The study on the striped seabream in the Gulf of Tunis reveals its growth parameters and exploitation rate, showing that the stock is not overexploited and indicating the length class that gives highest yield.
Despite the high commercial value of the striped seabream Lithognathus mormyrus (Linnaeus, 1758) in the Gulf of Tunis, biological data on its age, growth and exploitation rate are lacking. With the aim of estimating growth parameters, 516 individuals, ranging from 6-27.5 cm total length and from 3.5-293.5 g total weight, were collected from the artisanal fishing fleet between February 2014 and July 2016. The somatic growth presented a positive allometry and was described by the equation TW = 6.54 10(-3)TL(3.213). The monthly analysis of the marginal increment of the otoliths revealed that only one annulus was deposited per year. The estimated von Bertalanffy growth parameters were: L-infinity = 30.18 cm, k = 0.303 year(-1) and t(0) = -1.42 years. Total and natural instantaneous rates of mortality were respectively Z = 0.784 year(-1) and M = 0.698 year(-1). Exploitation rate (E = 0.1) showed that the Gulf of Tunis stock of L. mormyrus is not overexploited. The estimated length class giving highest yield (Lopt) was 17.15 +/- 1.71 cm.
