From June to September 2020, among thirty gram-positive bacteria grown with mannitol salt agar, seventeen Staphylococcus aureus isolates were described. Staphylococcus aureus isolates were described in the initial identification based on the colonial morphology, microscopic analysis, and biochemical tests. The final identification was performed using an automated VITEK-2 compact system. The spa genes were detected by the genotyping method using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. The results showed that the spa gene comprised 19 isolates (63.3%) of S. aureus .

The Snakeskin gourami ( Trichogaster pectoralis ) from Sungai Batang swamp, Indonesia has high commercial value and high pressure on population due to fishing, while the fish growth condition is poorly studied. A total of 848 fish ranging 75-200mm (119.14±18.43mm) (TL) and 5-132g (29.76±14.76g) were sampled to estimate its length-weight relationship and condition factors. Local fishermen mostly collected them using horizontal gill-net and also electrofishing device. Based on the results, the Snakeskin gourami grow allometrically ( b =2.7748-2.8971), indicating that fish becomes slender as the length increases. Total length and weight of female were significantly higher than those of male ( P 0.05). The mean K values for male and female were 1.64±0.24 and 1.66±0.21, respectively, indicating that fish in the swamp is in good condition.

The reproductive biology of Indian halibut, Psettodes erumei , a commercially valuable flatfish species, in the northern Persian Gulf and Oman Sea was studied. A total of 433 specimens were collected monthly from October 2016 to November 2017, and their length, weight, sex, gonad and liver weight, and maturity status were recorded. Monthly variations in Gonado-somatic index showed two obvious peaks in the spawning period in both sexes. Observations from the seasonal maturation curve, the frequency distribution of the female gonadal development stages and the condition factor confirmed recent findings that the spawning periods have two peaks, a higher peak in April-May (spring) and a lower peak in October (autumn). The size at first maturity of females was estimated to be 38.20 cm in total length. The absolute fecundity ranged from 18072 to 332171 eggs while the relative fecundity ranged from 22 to 161 eggs/g. Absolute fecundity was positively correlated with body related parameters (total length/weight) and with gonad weight. Combined, the information provided in this study could be useful for resource managers to set seasonal closure during peak spawning periods and implement minimum size limits above the size at first maturity to let the fish spawn at least once before capture.

This study aimed to assess the temporal variation in fish assemblage in Chabahar Bay mangrove habitat. Baited Remote Underwater Video (BRUV) sampling method was applied to record the fish presence. Fishes were sampled monthly from June 2017 to April 2018 at daylight time (9:00 to 14:00) during high tide. Water temperature, turbidity, and salinity were recorded at the time of sampling. During the study, a total of 17 species belonging to 12 families were identified. A mbassis gymnocephalus was found as the dominant fish throughout the year except in November and December. The most abundant fish fauna in numbers was characterized by the following five species: Ambassis gymnocephalus (53.38%), Sardinella sp. (17.13%), Terapon jarbua (4.79%), Rhabdosargus sarba (3.25%) and Acanthopagrus berda (2.9%). ANOSIM showed that significant differences in the assemblage structure occurred among months (R=0.613, P < 0.001), and the CLUSTER analysis, together with the SIMPROF test showed that December is significantly different in term of fish assemblage. Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) on species-environment correlations revealed that temperature and turbidity were the main parameters influencing fish occurrence in the mangrove habitat of Chabahar Bay. The overall diversity (Shannon–Wiener, Simpson’s Index of Diversity, and Pielou’s evenness), as well as functional diversity indexes (FRic and FDis), was higher in autumn and spring pointing out that the diversity is higher when the temperature had the closest value to averaged value.
本研究旨在评估恰巴哈尔湾红树林生境鱼类群落的时间变化。采用带饵远程水下视频(BRUV)采样法记录鱼的存在。2017年6月至2018年4月,每月在白天(9:00 ~ 14:00)高潮期间取样。在取样时记录水温、浊度和盐度。本研究共鉴定出12科17种。除11月和12月外,裸鱼为全年优势鱼。鱼类区系数量最丰富的5种分别为裸鱼大头鱼(53.38%)、沙丁鱼(17.13%)、斑马鱼(4.79%)、沙纹横纹鱼(3.25%)和细棘鱼(2.9%)。ANOSIM分析结果显示,不同月份的鱼群组合结构存在显著差异(R=0.613, P < 0.001),聚类分析和SIMPROF检验结果显示,12月份的鱼群组合存在显著差异。典型对应分析(CCA)表明,温度和浊度是影响恰巴哈尔湾红树林生境鱼类发生的主要参数。总体多样性(Shannon-Wiener、Simpson’s Index of diversity、Pielou’s even)和功能多样性指数(FRic和FDis)在秋季和春季较高,说明温度与平均值最接近时多样性较高。

An understanding of the stock is a basic requirement for the management of the fishery resources. The endangered mahseer, Tor putitora (Hamilton, 1822) is a commercially important fish distributed extensively in the foothills of Himalayas. Box plots and multivariate statistical tools like Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Discriminant Function Analysis (DFA) were used to delineate the stocks of T. putitora from two Indian rivers, Yamuna and Satluj using 6 meristic and 24 morphometric characteristics. A comparison of the morphometric and meristic characters using box plots revealed variations in eye diameter (ED), length of rostral barbel (LRB), standard length (SL), pre-anal distance (PAD), distance between pectoral and pelvic fin (DPP), distance between pelvic and anal fin (DPA), length of dorsal fin (LDF), length of pectoral fin (LpecF), length of pelvic fin (LpecF) and length of caudal fin (LCF) for distinguishing populations from these two rivers. Upon PCA, the first three principal components accounted for 69.66% of total variance in head parameters whereas for total length, the first 5 principal components accounted for 73.23% of total variance. For meristic characters, the first two PCs explained 75.65% of the total variance. The step-wise DFA retained only one function for morphometric as well as meristic characters explaining 100% of the variance. The Wilks’ lambda tests for morphometric and meristic data indicated differences between the populations of T. putitora from both the rivers.

Light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy were used to portray the cellular constituents lining the olfactory epithelium of teri barb, Puntius terio (Hamilton, 1822) (Cyprinidae: Smiliogastrinae). The olfactory organ holded 16 pairs of lamellae emitted from central raphe, consummate an oviform rosette. The multilamellar olfactory rosette was distinctively placed on the ground of nasal cavity and differentiated by specialized sensory and non-sensory territory. Sensory epithelium covered apical part and linguiform process of lamella while rest part is disguised by non-sensory epithelium. The sensory epithelium had two specific forms: ciliated receptor cells and microvillous receptor cells categorized by staining magnitude, texture and surface morphology. In divergence, the nonsensory epithelium was made up of stratified epithelial cells with microridges, cluster of ciliated non-sensory cells and secretory mucous cells. Basal cells were buried in the mucosa, presumed to be the progenitor of sensory or other supporting cells. Functional implication of cellular components on the olfactory lining was argued with feeding habits and behaviour of fish interested.

Since the taxonomic work of A. Druzhinin in 1973, the number of valid fish species in the southern coast of the Gulf of Aden remained almost unchanged, mainly due to lack of firmness and consistency in the conduct of scientific research. In order to confirm the scientific nomenclature of local fish, we conducted field follow-ups at landing and marketing sites throughout the Hadhramout coast, the Gulf of Aden. A review of all the previous studies and publications shows that some fish species have not been reported from the Gulf of Aden Gulf. Among these species, we collected three syngnathiform fishes including Trachyrhamphus bicoarctatus (Bleeker, 1857) and Hippocampus kelloggi Jordan & Snyder, 1901 from the family Syngnathidae, and Aeoliscus punctulatus (Bianconi, 1854) from the family Centriscidae. Here, we describe the detailed characteristics of these fishes, which are new records for the coast of Hadhramout, Gulf of Aden.
