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.

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.

Una escala de madurez de cinco estados, basada en el aspecto externo, fue utilizada para clasificar los ovarios.

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.
  • Recycled Fish Sculpture (.PDF)

    Recycled Fish Sculpture (.PDF)

    Recycled Fish Sculpture Name:__________ Fish: are a paraphyletic group of organisms that consist of all gill-bearing aquatic vertebrate animals that lack limbs with digits. At 32,000 species, fish exhibit greater species diversity than any other group of vertebrates. Sculpture: is three-dimensional artwork created by shaping or combining hard materials—typically stone such as marble—or metal, glass, or wood. Softer ("plastic") materials can also be used, such as clay, textiles, plastics, polymers and softer metals. They may be assembled such as by welding or gluing or by firing, molded or cast. Researched Photo Source: Alaskan Rainbow STEP ONE: CHOOSE one fish from the attached Fish Names list. Trout STEP TWO: RESEARCH on-line and complete the attached K/U Fish Research Sheet. STEP THREE: DRAW 3 conceptual sketches with colour pencil crayons of possible visual images that represent your researched fish. STEP FOUR: Once your fish designs are approved by the teacher, DRAW a representational outline of your fish on the 18 x24 and then add VALUE and COLOUR . CONSIDER: Individual shapes and forms for the various parts you will cut out of recycled pop aluminum cans (such as individual scales, gills, fins etc.) STEP FIVE: CUT OUT using scissors the various individual sections of your chosen fish from recycled pop aluminum cans. OVERLAY them on top of your 18 x 24 Representational Outline 18 x 24 Drawing representational drawing to judge the shape and size of each piece. STEP SIX: Once you have cut out all your shapes and forms, GLUE the various pieces together with a glue gun.

    APPENDIX 1 Classified list of fishes mentioned in the text, with scientific and common names. ___________________________________________________________ Scientific names and classification are from Nelson (1994). Families are listed in the same order as in Nelson (1994), with species names following in alphabetical order. The common names of British fishes mostly follow Wheeler (1978). Common names of foreign fishes are taken from Froese & Pauly (2002). Species in square brackets are referred to in the text but are not found in British waters. Fishes restricted to fresh water are shown in bold type. Fishes ranging from fresh water through brackish water to the sea are underlined; this category includes diadromous fishes that regularly migrate between marine and freshwater environments, spawning either in the sea (catadromous fishes) or in fresh water (anadromous fishes). Not indicated are marine or freshwater fishes that occasionally venture into brackish water.
