Feeding Habits of the Striped Red Mullet, Mullus Surmuletus in the Eastern Adriatic Sea
ISSN: 0001-5113 ACTA ADRIAT., ORIGINAL SCIENTIFIC PAPER AADRAY 59 (1): 123 - 136, 2018 Feeding habits of the striped red mullet, Mullus surmuletus in the eastern Adriatic Sea Mišo PAVIČIĆ, Jasna ŠILJIĆ, Dajana BRAJČIĆ JURICA and Sanja MATIĆ-SKOKO* Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries, Šetalište Ivana Meštrovića 63, P.O. Box. 500, 21000 Split, Croatia *Corresponding author: [email protected] Feeding habits of the striped red mullet, Mullus surmutetus in the eastern Adriatic Sea were investigated. Stomach contents of 203 specimens (11.5 - 32.9 cm TL) collected by bottom trawling were analyzed. Commonly accepted procedures were followed during the diet composition inspec- tion and standard keys were used for food items determination. Examinations showed that 39 iden- tified prey taxa belong to 11 major systematic groups: Crustacea, Gastropoda, Bivalvia, Pisces, Cnidaria, Echinodermata, Polychaeta, Nematoda, Bryozoa, Algae and Rhizaria. The predominant and preferred prey category was decapod crustaceans within all size categories and only in the largest individuals, the dominance of Bivalvia followed by Polychaeta and Crustacea were found. The largest individuals also showed more variety in consumption of different prey categories and a higher mean number of prey items in comparison with smaller fish. No significant differences in prey foraging between males and females (p>0.05) and regarding to season (p>0.05) were found. Feeding on such wide spectra of prey without significant variations regarding to sex and season suggests that the striped red mullets are able to adapt to shifts in spatio-temporal variations in the abundance of potential prey. Presence of detritus in the digestive tracts is highly related to its forag- ing behaviour on muddy detritic bottoms.

In addition to polishing the language and style, I added a number of illustrations, and some distribution maps were also redrawn. Contentwise, I was struck by the high level of commitment of the numerous scientists associated with this project. Inevitably, there were differences in approach and in the level of thoroughness between contributions. By far the most detailed species sheets were those contributed by the ornithologists, while some of the most synthetic ones were found among the botanical entries.

SPECIFIC DIVERSITY of the ROMANIAN BLACK SEA FISH FAUNA Aurelia Țoțoiu, Tania Zaharia, Magda-Ioana Nenciu, Victor Niță, Al
Specific Diversity of the Romanian Black Sea “Cercetări Marine“ Fish Fauna Issue no. 48 (Aurelia Țoțoiu, Tania Zaharia, Magda-Ioana 2018 Nenciu, Victor Niță, Alexandru Nicolaev, Cristian Pages 50-58 Danilov, Mădălina Galațchi, Mariana Golumbeanu, Gheorghe Radu, Valodia Maximov) SPECIFIC DIVERSITY OF THE ROMANIAN BLACK SEA FISH FAUNA Aurelia Țoțoiu, Tania Zaharia, Magda-Ioana Nenciu, Victor Niță, Alexandru Nicolaev, Cristian Danilov, Mădălina Galațchi, Mariana Golumbeanu, Gheorghe Radu, Valodia Maximov National Institute for Marine Research and Development “Grigore Antipa”, 300 Mamaia Blvd., RO-900581, Constanta, Romania, telephone: +40 241 543288 E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT The diversity of the Romanian Black fish fauna has undergone permanent changes, both qualitatively and quantitatively. These changes have occurred as a result of the deterioration of environmental conditions, but also due to inappropriate fisheries management. Some of these changes have had a major impact on both pelagic and benthic fish populations, affecting common and rare species, juveniles and adults, fish populations of commercial or non-commercial value, thus generating the disappearance of fish populations and, very rarely, the introduction of new species. The quantitative analysis between 2016 and 2017 revealed the following: the dominant species in the samples analyzed from pound nets and beach seine were commercial species (sprat, anchovy, shads, horse mackerel etc.), followed in very small quantities (1 to 10 specimens) of non-commercial species. Knowing and preserving the specific diversity of the Black Sea is a complex issue of concern. Over the last decades, due to pollution, eutrophication and unrealistic exploitation of bioresources, the total productivity of the marine ecosystem has greatly diminished, the Black Sea transforming from a rich and diverse ecosystem into a sea dominated by planktonic species reduced in number, incapable of bearing a rich fauna of large predators.

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 mullet sampled from 5 French Mediterranean coastal areas. Mean concentrations ranged between 0.23 and 0.78 μg g−1 dry mass for both species.

Phylogenetic Relationships of Mediterranean Mullidae Species (Perciformes) Inferred from Genetic and Morphologic Data

E–mail: [email protected] SUMMARY: Genetic and morphological divergence and phylogenetic relationships of four species Mullus barbatus, Mullus surmuletus, Upeneus moluccensis, Upeneus pori and one subspecies M.b. ponticus of Mullus were investigated using 12 enzymatic systems, corresponding to 17 putative loci. Eight loci (AAT-1*, AAT-2*, ADH*, GAPDH*, G6PDH*, IDHP*, PGI-2*, SOD*) were found to be polymorphic in at least one species, while the remaining nine (mAAT*, CK-1*, CK-2*, G3PDH*, MDH*, ME-1*, ME-2*, PGI-1*, PGM*) were monomorphic in all species. Several loci showed different elec- trophoretic patterns among species and thus can be used in species taxonomy as diagnostic markers. The PGM* and SOD* loci proved to be especially species-specific. Fisher’s exact test revealed overall highly significant allele frequency differ- ences between M. barbatus and M. b. ponticus (P<0.001). Pairwise comparisons of genetic distance were found to be 0.034 between M. barbatus and M. b. ponticus, and 0.341 between M. barbatus and M. surmuletus within the genus Mullus. Relatively higher genetic differentiation (D=0.628) was observed between U. moluccensis and U. pori. For intergeneric com- parisons, the highest genetic distance (1.250) was detected between M. surmuletus and U. pori, and the lowest (D=1.056) was observed between M.
