Since the quality of these parameters’ estimations affect species stock assessment directly, growth analysis should be improved. Many functions are used for growth modeling, but the most commonly used model in marine stock assessment is the von Bertalanffy growth function. In order to enhance the estimation of growth parameters of <i>Pomatomus saltatrix</i> (Linnaeus, 1766), the von Bertalanffy growth function was determined via the Markov Chain Monte Carlo. In total, 288 individuals (158 females, 103 males, and 27 with undetermined sex) were collected during 12 months, from July 2020 to June 2021, along the eastern coast of Tunisia in the Mediterranean Sea (Monastir, Sousse and Mahdia). The individual ageing data was obtained from the examination of whole sagittal otoliths with binoculars under reflected light. The length–weight relationships (total weight (<i>TW</i>) ± 0.01 g; total length (<i>TL</i>) ± 0.1 cm) were <i>TW</i> = 0.011 × <i>TL</i>^2.974 (<i>r</i>² = 0.952, <i>p</i> &lt; 0.05) for females, <i>TW</i> = 0.014 × <i>TL</i>^2.897(<i>r</i>² = 0.926, <i>p</i> &lt; 0.05) for males and <i>TW</i> = 0.093 × <i>TL</i>^2.205 (<i>r</i>² = 0.819, <i>p</i> &lt; 0.05) for undetermined sex. The adjusted with the Markov Chain Monte Carlo von Bertalanffy growth parameters were <i>TL</i>_∞ = 31.63 ± 1.32 cm, <i>K</i> = 0.46 ± 0.04 year^–1 for females and <i>TL</i>_∞ = 30.33 ± 1.31 cm, <i>K</i> = 0.49 ± 0.05 year^–1 for males.

The biochemical analyses performed in the tissues of two fish species revealed shifting in the prooxidant-antioxidant reactions towards the lipid peroxidation processes in liver, illustrated decreased activity of alanine aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase in the organ and its increase in serum of the round goby, thus showing more pronounced oxidative damages of hepatocytes as compared to the knout goby and was confirmed histologically. Necrosis of single hepatocytes was detected in 44.44% of the round goby in contrast to 28% in the knout goby. The histopathological studies of gills, kidneys and liver revealed 22 alterations in the round goby and 18 in the knout goby, that belonged to five types of patterns: circulatory disorders, inflammatory reactions, progressive and regressive changes, benign tumours. In liver (lipoid vacuolization of hepatocytes) and kidney (vacuolization and hyaline-droplet degeneration of nephrocytes, nephrocalcinosis, local necrosis of the renal tubules) regressive changes dominated and were registered as much more common for the round goby. The most histopathological lesions in gobies’ gills (hyperplasia of the respiratory epithelium and fusion of the gill lamellae) were found progressive and related to the compensatory-adaptive reactions. Thus, the obtained results indicate a moderate chronic toxic effects of contaminants on fish in Apollonova Bay, and testify greater sensitivity of the round goby to the level of mixed pollution /Cu content in this water body, and hence make it more preferable for biodiagnostics throughout the water regions.
