SW and MAB helped in writing of the article. Two computer software programs CEDA and ASPIC were used which were based on surplus production models. From CEDA Fox, Schaeder and Pella-Tomlinson were used with initial proportion (IP) 0.9 were Key words used because the starting catch was 90% of the maximum catch the MSY estimated value from Fox with Fisheries statistics of Pakistan, Crab three error assumptions (normal, lognormal and gamma) were 3378 (R2=0.590), 3360 (R2=0.582), 3369 fishery, Portunus spp., Maximum (R2 =0.586), respectively, whereas the obtained values from Schaefer and Pella-Tomlinson with three error sustainable yield, overexploitation, assumptions were 2878 (R2=0.587), 3035 (R2=0.578) and gamma were minimization failure (MF) in both CEDA, ASPIC. models. The MSY estimated value from ASPIC from Fox and logistic model were 3652 (R2=0.8) and from logistic model were 2962 (R2=0.799), respectively. The present estimated values from surplus production models is lower than annual catch it shows that the stock of crab fishery from Pakistani waters is in overexploitation state, we may suggest to reduce the fishing efforts to sustain the crab stock from Pakistani waters for future generation. INTRODUCTION About 60% of total fish landing is primarily from marine sector and according to FAO (2009), there are about 250 anagement of world’s marine fin and shellfish stock demersal fish species, 20 and 50 are large and small pelagic Mis sustained by scientific recommendation based on fish species, respectively, 17 are different crab species and stock assessment using different research tools (Mace et 15 are most commercially important shrimp species from al., 2001). Marine Fisheries sector of Pakistan has diversity Pakistani waters.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Food of the threadfin bream Nemipterus mesoprion from the fishing grounds off Malabar coast were studied based on 3361 specimens. The studies showed that the fish is a demersal carnivore, subsisting mainly on crustaceans, teleosts, molluscs, polychaetes and miscellaneous food items. The trophic spectrum of N. mesoprion composed of 26 food items. Fish in all size groups preferred crustaceans. Penaeid prawns, Acetes spp. and deep-sea prawns were the dominant crustaceans in the diet. Anchovies, scads, lizardfishes and whitefish were the teleosts that formed the major diet component. N. mesoprion showed preference for teleosts as they grew. Copepods, crabs and squilla were seen mostly in the stomach of juveniles and pre- adult fishes. Teleosts were the major food during January-March and in all the other months crustaceans were dominant in the food. Feeding intensity was poor during most of the months.

    Journal of Agricultural and Marine Sciences Vol. 20 (2015): 47-53 Reveived 5 May 2014 Accepted 19 Feb 2015 RESEARCH PAPER Protein resources and aquafeed development in the Sultanate of Oman Stephen Goddard 1* and Fahad Saleh Ibrahim 2 موارد الربوتني وتطوير أعﻻف اﻷحياء املائية يف سلطنة عمان ستيفن جودارد1* وفهد صاحل ابراهيم2 Abstract. The continued growth of intensive aquaculture is dependent on the development of sustainable protein sources to replace conventional fish meals in aquafeeds. Practical alternatives are plant-derived protein, protein from micro-organisms and protein from under-utilized marine resources. The challenges are to find alternative ingredients with high protein, suitable amino acid content, high palatability and absence of anti-nutritional factors. There is consid- erable biotechnology-based research in this area, including genetic modification of plant-based proteins, use of probi- otics to enhance digestibility and the renewed application of fermentation technologies to produce single cell proteins. Research in Oman is focused on the utilization of marine protein resources. Fisheries by-catch and processing waste have been evaluated as liquid hydrolysates and as meals for inclusion in aquafeeds and new research is planned on the utilization of meso-pelagic fish (myctophids), which occur in abundance in the Arabian Sea and the Sea of Oman. Initial studies have been conducted on the biochemical composition of the lantern fish,Benthosema pterotum, which revealed favorable protein, amino acid and long-chain PUFA content. Potential limiting factors were high levels of saturated lipids and the heavy metals arsenic and cadmium. These results will be discussed within a general review of marine resources and aquafeed development in Oman.

    Metamorphoses: Bioinvasions in the Mediterranean Sea 2 7 B. S. Galil and Menachem Goren Abstract Six hundred and eighty alien marine multicellular species have been recorded in the Mediterranean Sea, with many establishing viable populations and dispersing along its coastline. A brief history of bioinvasions research in the Mediterranean Sea is presented. Particular attention is paid to gelatinous invasive species: the temporal and spatial spread of four alien scyphozoans and two alien ctenophores is outlined. We highlight few of the dis- cernible, and sometimes dramatic, physical alterations to habitats associated with invasive aliens in the Mediterranean littoral, as well as food web interactions of alien and native fi sh. The propagule pressure driving the Erythraean invasion is powerful in the establishment and spread of alien species in the eastern and central Mediterranean. The implications of the enlargement of Suez Canal, refl ecting patterns in global trade and economy, are briefl y discussed.

R. Received: July 2012 Accepted: November 2012 Abstract A reproductive biology study of blue swimming crab, Portunus segnis (Forskal, 1775) in the northern Persian Gulf and Oman Sea, was conducted from May 2010 to October 2011. The results showed that the annual sex ratio is not M: F=1:1, with 51.9 % female. All the five stages of ovarian development of P. segnis were observed throughout the year. The size of ovigerous crabs varied from 103 to 155 mm. carapace width. This crab can spawn all year round with a spawning peak in mid-winter to early of spring season. The fecundity of ovigerous crabs ranged from 521027 to 6656599 eggs, with average fecundity of 2397967 eggs. The minimum carapace width (CW) of female crabs that reach sexual maturity was 92- 138 mm and the length at which 50% of all ovigerous females was 113 mm carapace width.

Conclusions Glossary Bibliography Biographical Sketch Summary Chemical signaling is an important communication mechanism within and between species in the marine environment. Chemical cues are of particular importance in aquatic systems since visibility can be greatly impaired by sediment load and the attenuation ofUNESCO light at greater depths. The physical – EOLSSand chemical properties in the marine environment influence the way chemical signals are produced, transported and detected, and also determine the nature and success of ecological interactions. Marine animals have very well developed chemical senses and chemical signals can help animals to identify conspecificsSAMPLE and regulate social behavior. CHAPTERS Reproductive processes such as mate recognition and synchronization in gamete, or larval release, may be highly influenced by chemical signals especially in plants and invertebrates where hormonal signaling is not complex. The establishment and maintenance of symbiotic associations as well as homing behavior may require of chemical signaling although these processes are less understood. Chemical signals are also important in food recognition and ingestion by grazers, carnivores and scavengers, predator detection and avoidance, alarm responses and deterrence of feeding behavior.

SANKARANKUTTY Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute INTRODUCTION THE present paper begins a series on the brachyuran fauna of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and describes 29 species and a variety collected during February to March 1960 from (1) Localities around Port Blair, viz. Bimbletan, South Point, Corbins Cove, Aberdeen Bay, Phoenix Bay, North Bay and Kalapahad ; (2) Neil! Island ; (3) Car Nicobar ; (4) Maya Bandar ; (5) Long Island ; and (6) Nan- cauri. Of these reported in this account, 8 species and 1 variety are recorded for the first time from this region. Heller (1868) recorded 27 species of crabs belonging to the three famiUes Por- tunidae, Ocypodidae, and Grapsidae. Alcock (1899 & 1900) in his ' Materials for a Carcinological Fauna of India' described 35 species of portunids, 13 species of ocypodids and 24 species of grapsoids from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, apart from Mictyris longicarpus Latreille. Later de Man (1908-09) reported Sesarma thelxionae de Man ; Kemp (1919) Macrophthalmus pacificus Dana (=M. bicari- natus Heller) and Dotilla wichmanni de Man and Chopra (1931) Lissocarcinus ornatus Chopra from the same region. The collections were made mainly from the coral reefs and the intertidal region, vast areas of which get exposed during the ebb tide. A number of specimens were collected from the submerged reef with the help of a mask and snorkel. Portunids were mainly collected with a small dredge operated at 10 metres in the Aberdeen Bay, Port Blair.
