Description:
This final report is an outcome of a study on biodiversity and stock
estimating of Ornamental fishes in Larak Island as a sample of Islands
which have corals in their waters in the Persian Gulf. The study was based on sampling by pots and handline hooks and
underwater fim. Fourty-three species of ornamental fishes were identified
of which 20 species were obtained by fishing and 35 ones were observed
through underwater films.
The results showed that Abudefduf vaigiensis , Neopomacentrus
cyanomos, Chromis xanthoptrygia were the most abundant ; Chaetodon
nigropunctatus ,
Thalassoma lunare and Parrot fishes were frequent. Amphiprion
clarkii , Archamia fucata , Caesio lunaris and Pesudochromis dutoiti
were observed very rarely.
The sampled specimens of Abudefduf vaigiensis were 322 and this has
a great differences with that of other ornamental fishes.
The spawning period of A. vaigiensis and E. hemistiktus based on
GSR factor were determined Feb-Mars and Apr-May respectively.
Fecondity of E. stoliczkae , S. persicus and Scolopsis ghanam were
calculated.
Lm50 for females of A.vaigiensis obtained 132 mm (T.L).
