The biometric analysis was performed on more than eleven thousand fish. Growth and mortality indices were calculated including infinite length (L∞=88cm), growth coefficient (K=0.3 (yr -1 )), growth performance index (Ф=4.19), natural mortality (M= 0.58(yr -1 )), fishing mortality (F=0.3 (yr -1 )), total mortality (Z=0.88±0.1 (yr -1 )) and exploitation coefficient (E = 0.34 (yr -1 )) as well as length time at time zero (-0.41). Relative production per recruitment, relative biomass per recruitment and exploitation rate of K. pelamis were Y'/R p =0.01, B' /R p =0.4 and U=0.22, respectively. The present study showed that the K. pelamis had desirable stock conditions and fish stocks have not reached 'overfished' status. The Pobj value is 1 0, the fishery show considered medium desirable. According to the terms and situation mentioned conditions assessed, and considering the sustainable fishing requirements, it is possible to increase the catch of this species in the south of the country.","PeriodicalId":14599,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Ichthyology","volume":"8 1","pages":"160-169"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48290768","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The checklist contains 3585 nominal species names (including 77 as incertae sedis and 50 not available names) representing 2310 valid species in 324 genera. Species and genera are grouped within seven families (Agorreta et al. 2013): Ryacichthyidae, Odontobutidae, Butidae, Eleotrididae, Milyeringidae, Thalasseleotrididae and Gobiidae. The formerly family Xenisthmidae is included in Eleotrididae. The family Gobiidae is the largest marine fish family with 2086 species, one fourth of Gobiidae inhabiting freshwaters and grouped in nine subfamilies (Agorreta et al. 2013): Amblyopinae, Gobiinae, Gobionellinae, Oxudercinae, Sicydiinae, Kraemeriinae, Microdesminae, Ptereleotrinae, and Schindleriinae. The most speciose genus is Eviota with 123 species, followed by Trimma (107 species) and Rhinogobius (86 species); 20 genera contain 21 to 39 species, 42 genera include 10 to 20 species, 102 genera are monotypic, whereas 55 contain only two species and 104 genera contain 3–9 species.

The aim of this study is to prove that the growth period of some demersal fish species is biphasic. Two growth models (two-phase growth model (TPGM) and VBGM) were used to estimate the growth parameters of the mentioned species and the results were compared by Akaike's Information Criterion (AIC). In 11 cases out of 15 which were tested for different sexes and combined sets, TPGM was determined to reveal more reliable estimations and provides better goodness of fit according to Akaike's Information Criterion (AIC), Δ i, and w criteria. It is also found that VBGM tended to yield higher L ∞ values and therefore should not be considered as the unique model. It is concluded that the two-phase growth model was the best model for overall cases in this study and it is recommended that comparisons should be performed among different models before the construction of a growth curve for any fish species.","PeriodicalId":14599,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Ichthyology","volume":"8 1","pages":"125-133"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45058649","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
