The length-weight relationships (LWRs), condition factor (Kn), growth, mortality and exploitation status of three polynemid fishes, i.e., Filimanus xanthonema (Valenciennes, 1831), Polynemus melanochir (Valenciennes, 1831) and Polynemus paradiseus (Linnaeus, 1758) from Batang Lassa River estuary were estimated. Fish samples were caught during April 2019 to September 2020 using the ESBN (locally called Gnian) having 1.25 to 4.00 cm mesh size. The total length (TL) and body weight of each individual fish was measured to the nearest 0.1 cm and 0.01 g respectively. The growth coefficients (b) for F. xanthonema, P. melanochir and P. paradiseus, were 2.880, 2.717 and 2.724 with the R2 values 0.956, 0.972 and 0.936 respectively. Estimated growth coefficients indicated a negative allometric growth pattern for all three threadfin fishes. To date, information regarding length-weight relationships for F. xanthonema and P. melanochir is insufficient whereas the information is available for P. paradiseus. About 40–48% of fishes exhibited flat or thin body shape (Kn < 1), 48–50% were rounded or fat (Kn > 1) and only 1–3% of fishes showed proportional body shape (Kn = 1). The growth parameters L∞, K and ϕ’ were estimated at 15.75 cm, 0.95 yr−1 and 2.37 for F. xanthonema; 27.61 cm 0.87 yr−1 and 2.82 for P. melanochir; and 27.30 cm, 0.58 yr−1 and 2.64 for P. paradiseus; respectively. The estimated natural mortality (M) included 2.10, 1.69 and 1.30 yr−1; the fishing mortality (F) 0.57, 0.67 and 0.60 yr−1; and exploitation ratio (E) 0.21, 0.28 and 0.31 for F. xanthonema, P. melanochir and P. paradiseus respectively. The study concluded that the stocks are still under exploitation (E < 0.5) condition. However, the studied Batang Lassa estuary could be a potential nursery ground considering the minimum lengths of 5.0, 3.8 and 4.0 cm for F. xanthonema, P. melanochir and P. paradiseus respectively. Therefore, management initiatives are needed to escape juvenile catches.

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.

The exploitation of Sepat siam (Trichopodus pectoralis, Regan 1910) that include native species of floodplain has been done on many years. One of the main fishing areas of this commodity is Patratani floodplain, Muara Enim Regency, South Sumatra. This commodity has been exploited over a long period and is expected to have a high pressure of fishing. The aim of this paper is to compare the utilization of sepat siam resources based on growth, mortality, and exploitation parameters between 2010 and 2017. Fish samples were collected monthly started from March to December in 2010, and April to December in 2017. The sample got from local fishers who fished around Patratani flood-plain waters. Sepat siam samples were measured on length (cm) and weight (gram) every month. The analysis has concluded based on the condition factor in both years. The growth parameters were analyzed by FiSATII software. The result of FiSAT II analysis drawn the growth factor was 0.86 in 2010, and have been growing slow to be 0.55 in 2017. The length infinitive in 2010 was around 21.5 cm and decreased to 18.3 in 2017. The other results showed that the exploitation level decreased from 0.61 in 2010 to 0.53 in 2017. The exploitation rate proved that the utilization of sepat siam was decreased but sill on overfishing conditions. The length size of sepat siam related to the optimum mesh size fishing gears was decreasing in 2017 compared to 2010. The age analysis shows for 21.5 cm of the infinitive length is achieved for 7 months in 2010, while 18.3 cm of that is reached for 10,5 months in 2017.Keywords:Exploitation levelFloodplainSepat siamABSTRAKKegiatan penangkapan Sepat siam (Trichopodus pectoralis, Regan 1910) yang merupakan spesies asli ikan rawa banjiran sudah dilakukan bertahun-tahun.

The growth and condition factor of rivulated parrotfish (Scarus rivulatus) was studied in Kulisusu Bay of  North Buton Southeast Sulawesi from April to July 2019.  Fish samples were collected using gillnets of 11/2, 2, and 21/2 inches mesh size. Growth parameters were analyzed following von Bertalanffy formula using ELEFAN I software of package program of FiSAT II. A total of 300 fish individuals was caught  ranging from 145-300 mm in the total length and 63.8-461.8g in weight. The length–weight relationship of male was isometric, while female and combined sexes were negative allometric. The von Bertalanffy growth models for male, female, and combined sexes, were Lt = 310.8{1- e -0.89(t-0.011)}; Lt = 230.48{1- e -0,46(t+0,16)};  Lt = 304.5{1- e -1,2(t-0,064)}, respectively. A high value of b in male indicates this fish is getting enough food. The relative condition factor of fish varied from 0.80 to 3.45. The male has greather condition factors than female fish during this research. This shows male fish in good condition.

This study aimed to determine the growth patterns, mortality, and exploitation status of two species of Alestidae in the New Calabar River, Nigeria. For this purpose, fish samples were collected monthly from three landing sites from the local fishermen using gill nets (mesh sizes: 15-25mm), beach seine (mesh sizes: 2.3-10mm), and cast nets (mesh sizes: 15 -25mm). The length-weight relationship revealed exponent “b” value for Brycinus nurse was 3.54 and 3.21 for Brycinus macrolepidotus while the condition factors were 1.08 and 1.02 for Brycinus nurse and Brycinus macrolepidotus respectively. The growth parameters of Brycinus nurse asymptotic length (L) and growth coefficient (K) were 24.46 cm and 0.52 yr-1, respectively, while those for Brycinus macrolepidotus L was 28.88 cm and K was 0.22 yr-1. The reproductive load (L50/L) ratio was found to be 0.59 and 0.61 for B. nurse and B. macrolepidotus, respectively. Exploitation rate (E) for B. nurse was 0.26 and 0.11 for B. macrolepidotus while length-at-first capture (Lc) was 14.49 cm for B. nurse and 17.64 cm for B. macrolepidotus. The natural mortality was greater than the fishing mortality for both species and Logistic regression of the probability of capture routine values recorded for B. nurse were higher than that of B. macrolepidotus. Maximum exploitation rate (Emax) was less than 0.5 for both B. nurse (0.41) and B. macrolepidotus (0.42). These values were close to the maximum allowable limit; therefore, the species may be unsustainable when fishery intensifies in the future. To ensure sustainable exploitation of the two Alestid species in the area, fishing effort should be regulated.

The limited data and the unreported information about the yields of giant tiger prawn  (Penaeus monodon Fabricius, 1798) in Sebatik caused difficulties in estimating potention and stock status of tiger prawn. The study that could be applied for estimating stock status and management strategy for sustainable shrimp fisheries in Sebatik Waters was the  study about biological characteristics, population parameters and spawning  potential ratio. Samples were obtained from the catch of trammel net by fishers  in some landing areas in Tanjung Aru and the biometric data has been collected during April-December 2018. The growth parameters were obtained from the movement of the monthly mode of carapace length that were based on the Von Bertalanffy growth model. Exploitation status was obtained from exploitation rate of E and length based SPR. The results showed that the mean size of shrimps that was captured by trammel net was 46,9±0,14 mmCL for male and 53,4±0,25 mmCL for female. Most of shrimps were caught before they spawn (Lc=51,2 mmCL<Lm=55,8 mmCL) and tiger prawns spawn throughout the year that the peaks occurred in Agustus dan November-December. Female shrimp has larger size (L∞ jantan=66,25 mmCL; L∞ betina=84,5 mmCL) and faster growth rate( K male=1,27 year-1; K female=1,39 year-1) than the male. The natural mortality of male shrimp was the same as the female (M=1,7 tahun-1) while the fishing mortality of male was higher than female (F male=2,13 tahun-1; F female=1,7 tahun-1). Exploitation status of tiger prawn in Sebatik Waters was fully exploited (E=0,5-0,55) and the shrimp stock has not been on growth overfishing yet according to spawning potential ratio of 34%. The shrimps fishing in Sebatik Waters could continue by avoiding the fishing on the nursery ground.

Highlight ResearchThe fishing area of S. leptolepis in this study was confirmed to be located in Tomini BayThe fish samples were gathered randomly from fishers’ catch using purse seinesThe growth curve for the male and female fish data were both plotted following the trend of the Von Bertalanffy equationThis study estimates the growth parameters, mortality, and exploitation rates of the male and female fish separately.AbstractComprehensive data is required for implementing sustainable fisheries management. Population dynamic and stock assessment aspects of Selaroides leptolepis species in Tomini Bay have not been entirely reported. This study aimed to determine the fishing mortality rate and exploitation status of S. leptolepis in Tomini Bay by calculating Von Bertalanffy growth model parameters (L∞, K, t0) then plotting them into Pauly's empirical equation. The sampling was conducted monthly from April to September 2020 at Gorontalo City Fishing Port. Samples were collected randomly from five commercial fishing vessels shortly after the fishermen landed their catch at the fishing port. All fish samples were confirmed to be obtained by the fishermen from Tomini waters. The growth parameters of the samples were analyzed using FiSAT II based on Von Bertalanffy mathematical model. While the mortality and exploitation values were calculated manually using Pauly's equation. The study showed that the growth parameter values of S. leptolepis in Tomini Bay were 245.47 mm, 0.49/year, and -3.04/year for males, while 227.80 mm, 0.63/year, and -2.72/year for females separately for L∞, K, and t0. The total, natural, and fishing mortality rates were 3.06/year, 0.61/year, and 2.45/year for males and 0.99/year, 0.74/year, and 0.25/year for females. The analysis results showed that the female's natural mortality (M) was higher than the male. In contrast, the fishing mortality (F) and total mortality (Z) of male fish exceed the female. The exploitation value of males (E=0.80) was greater than that of females (E=0.26).

AbstractThis study was carried out to determine some bioecological characteristics of Mastacembelus mastacembelus, which is the only species of Mastacembelidae family living in Turkey. Fish samples were caught between 2014–2018 from Keban Dam Lake, one of the most important reservoirs of the upper Euphrates Basin. In totally, 348 Mastacembelus mastacembelus individuals were examined, including 178 males and 170 females. The age distributions were defined between the I–XV age groups. Total lengths ranged from 14.20 to 81.80 cm in males and from 15.60 to 77.30 cm in females. Total length–weight relationships were calculated as W = 0.0083 × TL2.6516 for males, W = 0.0043 × TL2.8310 for females and W = 0.0063 × TL2.7256 for all population, and the growth type was estimated as “negative allometric”. The von Bertalanffy growth parameters for all individuals were computed as L∞ = 90.99, k = 0.13, t0 = − 0.45. The total (Z), natural (M), fishing (F) mortality rates and exploitation rate (E) were estimated as Z = 0.313, M = 0.270, F = 0.043 and E = 0.137, respectively. The length at first capture (Lc) was found as 50.72. The optimum, maximum and economic yields were calculated as E0.5 = 0.361; Emax = 0.776; E0.1 = 0.664, respectively.

The study evaluated the fish community assemblage in the sections of the Subri river, the Ankobra river, and the “galamsey” pond within the Prestea community as impacted by alluvial mining activities. Gill nets of length 10 m and mesh size 1.27 cm were used to trap fish of average length 25.25 cm whilst cane baskets were used to trap fish of average width 10.40 cm using the catch and recapture method. All the 46 fish samples identified belong to 10 genera and 5 families. The Chichlidae was the dominant family, accounting for 60% of the total families observed. With an H’ index of 1.57 the Subri river had the most fish diversity in comparison with the Ankobra river and the “galamsey” pond, which had 1.21 and 0.71, respectively. Similarly, the Subri river had a more complex fish community structure than the Ankobra and “galamsey” pond. The dominant species, Oreochromis niloticus, has not yet been evaluated by the IUCN, but the least dominated Brienomyrus brachyistus could be regarded as “least concern”. Notwithstanding, these fish are essential for food by the local communities. There is a possibility that the alluvial mining might have influenced the complexities of fish species communities. Thus conservation efforts must be promoted to sustain fish communities and overall freshwater ecosystem health.

Abstract The objective of the present study was to examine the growth pattern and condition factors of the naleh fish, Barbonymus gonionotus Bleeker, 1849 in Nagan River, Nagan Raya District, Aceh Province, Indonesia. The sampling was conducted for 12 months from January 2016 to December 2016 using the explorative survey method. The sampling locations were determined based on the information given by local fishermen. A total of 761 fish samples were collected during the study. The Linear Allometric Model (LAM), Fulton’s and Relative Weight conditions factors were utilized to analyze the length-weight relationship and condition factor of the fish using growth parameters. The results showed that the highest coefficient of b was recorded in December, where the b value of males were 3.82 and 4.23 for the females with the average b value of males and females were 2.92 indicating an isometric growth pattern. The average Fulton’s condition factor (K) was 2.28 and the average Relative weight (Wr) condition factor was 100.59. It is concluded that fish had the isometric growth pattern and based on K and Wr value, the result implies that the waters are still in a good condition. Furthermore, the availability of food sources, low competitors, and low predators indicate that the aquatic environment is in a stable condition.
