There was an apparent trend of its seasonal abundance being maximum (up to 58 x 10 3 cells L -1 in May) during late post- monsoon to summer months and complete disap-pearance during monsoon period. Being the most dominant species in microzooplankton community, it had an average annual density of 18 x 10 3 cells L -1 . It flourishes well under higher temperature (30-39 ºC) and salinity (40-150 ‰) conditions. Among phytoplankton, Dunaliella was the dominant one with a highest density of 58 x 10 3 cells mL -1 in April, followed by Chlorella with up to 42 x 10 3 cells mL -1 , in March. The ANOVA test for physical and chemical variables has revealed significant difference (P=0.05) in their values in different months. Except in water temperature and NO 2 -N, no significant difference was observed at various stations as the case with phytoplankton and zooplankton. There was strong positive correlation of Fabrea with water temperature (r=0.866, 0.801), salinity (r=0.966, 0.957), total alkalinity (r=0.717, 0.729) and PO 4 -P (r=0.750, 0.897) while negative correlation with water depth (r=-0.767, -0.757) and pH (r=-0.086, -0.411). Fabrea varies widely in its total length (60-600 µm) and cyst diameter (70-180 µm). The average length of body cilia is 12 µm and the width of each adoral zone of membranelle (AZM) is 10 µm.","PeriodicalId":308766,"journal":{"name":"Oceanography & Fisheries Open access Journal","volume":"161 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122922102","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 study of biology was approached by analyzing the growth and reproduction of the species. The study showed the importance of the landings of sardine (fish of great commercial value). Knowledge of these parameters is essential for a good analysis of population dynamics and for rational and sustainable management of these stocks. The growth study has shown that sardines are fast growing and have a short shelf life. Differential growth between males and females has been observed. The study of the linear growth of combined sex sardines and the model of Von Bertalanffy, revealed that: the growth coefficient „‘k’ ‘is 0.311. The asymptotic length L ∞ is 226.402 mm. Sardines are multiple spawners that spawn several times during the same breeding season. It is noted that the sex ratio is in favor of the males and it seems that the sexual cycle, the size and the geographical distribution are the essential factors which control the variations of the sex ratio in sardines. The large individuals are generally females and the size at first sexual maturity in sardine females has been estimated at L50 = 131.33 mm in total length.

Seahorses compose the bycatch of fisheries with gillnets and mainly trawls but they can be caught indirectly when they are eaten by other fish that are targets of the most varied fishing gear [5-8]. Of the various methods of fishing with hooks, mode “pargueira” is used to catch bottom fishes, which live on rocky, gravel or coral substrates, such as grouper (Epinephelinae), while mode “corrico” is done with baited fishing lines in a moving boat and is intended for the capture of sea bass (Centropomidae) and mackerel (Scombridae), among others [9,10].
