Preliminary biological data on Pomadasys incisus (Osteichthyes: Haemulidae) in the Aegean Sea, Greece
Abstract
The present paper gives, for the first time, some biological data concerning Pomadasys incisus in the
Argolikos Gulf (C. Aegean Sea). The bastard grunt (Pomadasys incisus) is a thermophilic species well
adapted in the above area, but the status of fishery suggests an overexploitation. The sex ratio was in
favour of males. The length frequency distribution did not differ between the sexes. Growth in weight was
estimated by means of the length-weight relationship. Reproduction seemed to take place in summer. Certain
morphometric characters appeared to be useful while comparing populations among the different
populations in the Mediterranean.
