The maximum length, weight, and age information of organisms in an ecosystem, moreover, the first records of migrated exotic species are essential in terms of the basis for the studies on population dynamics, stock assessment, and biological activities. Therefore, the recording of such data may be necessary for scientific databases and new related studies. The Blackspot seabream (Red seabream - Pagellus bogaraveo), which belongs to the Sparidae family, is an important seafood which is marketed fresh and frozen around the Mediterranean and the Aegean seas. Nowadays, this species has high prices depending on market demands in domestic markets as a result of overfishing and is also cultured in northern Spain. It is classified as “Near Threatened Species” in the red list due to its decreasing population trend by the IUCN. A single specimen of the Blackspot seabream with 30.7 cm in total length and 390.00 g in total weight, which was angled in the Saros Bay with a handline by a fisherman on February 08, 2019, was obtained from a fishmonger in Çanakkale. Even though there are bigger individuals in the North-east Atlantic probably depending on polar and/or deep-sea gigantism, the mentioned measurement is the proven maximum total length of this species for the Aegean Sea up to the time.

Population dynamics in the marine realm can shape species’ spatial structure and genetic variability between given geographical areas. Connectivity is an important factor of species’ population structure. In this study, we examined the genetic diversity and structure of white seabream (Diplodus sargus, L. 1758) in the eastern Mediterranean basin, using a panel of four microsatellite markers. Recorded low FST values within the study area indicate little evidence of genetic differentiation among populations. Results suggest high gene flow which may imply near-panmixia between populations, indicating the possibility of a probable movement of adult migrants, or strong passive drift at sea in early life stages of the species. To this extent, bibliographically speaking, different species within the Sparidae family favor altered population dynamics patterns with respect to local populations and genetic divergence, in the context of the molecular marker used.

Abstract The present study has been conducted to find out new findings on maximum length and weight values of Umbrina cirrosa in the Bay of Saros (Northern Aegean Sea, Turkey). On September, 11, 2016, a single specimen of Umbrina cirrosa with 68.8 cm total length and 2600.00 g total weight was caught by handline at a depth of 20 m. The provable size is the second largest length ever reported in the all seas of the world

Abstract Katsanevakis, S., Maravelias, C. D., and Kell, L. T. 2010. Landings profiles and potential métiers in Greek set longliners. – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 67: 646–656. A very large number (>14 000) of generally small vessels operate as longliners in Greek seas. The aim of this study was to identify potential set longline métiers, based on a large sample of landings records from all over Greece. Landings data from set longliners between 2002 and 2006, collected from several ports in the Aegean and East Ionian Sea, were used. The landings profiles were grouped using a two-step procedure, the first involving factorial analysis of the log-transformed landing profiles, and the second a classification of the factorial coordinates (hierarchical agglomerative clustering). In all, 13 métiers were identified in the Aegean Sea and 7 in the Ionian Sea. The most important métiers identified were those targeting white sea bream (Diplodus sargus), hake (Merluccius merluccius), common sea bream (Pagrus pagrus), and common pandora (Pagellus erythrinus), and mixed métiers. Varying spatial (within the Aegean and Ionian Seas) and seasonal patterns were evident for the métiers identified, indicating that fisher motivation to engage in a specific métier varies both spatially and temporally.

White sea bream (Diplodus sargus) and brown meagre (Sciaena umbra) were caught from the wild in Aegean Sea (Greece), and studied for their proximate, fatty acid and amino acid composition to evaluate their nutritional value for human consumption and their potential as candidate fish species for Mediterranean aquaculture diversification. Both species exhibited very low muscle fat, ranging at 1%. White sea bream was found to have higher muscle eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docohexaenoic (DHA) contents and total n-3 fatty acids than brown meagre. A superiority of white sea bream in aspects of thrombogenicity was indicated, showing higher atherogenic (0.679) and thrombogenic indices (0.377) comparing to the respective values for brown meagre (0.610 and 0.579). The two-studied species exhibited high-quality protein as food source, with white sea bream showing a higher essential to non-essential amino acid (EAA/NEAA) rate, 0.764 vs 0.704, respectively. The individual to total essential amino acids rates of lysine and leucine were the highest ones for both studied species, while no significant differences were observed among them.
