (Risso, 1810)) in Minorca (Balearic Islands)* LUIS CARDONA Department of Animal Biology (Vertebrates), Faculty of Biology, University of Barcelona, Avda. Diagonal 645, 08028 Barcelona, Spain. SUMMARY: A population of leaping grey mullet (Liza saliens (Risso, 1810) was studied in order to measure seasonal and annual growth rates. The annual growth rates were similar to those reported for other populations from the central Western Mediterranean and intermediate between those living in northern and southern areas. As usual, the growth rate of adult males was slower than that of females. Males reached adulthood in their third summer. Females of the same age showed a mod- erate gonadal development, but did not ripen until the next summer. Mullets of all ages gained weight only when the water temperature was higher than 20°C. However adults and immature fish showed reduced growth in mid-summer, when that of the juveniles peaked. This difference is not a consequence of the reproductive cost, because the growth rate of immatures was greatly reduced although they did not spawn. Key words: Balearic Islands, coastal lagoons, Liza saliens, growth, age. INTRODUCTION The aim of this work was to study age and growth of leaping grey mullet in the Balearic Leaping grey mullet (Liza saliens (Risso, 1810)) Islands, with special emphasis on seasonal growth, are found in Mediterranean estuaries (Ben Tuvia, one of the least studied aspects of their biology. 1986). Age and growth have been studied by sever- al authors (Heldt, 1948 ; Farrugio, 1975 ; Quignard and Farrugio, 1981; Sostoa, 1983; Drake et al., MATERIAL AND METHODS 1984; Patón et al., 1994), but information is still too scarce to provide us with a detailed life story of the The study was carried out in 1989 in Albufera species in its whole distribution range.

These analyses have shown that juveniles are L. aurata individuals; phylogenetic analyses supported this grouping with very high bootstrap values and also shown evidence of gene flow between Atlantic and Mediterranean populations. Moreover, phylogenetic analyses were congruent with the analyses of the number of pyloric caeca. As mugilid juveniles for aquaculture are still obtained from wild stocks, these data provided a valuable baseline for further investigations on identification of these fish. Moreover, using the polymerase chain reaction, sufficient DNA for phylogenetic analyses can be amplified from very small portions of caudal fins and these samples can be collected without sacrificing individuals, which is one important requirement for the study of species that young fry is used for stocking lagoons and lakes.

  • Vulnerability and Over-Exploitation of Grey Mullet in UK Waters
    Vulnerability and Over-Exploitation of Grey Mullet in UK Waters Alan Butterworth & Andy Burt National Mullet Club February 2018 Vulnerability and Over-Exploitation of Grey Mullet in UK Waters. 1. Introduction There are three species of Mugilidae commonly present in UK waters; Golden-Grey Mullet (Liza aurata), Thin-lipped Grey Mullet (Liza aurata) and Thick-lipped Grey Mullet (Chelon labrosus). They have been regarded as having limited commercial interest with consequently no limit on catches and are simply collectively named as “grey mullet” for reporting landings; this takes no account of the individual species ecology, growth rates, or size at maturity. This perceived lack of commercial interest has resulted in little scientific interest and no studies on population size and dynamics, and fails to recognise the increased commercial interest as populations of other species decline. It is a recognised science-based and common-sense approach that exploitation should not take place until the majority of the fish stock has spawned at least once. The Marine Management Organisation (MMO) has set no Minimum Conservation Reference Size (MCRS) for any of the species, and five of the Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authorities (IFCAs) have no prescribed size limit. Where IFCAs have set limits - two at 20cm and two at 30cm – they are below the size at which thin-lipped and thick-lipped mullet are known to first spawn in UK and Irish waters. Although mullet have always been targeted to some degree, especially by inshore fishermen, the recent restrictions on fishing for bass, Dicentrarchus labrax, has seemingly led to an increase in commercial exploitation of grey mullet.

  • Chapter «Agricultural Sciences» Feeding Features of Mullets Pavlо Shekk1 Maryna Burhaz2 DOI
    Chapter «Agricultural sciences» feeding feATureS of mulleTS Pavlо Shekk1 maryna burhaz2 DOI: https://doi.org/10.30525/978-9934-588-15-0-138 Abstract. Mullets have long been considered as one of the most import- ant objects of sea ranching in the Black, Azov and Mediterranean basins. Representatives of a family (Mugilidae) have long been valuable objects of ranching fish farming in brackish estuaries and lagoons of the Mediterra- nean and Azov-Black Sea basins. Mugilidae family belongs to Mugiliforms and Acanthopterygii group consisting of ten genera and about one hundred species. There are five native species of mullets in the Black Sea: flathead grey – Mugil cephalus L., golden grey mullet – Liza aurata (Risso), leap- ing mullet – Lizas saliens (Risso), thicklip grey mullet – Chelon labrozus (Risso), and the thinlip mullet – Liza ramada (Risso). The first three species are of industrial importance. In the 1980s, so-iuy mullet– Liza hematochei- lus (Temmink et Schlegel) was acclimated in the Black Sea and later in the Sea of Azov. Due to its high environmental plasticity, the species quickly naturalized and spread. At the same time, the abundance of native species of mullets has significantly decreased in the natural waters, as well as the number of so-iuy mullet over the last years. To ensure fingerling rearing in the Black Sea lagoons and estuaries, it is necessary to solve the problem of artificial reproduction of mullet. One of the key points of biotechnology – the larval rearing – is to provide them with adequate live food. This factor is crucial. It gives juvenile growth, survival and viability.
