The pattern of the use of the Sepetiba Bay, a semi-closed 450 km² area in southeastern Brazil, by Anchoa tricolor was investigated to assess spawning period, recruitment and to detect spatial-temporal patterns of this major fishery resource. Fishes were sampled by seine nets, from spring, 1998 to winter, 1999 and by beach seine, from spring, 1998 to winter, 2000. Reproductive season, measured in terms of GSI, gonad development and appearance of recruits, indicate that reproduction occurs from August to March, when they reach the best condition. Recruitment peaks in winter/spring at sandy beaches where they stay until late summer, moving toward deeper bay areas during autumn. After that, they join adults and perform movements between the bay and the adjacent continental shelf to reproduce.

ABSTRAKPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui karakteristik morfometrik dan meristik ikan julung-julung di Teluk Ekas, Lombok Timur. Sampel penelitian berjumlah 165 ikan yang di tangkap pada daerah intertidal dengan metode swept area menggunakan pukat pantai (beach seine) di tiga stasiun. Karakteristik morfologi yang terlihat dengan jelas pada ikan julung-julung ini yaitu memiliki rahang bawah dengan warna merah pada ujungnya dan memiliki ukuran yang jauh lebih panjang jika dibandingkan dengan rahang atasnya. Hasil pengukuran karakteristik morfometrik menunjukkan bahwa ikan julung-julung yang terdapat pada daerah intertidal perairan Teluk Ekas merupakan ikan muda (juvenile) dengan frekuensi panjang total (PT) tertinggi terdapat pada ukuran 13,1-15 cm. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa ikan julung-julung di daerah intertidal Teluk Ekas memiliki karakteristik morfometrik yang hampir sama dengan ikan julung-julung pada umumnya. Kata-kata kunci: Ikan Julung-Julung, Karakteristik, Meristik, Morfometrik   ABSTRACT This research intended to know the morphometric and meristic characteristic of jumping halfbeak at Ekas Bay, East Lombok. The sample of this research consisted of 165 fishes which caught at intertidal zone using swept area method with beach seine in three stations. The morphological characteristic which can be seen clearly on jumping halfbeak has lower jaw with red tip and longer than its upper jaw. The results of measurement of morphometric characteristic proved that jumping halfbeak at intertidal zone of Ekas Bay were young fish (juvenile) total length highest frequency on range of 13,1-15 cm. The conclusion of this research is jumping halfbeak at the intertidal zone of Ekas Bay has the similar characteristic morphometric to the general one. Keywords: Characteristic, Jumping halfbeak, Meristic, Morphometric

Monthly length-frequency data, from 2009 to 2014, was used to estimate the growth parameters, mortality, and spawning season, and to assess the exploitation status of Thryssa vitrirostris (Engraulidae) fisheries in Pebane. The von Bertalanffy asymptotic length (L∞) and growth rate (K) were 25.1 cm (standard length) and 0.41 per year (standard length), respectively. Two proxy recruitment peaks were found: the first peak of recruitment occurs from April to July, and the second recruitment peak from September to October. The total estimated mortality rates (Z), natural mortality (M), and fishing mortality (F) were Z = 1.31, M = 0.92, and F = 0.39. For the beach seine gear, the size at first catch of T. vitrirostris was Lc25 = 4.43 cm. The 50% retention size of the catch was Lc50 = 5.39 cm. The retention probability analyses revealed a large rate of juvenile fishing mortality (54.2%). The estimated exploitation rate (0.30) was below the maximum exploitation rate (0.48), and above the optimal sustainable exploitation rate (E50 = 0.28), evidencing a sustainable fishery. However, under such an exploitation regime, it is advised that a continuously monitoring-survey of T. vitrirostris is maintained. An increase in migration of fishermen has been recently recorded in Pebane, due to its rich fisheries, which can increase the fishing effort and the risk of overexploitation if management measures (such as mesh size increase) are not taken in advance.

A small school of juvenile Atlantic Whitefish (~20-30 individuals) were observed in the littoral zone of Hebb Lake (Petite Rivière watershed), Nova Scotia in June 2000. Of these, a single individual was captured with a beach seine, and confirmed to be a young-of-the-year specimen. This is the first documented report of the occurrence of wild Atlantic Whitefish juveniles. Occupation of the littoral zone into early summer by young-of-the-year Atlantic Whitefish may have implications for predation by invasive Smallmouth Bass.
