La premiére maturité sexuelle est atteinte entre 8 et 12 mois; la taille de ces individus est alors au minimum de 40 mm. Le rapport gonadosomatique moyen maximum des femelles est de 25% et celui des mâles de 1%. La saison de ponte est unique mais la ponte est séquentielle, et la fécondité potentielle par acte de ponte est comprise entre 998 et 5100 ovocytes selon la taille de Ia femelle. La croissance gonadique succède à la croissance somatique. D´aprés l'évolution des valeurs des coefficients de condition, les mâles ont une stratégie différente de celle des femelles dans l'utilisation des apports énergétiques au cours de la maturation des gonades et de la ponte.

The feeding habits of Sparus aurata in the Mellah lagoon (northeastern Algeria) was studied using three simple methods (frequency of occurrence of prey, numeric percentage and percentage weight) and a feeding coefficient. Monthly variations in the stomach vacuity were also examined. The diet includes a wide variety of food organisms, fish and molluscs bivalvia constituting the favorite preys. A relationship between feeding activity and body condition was observed. Résumé : Le régime alimentaire de la dorade Sparus aurata dans la lagune du Mellah (Nord-Est de l'Algérie) est étudié en utilisant trois indices simples (fréquence des proies, pourcentage en nombre, pourcentage en poids) et un coefficient alimentaire. Les variations mensuelles du coefficient de vacuité stomacale sont également examinées. Les proies ingérées sont variées, avec une préférence pour les poissons et les mollusques bivalves. Une relation est observée entre l'activité trophique et la condition des poissons.

Its age, growth and reproduction were studied. Fish ranged in size from 157 to 610 mm total length and weighed from 60 to 4000 ...

In several Mediterranean fish species, alternative migration patterns exist between individuals entering coastal lagoons that offer favourable conditions for growth and those staying in the sea where environmental conditions are less subject to rapid and stressful change. Whether these coexisting strategies are phenotypically plastic or include a role for local adaptation through differential survival needs to be determined. Here, we explore the genetic basis of alternate habitat use in western Mediterranean populations of the gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata). Samples from lagoonal and open-sea habitats were typed for three candidate gene microsatellite loci, seven anonymous microsatellites and 44 amplified fragment length polymorphism markers to test for genotype-environment associations. While anonymous markers globally indicated high levels of gene flow across geographic locations and habitats, non-neutral differentiation patterns correlated with habitat type were found at two candidate microsatellite loci located in the promoter region of the growth hormone and prolactin genes. Further analysis of these two genes revealed that a mechanism based on habitat choice alone could not explain the distribution of genotype frequencies at a regional scale, thus implying a role for differential survival between habitats. We also found an association between allele size and habitat type, which, in the light of previous studies, suggests that polymorphisms in the proximal promoter region could influence gene expression by modulating transcription factor binding, thus providing a potential explanatory link between genotype and growth phenotype in nature.

Since the publication of the CIESM Exotic Fish Atlas in 2002, 18 new exotic fish species have been recorded and many species have extended their distribution range. Two distinct periods (1977-1982 and 2000-2005) of population explosion were documented for nine cases of invasive fish species just following initiation of invasion. In light of the supposition that the rate of invasion will continue steadily, it is suggested that future research should concentrate on comparative studies of the ecology and life history strategies of the invasive species and their closely related Mediterranean indigenous species as well as application of population dynamics and genetics.

The peak of the reproductive effort occurred in April, May and June. Larger fishes started spawning earlier, and stopped later, than smaller ones. Batch fecundity varied from 4 to 447 oocytes and was positively related to female length and weight. Monthly mean fecundity increased at the beginning of the breeding season and decreased between June and July. Individual mean oocyte diameter ranged from 1·34 to 1·94 mm and was not related to fish length. Monthly mean oocyte size declined throughout the breeding season as water temperature rose. There was no trade-off between number and egg size. The strategy of these sand smelts seemed well adapted to ensure spawning success without endangering their survival. The highest reproductive effort period occurred in such a way that environmental conditions were suitable to the best survival and growth of hatched larvae. When breeding ceased, fishes, particularly the youngest ones, had enough time to improve their condition before overwintering. 1996 The Fisheries Society of the British Isles

These analyses suggested the paraphyly of the genus Liza and also that the separation of Liza, Chelon and Oedalechilus might be unnatural. Moreover, all the species of the genus Mugil plus orthologs of Crenimugil crenilabis clustered together; however, molecular analyses suggested possible introgressions in Mugil cephalus and moreover, that fish identified as Mugil curema could correspond to two different species as already shown by karyotypic analyses.
