This study aimed to describe and compare the morphological characteristics of saccular otoliths (sagittae) in the protandrous hermaphrodite Sarpa salpa and the synchronous hermaphrodite Serranus scriba collected from the Bizerte site located in northwestern Tunisia, and to examine the effect of hermaphroditism type on the otolith shape and size at the inter- and intraspecific levels, using elliptical Fourier analysis. At the interspecific level, a significant bilateral asymmetry in shape was observed between the left and right otoliths. At the intraspecific level, a significant bilateral asymmetry in shape was detected between the left and right otoliths only in S. scriba. Discriminant function analysis (DFA) produced two separate main groups corresponding to the two species, and intrasexually differentiated between left and right otoliths in S. salpa. In addition, a significant bilateral asymmetry was found in Lo, Wo, Ao, and Po in S. salpa and in Po only in synchronous S. scriba. Thus, protandrous hermaphroditism did not affect otolith shape in S. salpa, but showed an apparent bilateral asymmetry in otolith size. However, synchronous hermaphroditism exhibited a significant bilateral asymmetry in otolith shape and Po only in S. scriba. The causes of this significant inter- and intraspecific bilateral asymmetry observed in otolith shape and size were discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Mullet is the most heavily fished species in Tunisia, accounting for one-third of the freshwater fish harvest. To ensure the continuity and development of fisheries in the country, Tunisian reservoirs have been stocked with Mugilidae fry collected from coastal and estuarine areas. The quantities of fry introduced and mullet landings were correlated. To determine the spatial distribution and abundance of mullets in these fisheries, a multi-mesh gillnet was used in 10 reservoirs. The results showed a weak global correlation between the fry introduced and mullet landings, while the correlation of these variables in each reservoir separately revealed a high correlation in all the reservoirs, except for Ghezala reservoir. The fishing survey revealed that the numerical yield varied significantly from one reservoir to another. Sidi Saad reservoir recorded the highest yield of mullet (196.52 fish/1000 m
2 of nets), while a lower yield was recorded in Lahjar, Seliana, Mellegue, Laabid, Ghezala, Bezirekh, Bouheurtma, Sidi Salem, and Sidi Barrak reservoirs. The harvested mullets' sizes ranged from 14 to 65 cm, indicating good growth conditions in the Tunisian reservoirs. Our findings demonstrate a high potential for mullet production in the country; therefore, we recommend the sustainable development of this sector. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

- Abstract
Lambda-cyhalothrin (λ-cyh) is a potential pyrethroid insecticide widely used in pest control. The presence of pyrethroids in the aquatic ecosystem may induce adverse effects on non-target organisms such as the sea urchin. This study was conducted to assess the toxic effects of λ-cyh on the fatty acid profiles, redox status, and histopathological aspects of Paracentrotus lividusgonads following exposure to three concentrations of λ-cyh (100, 250 and 500 µg/L) for 72 h. The results showed a significant decrease in saturated fatty acid (SFAs) with an increase in monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFAs) and polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFAs) levels in λ-cyh treated sea urchins. The highest levels in PUFAs were recorded in the eicosapentaenoic acids (C20:5n-3), docosahexaenoic acids (C22:6n-3) and arachidonic acids (C20:4n-6) levels. The λ-cyh intoxication promoted oxidative stress with an increase in hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), malondialdehyde (MDA) and advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP) levels. Furthermore, the enzymatic activities and non-enzymatic antioxidants levels were enhanced in all exposed sea urchins, while the vitamin C levels were decreased in 100 and 500 µg/L treated groups. Our biochemical results have been confirmed by the histopathological observations. Collectively, our findings offered valuable insights into the importance of assessing fatty acids’ profiles as a relevant tool in aquatic ecotoxicological studies.

Clupeoid fisheries ,Reproduction - Abstract
La squille Squilla mantis (L., 1758) est un Stomapode très abondant le long des côtes tunisiennes. Cette ressource benthique est considérée comme rejet et elle n’est pas exploitée en Tunisie par défaut de tradition de consommation. La haute valeur commerciale de la squille sur les marchés internationaux incite à viser la pêche de cette espèce en vue de l’exporter. Ce travail représente la première base de données se rapportant à l’éco-biologie et aux qualités biochimiques de la squille S. mantis des eaux tunisiennes. Il a pour objectifs la connaissance des aspects relatifs à la biologie de la squille, notamment sa distribution, sa reproduction, sa croissance, ainsi que les opportunités d’exploitation de cette ressource. Dans cette étude, on a analysé les campagnes de pêche des squilles dans les trois golfes de la Tunisie ainsi que l’effet des facteurs environnementaux et spatiotemporels sur l’abondance de cette espèce. Le suivi des indices d’abondance de cette ressource a montré que les captures de cette espèce sont très influencées par l’effet de l’heure de la journée, du mois, de la saison, de la profondeur, de la luminosité, du cycle lunaire et de l’état de la mer. La répartition bathymétrique des squilles des eaux tunisiennes se situe entre 6 et 60 m. Les meilleurs rendements sont obtenus la nuit en présence de lune et surtout en mauvais temps. La cartographie des indices d’abondance de la squille dans les golfes de Tunis, de Hammamet et de Gabès a montré que ce dernier présente le stock le plus important en S. mantis par rapport aux deux autres golfes. L’étude de la biologie de reproduction a montré que la sex-ratio est en faveur des mâles qui dominent quelque soit la période et la zone de pêche. En Tunisie, S. mantis atteint sa maturation pour la première fois à une taille moyenne de 145,64 ; 150,63 et 155,25 mm respectivement pour les squilles du golfe de Tunis, du golfe de Hammamet et du golfe de Gabès en se basant sur le critère de l’état de développement des glandes cémentaires. L’étude histologique a montré que le cycle sexuel de cette espèce est décomposé en trois phases : la maturation de décembre à avril ; la ponte d’avril à août ; la récupération et repos sexuel entre septembre et novembre. C’est une espèce qui appartient aux espèces à ponte unique dont la fécondité de la femelle croît proportionnellement moins vite que le cube de la longueur totale. La fonction mathématique de Von Bertalanffy a permis de montrer que dans les trois golfes de la Tunisie, la croissance des femelles est inférieure à celle des mâles. Le taux de croissance est supérieur pour les squilles du golfe de Gabès par rapport à celui du golfe de Hammamet et du golfe de Tunis. La population totale est composée de 3 classes de taille (1 classe par an) avec une durée de vie maximale estimée à 3 ans. La taille moyenne et la croissance relative des mâles et des femelles des squilles sont similaires. Cependant, il existe une différence significative entre les caractéristiques morphométriques des squilles des trois régions étudiées, ce qui permet de déduire qu’il y a probablement 3 populations différentes. L’étude biochimique a dévoilé qu’il y a une variation spatiotemporelle des taux des lipides totaux et des acides gras entre les gonades et la chair de la squille qui pourrait être attribuée au cycle de vie de cette espèce. La chair des squilles des golfes de Hammamet et de Tunis a été caractérisée par des taux de lipides élevées à la fin de la saison hivernale et au début de la saison printanière. Le régime alimentaire de la squille qui est composé essentiellement de crustacés et de petits poissons s’est révélé comme le principal facteur ayant une influence sur sa composition biochimique. S. mantis des eaux tunisiennes est riche principalement en protéines, en Acides Aminés et en acides gras polyinsaturés de type n-3 qui sont très bénéfiques pour la santé humaine. Ces résultats permettent d’orienter le consommateur vers l’utilisation de ces crustacés au moment où les profils lipidiques sont les plus favorable The Spot-tail Mantis Shrimp, Squilla mantis (L., 1758) is found in the Tunisian coasts especially in the Gulfs of Gabes, Hammamet and Tunis. S. mantis is a species which has little economic importance in the Tunisian market and it is considered as a by-catch, but its abundance in this area makes it a relatively important species for fisheries. This work represents the first database in eco-biology and biochemical qualities of S. mantis in the Tunisian waters. This study aims to contributing of the biology of the mantis shrimps: distribution, reproduction, growth, and exploitation. The analyses of the trawl surveys and the effect of spatiotemporal and environmental factors on the abundance of S. mantis have been made. Several factors have an influence on the catches of S. mantis; such as time of day, month, season, depth, brightness, the lunar cycle and sea conditions. Additionally, the cartography of the abundance indices of mantis shrimp shows that S. mantis distribution in the Gulf of Hammamet and Tunis are significantly lower than those in the Gulf of Gabes. The life cycle has an important influence on the catchability of this species. The bathymetric distribution of the mantis shrimp ranged from 6 to 60 m in the Tunisian waters. The highest yields are reported at night with moon, especially in bad weather. The study of reproductive biology shows that the sex-ratio of S. mantis is variable with time and area and the proportion of females was significantly lower than that of males. Sizes at first sexual maturity (Lm50) for females ranged between 145.64, 150.63, and 155.25 mm for the mantis shrimp respectively captured from the Gulf of Tunis, Hammamet and Gabes when considering maturity by the gonads and cement glands development. The sexual cycle of this species can be split into three phases: maturation from December to April, spawning from April to August, retrieval and sexual rest between September and November. S.mantis is a single spawning species, the fecundity of the female’s increases proportionally less than the cube of the total length. The mathematical function of Von Bertalanffy demonstrated that in the three Gulfs of Tunisia, female growth is lower than that of males. The growth rate is higher for mantis shrimp captured in the Gulf of Gabes comparing to the Gulf of Hammamet and Tunis. The population is composed by three size classes (one class per year) with a maximum life of 3 years. The average size and the relative growth for males and females are similar. However, the significant difference between the morphometric characteristics of the three regions studied allows deducing the presence of three populations of S. mantis. The biochemical characterization of the S. mantis showed that there is a spatiotemporal variation in the rates of total lipids and fatty acids in the gonads and the flesh. The variable amounts of fatty acids can be attributed to life cycle of this species. The flesh of this species was characterized by high lipid levels at the end of the winter and early spring in Hammamet and Tunis Gulfs. The biochemical differences due to feeding habits of S. mantis which is composed mainly by crustaceans and small fish may have a significant effect on food intake. Tunisian S. mantis is mainly rich in protein, Amino acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids n-3, which are a healthy item in human diet. These results guide the consumer to use these crustaceans when lipid profiles are considered. Submitted Squilla mantis Eco-biologie pêche
