The author travelled to Pakistan in November 1984 for the purpose of assessing, at landing places and in markets, present constraints in local routine work involving identification and denomination of commercial marine and brackish-water species, and to examine, in collaboration with national counterpart personnel, the species composition of catches at selected places, for the purpose of collecting data and information by species to be used for the preparation of this field guide. Additional information, especially on local denominations, was provided by Dr B.C. Russell, who travelled to Pakistan in September/October 1985. The basic reference used during the mission was the recently published set of FAO Species Identification Sheets for Fishery Purposes - Western Indian Ocean (Fishing Area 51) which proved to be invaluable for this purpose. However, this document is somewhat cumbersome to use for the average data collector since it includes many species not landed in Pakistan. It also does not provide local species denominations used within the country. The preparation of the actual field guide was carried out by using illustrations and taxonomic data from the above-mentioned set of Identification Sheets, as well as the notes and local species names collected during the field mission. The final document was prepared under the FAO Species Identification Programme, and the printing was funded by the FAO Regular Programme. The author wishes to express her gratitude to all those who have contributed in one way or another to the implementation of this project, and particularly to: - Dr W. Brandhorst, Chief Technical Adviser, UNDP/FAO Marine Fisheries Development Project (Pakistan) for his effective support to the field activities in Pakistan and to the elaboration of the final document at FAO/HQ. - Dr Abdul Majid, Director General, Marine Fisheries Department (Pakistan). - Ms Nadira Mirza, Museum Curator, Marine Fisheries Department (Pakistan) for her valuable help in the collection of data by species throughout the mission. - Messrs M. Khalil Uddin, Research Officer and A.H. Zaidi, Senior Statistician, Marine Fisheries Department (Pakistan), for providing valuable information especially on local species names and statistical data, respectively. - Messrs M. Moazzam Khan, Senior Research Officer, Directorate of Fisheries Government of Baluchis- tan and M. Sadic Niazi, Zoologist, Zoological Survey Department (Pakistan), for having provided precious information on local species denominations and fisheries of the Baluchistan region. Mr Niazi, in particular, made available an unpublished work on "The commercial fishes of Pakistan" (by M. Farooq Ahmad and M. Sadiq Niazi). - Mr N.P. van Zalinge, Resources Management Adviser, UNDP/FAO Marine Fisheries Development Project, Karachi (Pakistan), for the information on the shrimp fisheries of Pakistan. - To the FAO staff in Pakistan and at FAO/HQ for their valuable assistance at the various stages of the work and in particular to Mrs M. Kautenberger-Longo who skillfully assisted with the typing and page composition of the document. - To Dr J.E. Randall, B. Bishop Museum, Honolulu, Hawaii, for kindly providing his valuable colour slides which were already used in the Species Identification Sheets for the Western Indian Ocean. Special thanks are due to: - Dr B.C. Russell, Museums and Art Galleries of the Northern Territory, Darwin, Australia, for his substantial contribution in the collection of local names and additional information on habitat and biology of several species. - Dr Mathias Stehmann, Institut für Seefischerei, Zoologisches Institut and Zoologisches Museum der Universitat Hamburg, Federal Republic of Germany, for having provided all the taxonomic information on the batoid fishes of Pakistan.

Cuddalore-Dt, Tamilnadu, India Government Arts College, Viruthachalam Submitted: 31 Jan 2020 Accepted: 05 Feb 2020; Published: 07 Mar 2020 Abstract Bycatch and discards are common and pernicious problems faced by all fisheries globally. It is recognized as unavoidable in any kind of fishing but the quantity varies according to the gear operated. In tropical countries like India, bycatch issue is more complex due to the multi-species and multi-gear nature of the fisheries. Among the different fishing gears, trawling accounts for a higher rate of bycatch, due to comparatively low selectivity of the gear. A study was conducted during June 2018 - Dec 2019 in the Mudasalodai fish landing centre, southeast coast of India. During the study period six sp. of flat fishes collected and identified taxonomically. Keywords: Flat fish, tongue fish, sole fish, bycatch, fish landing, waters of Parangipettai. The study was conducted for a period of diversity, taxonomy one and half year (June 2018 - Dec 2019), no sampling was done in the month of May, due to the fishing holiday in the coast of Introduction Tamil Nadu. The collected flat fishes were kept in ice boxes and Fish forms an important source of food and is man’s important transferred to the laboratory and washed in tap water.

Del mismo modo, es difícil entender los agradecimientos de una tesis hasta que pones el punto y final. Es en este momento cuando se puede percibir la gratitud que sientes a todas las personas que han estado presentes durante esa etapa, ya bien sea codo a codo o simplemente trayéndote un café calentito en el momento preciso. Pero también es cierto que, entre toda esa gente que ha estado ahí, hay pocas caras que se dibujan clara e intensamente en mi cabeza. En primerísimo lugar, me gustaría dar las gracias de una manera muy especial a Montse por muchos, muchísimos motivos: por darme cariño y amistad desde el día en que nos conocimos; porque a lo largo de esta década hemos compartido muchísimos momentos alegres, acompañados de risas y carcajadas, pero también los más tristes de mi vida, inundados de lágrimas y angustia; por estar ahí para lo que sea, para todo, y tener siempre tendida su mano amiga; por escucharme una y otra vez, sin cansarse, y aconsejarme sabiamente; por confiar en mí y guiarme, no solo durante el desarrollo de esta tesis, sino también en mi formación y día a día; por su eterna paciencia;… y, sobre todo, por poner en mi vida al “morenocho”, ese pequeño loquito tímido que me comería a besos.

Abstract: Bony fish includes the largest groups of fishes that have high economic value. Among these fish the Pleuronectiformes order have about 678 extant species that are recognized in approximately 134 genera and 14 families. Among the tonguefishes (Cynoglossidae) family, the species of Cynoglossus arel has remarkable distribution in Persian Gulf region. The purpose of this study was to determine the timing and duration of the spawning season from the monthly data on the incidence of changes in the gonadosomatic index (GSI), hepatosomatic index (HSI) and condition factor (K). In this study a total of 905 C. arel specimens were collected from the coastal waters of Bandar Abbas, south coast of Iran (27˚17’N, 56˚26’E) from October 2009 to September 2010. Then, in laboratory total length, body weight and sex were recorded, also gonads and liver were removed and weighted. The average of total length and total weight in males were 210.6 ± 1.91 mm and 43.0 ± 1.19 g, also the average of total length and total weight in females were 226.1 ± 1.81 mm and 54.2 ± 1.41 g.

The South China Sea is a major water body containing a large and diverse fish fauna. However, many areas of the South China Sea, particularly in Malaysia and Vietnam, have been poorly studied in terms of fish taxonomy and diversity. Local fish scientists and students have frequently faced difficulty when try- ing to identify fishes in their home countries.

More than 80 recent references relating to Philippine flatfish are assembled. Various biological inferences are drawn from the small sizes typical of Philippine (and tropical) flatfish, and pertinent to the "systems dynamics of flatfish". This was facilitated by FishBase, which documents all data presented here, and which was used to generate the graphs supporting these biological inferences. INTRODUCTION Taxonomy, in its widest sense, is at the root of every scientific discipline, which must first define the objects it studies. Then, the attributes of these objects can be used for various classificatory and/or interpretive schemes; for example, the table of elements in chemistry or evolutionary trees in biology. Fisheries science is no different; here the object of study is a fishery, the interaction between species and certain gears, deployed at certain times in certain places.
