Oktaviani D, Faizah R, Nugroho D. 2018. Biological aspects of Longfin Mojarra (Pentaprion longimanus, Cantor 1849) in north coast of Central Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 19: 683-689. Longfin Mojarra (Pentaprion longimanus) locally named as rengganis, is a demersal fish species that is commonly caught in Scottish seine fisheries off the north coast of Java. The fisheries are in heavily harvest level since decades. The aim of this study was to observe the biological aspects of this species. Observations were made between August 2014-July 2015 from Tegal fishing port, western part of north coast central Java. General life-history parameters were measured, i.e., monthly length frequency for 1876 fishes, among them 573 specimens were observed for length-weight relationship, including 541 specimens for sex ratio and maturity stages. Fulton index, Gonadosomatic index, sex ratio and estimated length at first mature were analyzed. The result showed fish size ranged between 7.4 to 15.3 cmFL with the average length of 11.2+1.75 cmFL. We found that length-weight relationship tends to be isometric which statistically the body growth coefficient (b) is equal to 3 (tc = 0.53 < tab; p<0.05) . Monthly Fulton indexes ranged between 1.05-2.87 with an average of 1.90 + 0.17. Sex ratio during observation was not significantly different (p<0.05) from the expected ratio of 1: 1. Mature females occurred year-round with the highest percentage observed from January to April 2015. The estimated length at first maturity was 13.04 cm FL. These biological parameters will be used to support the population study of the future demersal fish species to improve conservation and management measures.

Demak is a coastal area on the North Coast of Java with a large enough potential for demersal fish resources. This research aimed to determine the composition, the length and weight distribution, and catch per unit effort (CPUE) of demersal fish caught using mini bottom trawl at the north coast of Demak Regency. The research was carried out in October-December 2020 by observation of ten trips of mini bottom trawl fishing. Each fish captured was then grouped by type, identified, and measured its length and weight. The result showed that 38 species consist of 31 fishes, four mollusks, and three crustaceans. The fish captured dominated by pony fish (Leiognathus equulus) as much as 31.23% and largehead hairtail (Trichiurus lepturus) of 23.52%. The catch per unit effort (CPUE) average of mini bottom trawl was 44.77 kg/trip. Mainly fish (more than 95%) caught in small size compared it’s the maximum attainable length (L-max), with all the weight ranges from 0.3 to 520 g and more than 98% sized 0.3-80 g. Mini bottom trawl catches many types of fish and small size; therefore, mini bottom trawl is classified as a type of fishing gear with a very low selectivity level.

Ikan pari merupakan salah satu jenis ikan yang banyak didaratkan berasal dari Selatan Jawa. Salah satu jenis ikanpari yang belum banyak dilakukan penelitian adalah ikan pari lampengan (Mobula japanica). Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui tentang perikanan dan aspek biologi jenis ikan tersebut di perairan Selatan Jawa sebagai informasi dasar bagi penentuan kebijakan pengelolaan perikanan Elasmobranchii. Penelitian menggunakan metode survei yang berlangsung dari Januari hingga Desember 2010 di Pelabuhan Perikanan Samudera Cilacap-Jawa Tengah. Sejumlah 165 ikan pari yang tertangkap oleh jaring insang diamati tingkat kematangan seksual, tingkat kematangan gonad, jenis kelamin dan ukuran lebar cawannya.Wawancara dilakukan terhadap para nelayan dan nahkoda kapal yang menangkap ikan pari lampengen tersebut secara langsung dan atau oleh enumerator. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tangkapan per satuan usaha (CPUE) ikan pari lampengan bervariasi, yakni tertinggi pada bulan Juli (22,6 kg/ hari) dan terendah pada bulan Oktober (6,6 kg/hari). Frekuensi lebar tubuh ikan pari lempengen terendah terdapat pada ukuran antara 100-140 cmdenganmodus 120 cmyang termasuk kelompokmuda, sedangkan ukuran antara 150- 200 cm dengan modus 170 cm, termasuk kelompok dewasa. Frekuensi lebar tubuh tertinggi terdapat pada ukuran antara 200-260 cmdenganmodus 230 cm. Ikan pari lempengen sedikitnya terdiri atas 3 kelompok umur dengan modus sebaran lebar tubuh masing-masing 120, 170, dan 230 cm. Hubungan lebar tubuh (y) dan panjang klasper (x)mengikuti persamaan y=0,3784e0,0131x (r2=0,85), semakin bertambah lebar tubuh semakin bertambah panjang klaspernya.Perbandingan kelamin jantan dan betina adalah tidak seimbang (1,5:1). Sebagian besar kelompok umur ikan pari lampengan yang tertangkap tergolong usia muda, yang belummencapai pertumbuhan optimum(growth over fishing). Stingray is one of the species of fish that many landed came from the South of Java. One of the species that have not many research is JapaneseDevilray (Mobula japanica). The purpose of this study was to determine fisheries and biological aspects of Japanese Devilray, Mobula japanica in Indian Ocean as basic information for managing the elasmobranches fisheries. This study was conducted from January to December 2010 in the Ocean Fishing Port of Cilacap, Central Java. A total number of 165 individu of M. japanica caught by seine net and tuna longline were observed during the sampling periods. Body wide, sex, and gonadmaturation of those fishes were analyzed. Interviewswere also done to the fisherman and fishing master. The results showed that the body width of stingrays, M. japanica had the lowest frequency between 100-140 cm with mode of 120 cm,and grouped as young fish.Other groups has body width between 150-200 cm with mode 170 cm, and grouped as adult fishes. While the frequency of the highest body width was between 200-260 cm and 230 cmmode. At least, there were 3 cohorts ofM. japanica found in this study with the body width mode of 120, 170 and 230 cm. Exponential relationship between body width (y) and claspers’ length (x) was observed forM. japanica, that expressed by equation: y=0.3784e 0.0131x (r2=0.85), that mean the more width fish body, the more increase claspers’ length. Unbalance sex ratio of 1.5:1 was observed for this fish. CPUE for M. japanica were varied between 6,6 kg/day during October and 22,6 kg/day 0n July. Most of fish caught were young fishes under their maturity stages that indicated a tendency of growth over fishing.

Mackerel scad (Decapterus macarellus) is one of the important economical caught in the Indian Ocean West Sumatra waters captured using purse seine. Increased production of mackerel scad will lead to increased exploitation, causing population changes. Therefore, research was carried out to find out the biological aspects of the fish so that resource management can be done. The sampling was conducted in Lampulo, Sibolga, and Air Bangis from February to November 2016 with total samples of 716 fishes. This research was conduct to study some biological aspects which consist of size distribution, length-weight relationship, sex ratio, gonad maturity level, the length at first capture, and length of the first maturity in Indian ocean west Sumatera waters. The results showed that the size of the mackerel scad had ranged between 16 - 33.6 cm FL and the average was 24.5 cm. Growth patterns are allometric negative, sex ratio male and female in an unbalanced condition. The mackerel scad is most caught by purse seine in maturity condition. The average length at first captured was 25.08 cm FL and length at first mature was 20.47 cm FL. These were an ideal biological condition and must be maintained because it provides an opportunity for fish to increase the population. The mesh size purse must follow the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Regulation Number 71/2016 that adjusted for minimum at 1 inch. Keywords: Mackerel scad, Indian Ocean, purse seine

The length – weight relationship (LWR), condition factor (K), sex ratio, gonadosomatic index (G S I) and hepatosomatic index (H S I) of 412 specimens of Pseudotolithu s s enegalensis (Valenciennes, 1833) from Tombo , a coastal fishing community in the western rural district of Sierra Leone were studied for twelve months . Samples used for the study were collected from the catches of artisanal fishers and measurement s of length and weight of samples were done in situ using the facilities of the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources. Samples for the reproductive study were preserved in an ice box and taken to the laboratory of the Department of Aquaculture and Fisheries Management, Njala University , Sierra Leone for analysis. The parameters "a" and "b" of the length - weight relationship were estimated using the equation described by Ricker ( W = aL b ) while the condition factor was calculated using Fulton`s equation (K = W1 00 / L 3 ) . The reproductive biology of the fish was estimated using Gonadosomatic index ( GSI ) and Hepatosomatic index ( H S I ) . The combined LWR for both sexes showed that a, b and r values were – 2.57 , 3. 3 5 and 0. 899 , respectively. The r – values obtained show a strong linear relationship between the length and weight of the species. The length - weight relationship indicated allometric growth for P . senegalensis in the study area. The condition factor (K) varied from 0.64 – 1.0 ; this may be attributed to environmental conditions of the water . The species clearly exhibited a positive allometric growth pattern ( tα ( 2) , 0.05, 411 > 1.965) . The sex ratio of males to females was 1:1. 15 and was not significantly different from the expected 1:1 ratio. Estimation of GSI and HSI was carried out from December, 2010 to May, 2011 to determine the spawning behaviour of P. senegalensis . The mean GSI obtained indicate d that March and April , respectively are the two peak spawning period for the species . Gonado somatic index ranged between 1.1 % and 2.8% for the females. The results of this study revealed that P. senegalensis doe s not have obligatory spawning month but exhibit multiple spawning behaviour. T he length - w eight relationships and condition factor of the study indicated that the fish were thriving very well in the coastal water of Sierra Leone. Sustainable management of the species , therefore , require s that the environment be protected against anthropogenic pollution and imposition of closed fishing season especially during the t wo peak spawning period is recommended to enable the species recruit effectively.

The body characteristics and yield indices of Clarias gariepinus, Bagrus bajad, Synodontis nigrita, Labeo senegalensis and Mormyrus rume from lower Benue River in Nigeria were determined in this study using 60 samples each for the fish species. Length, weight and fillet correlations were also determined during the study. Results obtained showed that M. rume, L. senegalensis and C. gariepinus had the highest percentage of edible parts (≥ 55%) compared to the other species (≤ 39%). Concerning correlations of the fillet with the morphological variables, results obtained suggest that fillet yield is independent of fish size (except for C. gariepinus which was positively correlated). Also, only samples of L. senegalensis showed isometric growth pattern; the other fish species had either positive (C. gariepinus and B. bajad) or negative (S. nigrita and M. rume) allometric growth. While the difference in fillet yield and body characteristics was attributed to the structural anatomy and other biological dynamics of the fishes, this study could not establish a connection between fillet yield and the length-weight relationship. It was concluded that M. rume, L. senegalensis and C. gariepinus would be better export products because of their higher fillet yields.
