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.

MAR., 69 (2): 275-283 SCIENTIA MARINA 2005 Reproductive aspects of Microchirus azevia (Risso, 1810) (Pisces: Soleidae) from the south coast of Portugal* ISABEL AFONSO-DIAS 1,2, CATARINA REIS 2 and J. PEDRO ANDRADE 2 2 Universidade do Algarve, FCMA/CCMar, Campus de Gambelas, 8005-139 Faro, Portugal. E-mail: [email protected] 1 CCMar, FCMA - Universidade do Algarve. SUMMARY: Fresh fish obtained from commercial landings in the harbours of Olhão and Quarteira (south Portugal) in 1998 and 1999, were examined in order to study different aspects of the reproductive biology of Microchirus azevia (Risso, 1810): spawning season, ovary maturation, length/age at first maturity and sex ratio. A five-stage maturity scale, based on external appearance was used to classify the ovaries. M. azevia is a winter-spring batch spawner with a protracted spawning season. Females outnumbered males in length classes greater than 19 cm and in all age groups. The estimated mean size at first maturity (L50%) for females was 23 cm total length at 3 years of age (t50%). Keywords: reproduction, Microchirus azevia, maturity. RESUMEN: ASPECTOS DE LA REPRODUCCIÓN DE MICROCHIRUS AZEVIA ((RISSO, 1810) (PISCES: SOLEIDAE) DE COSTA SUR DE PORTUGAL. – Ejemplares de Microchirus azevia (Risso, 1810) capturados en la pesca comercial en los puertos portugueses de Olhão y Quarteira en 1998 y 1999, fueron examinados para el posterior estudio de varios aspectos de su biología repro- ductiva: estación de freza, maduración del ovario, talla/edad de la primera madurez y proporción sexual. Una escala de madurez de cinco estados, basada en el aspecto externo, fue utilizada para clasificar los ovarios.

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.

The study of the Portuguese marine ichthyofauna has a long historical tradition, rooted back in the 18th Century. Here we present an annotated checklist of the marine fishes from Portuguese waters, including the area encompassed by the proposed extension of the Portuguese continental shelf and the Economic Exclusive Zone (EEZ). The list is based on historical literature records and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history collections, together with new revisions and occurrences.

  • An Annotated Checklist of Philippine Flatfish: Ecological Implications3'
    An Annotated Checklist of Philippine Flatfish: Ecological Implications3' A. Cabanbanb) E. Capulic) R. Froesec) and D. Pauly1" Abstract An annotated list of the flatfish of the Philippines was assembled, covering 108 species (vs. 74 in the entire North Atlantic), and thus highlighting this country's feature of being at the center of the world's marine biodiversity. 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 the FishBase CD-ROM, which documents all data presented here, and which was used to generate the graphs supporting these biological inferences. a) For presentation at the Third International Symposium on Flatfish Ecology, 2-8 November 1996, Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ), Texel, The Netherlands.

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.

LABAN 2 1 Marine Science Department , 2 Zoology Department, Faculty of Science, Suez Canal University, Ismailia, Egypt Ahmed A.I., Sharaf M.M., Laban H.A. 2010. Reproduction of the Egyptian sole, Solea aegyptiaca (Actinopterygii: Pleuronectiformes: Soleidae), from Port Said, Egypt, Mediterranean Sea. Acta Ichthyol. Piscat. 40 (2): 161– 166. Background. Understanding of reproduction of the Egyptian sole, Solea aegyptiaca , has been considered a major step toward understanding its population dynamics, especially in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. In Egypt this species has highly commercial value and it has recently been successfully bred in aquaculture, but more data on the reproductive biology is still needed. So, the present work aimed to study the population structure and the reproductive dynamics of S. aegyptiaca over an annual reproductive cycle. Materials and Methods. A total of 594 specimens of S. aegyptiaca were obtained from October 2004 to September 2005 in a monthly basis from the commercial catch. Sex ratio, age, and length at first maturity, gona - do-somatic index, maturity stage, oocyte diameter, and fecundity were analysed in order to increase our knowl - edge on the reproductive dynamics of S. aegyptiaca . Results. The overall ratio between males and females was 1.0 : 1.15 and showed no significant deviation from the expected 1 : 1 ratio, males are dominant among small size, while females are dominant among larger size.

However, little is known of its reproductive information regarding spawning pattern and season that could possibly explain its success as an invasive species. This research is the first presentation of its reproductive characteristics, which was conducted based on 235 individuals collected monthly throughout a year from Sefid River, in the southern Caspian Sea basin. Age, sex ratio, fecundity, oocytes diameter and gonado-somatic index were calculated. Regression analyses were used to find relations among fecundity and fish size, gonad weight (Wg) and age. The mature males and females were longer than 93.0 and 99.7mm in total length, respectively (+1 in age). The average egg diameter ranged from 0.4mm (April) to 1.1mm (August). Spawning took place in August, when the water temperature was 23 to 26°C.
