Summary: Early maturation of Atlantic salmon male postsmolts has negative effects on growth and adaptation in aquaculture. This study found that temperature and feeding ration significantly influenced sexual maturation in salmon, with higher temperatures and feeding rations leading to more early maturation.

Summary: Maturation of Atlantic salmon male postsmolts is a concern in aquaculture due to its negative impact on growth, welfare, and seawater readiness. The study assessed the effect of temperature and photoperiod on maturation in male postsmolts and found that rearing salmon at 15 degrees C promoted early maturation. The use of high water temperature and winter signal regimes in the aquaculture industry may increase the risk of early maturation and poor hypo-osmoregulatory performance.

Summary: This study examined the growth and spawning characteristics of wild Channa lucius populations in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. Length-weight relationships and sexual maturity were determined, showing that both female and male fish reach sexual maturity at a length of 21.39 cm. The spawning season begins in December but peaks in May and June.

Summary: This study investigated the status and population characteristics of Percnon gibbesi in three areas of Gran Canaria Island from July 2020 to December 2021. With a sample size of 999 individuals, the reproductive season and length-weight relationships were established. CPEU analysis revealed that the abundance of Percnon gibbesi in the three areas did not conform to the catch quotas set by the Canary Islands Fisheries Law.

Summary: The study conducted a comprehensive assessment of the biological and population parameters of the pearl oyster in Greek waters, providing insights into its growth, longevity, and exploitation levels. The results of the study aim to fill knowledge gaps on the species and establish a reference base for its exploitation as a fishery resource based on an invasive species.

Summary: This study investigated 756 yellowfin tuna caught in the tropical western and central Pacific Ocean, showing that reproductive traits were influenced by various factors, with the main spawning period from September to December and the 50% first maturity FLs of males and females being 111.96 cm and 119.64 cm, respectively.

Summary: This study explores the effect of altitude and parity on the birth weight length ratio (BWLR) in women. The results indicate that the negative effect of altitude on BWLR is weakened for newborns of higher parity.

Summary: This study investigated the reproductive traits of Butis koilomatodon in the Mekong Delta, revealing it to be a multiple spawner species that reproduces throughout the year. The length at first maturity for males was generally higher than females, and batch fecundity increased with fish weight and length. The knowledge gained from this study can serve as a reference for future research and management of this species.

Summary: For the first time, the sex ratio, length-weight relationships, length-length relationships, form factor, and condition factor were calculated for the bartail flathead, Platycephalus indicus, in the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh. The results showed differences in the condition factor among different genders and length classes, and the size at first sexual maturity was 30.2 cm. These findings are important for the conservation and management of this species in the Bay of Bengal and nearby nations.

Summary: Monitoring studies were conducted from 2008 to 2019 to investigate the interannual changes in the length-weight and reproductive characteristics of Scorpaena porcus on the Western shelf of the Crimea, as well as the influence of climatic factors. The results showed that the average annual size and weight of females and males increased in warmer years. It was also found that the reproductive system of S. porcus was dependent on water temperature. Comparison with S. porcus in other regions was also carried out.
