Allometric relationships between fish length and otolith length for three Anguilliformes in northern coast of Tunisia

A sample of 36 Gnathophis mystax (Delaroche, 1809), 198 Conger conger (Linnaeus, 1758), and 61 Muraena helena Linnaeus, 1758, caught with longlines or by trawling in the coastal waters of northeastern Tunisia, was collected from December 2008 to December 2010.

description A sample of 36 Gnathophis mystax (Delaroche, 1809), 198 Conger conger (Linnaeus, 1758), and 61 Muraena helena Linnaeus, 1758, caught with longlines or by trawling in the coastal waters of northeastern Tunisia, was collected from December 2008 to December 2010. In both congrid species, G. mystax and C. conger, otolith mass and fish length are strongly related by a power function, with high correlation coefficients (r = 0.885 and 0.927, respectively). However, for M. helena the r value is significantly lower (r = 0.79). The same is true for the relationship between the length of the anteroposterior axis of the otolith and fish length. In all three species, the relationship between otolith mass and fish length has an allometric coefficient b inferior to 3. Similarly, the value of b' is inferior to 1 within the relationship between the length of the anteroposterior axis of the otolith and fish length. In all cases, the calcified structures show a negative allometric growth. However, inter-specific differences are observed, which could be related to ontogeny and life-history traits of the species. Un echantillon comprenant 36 specimens de congre bec-fin (Gnathophis mystax), 198 de congre d'Europe (Conger conger) et 61 de murene de Mediterranee (Muraena helena) a ete selectionne parmi les captures faites a l'aide de palangres ou de chaluts sur la cote nord-est de Tunisie, entre decembre 2008 et decembre 2010. Chez les deux especes de Congridae, G. mystax et C. conger, la masse des otolithes et la longueur du poisson sont fortement liees par une fonction puissance (Y = a [X.sup.b]). Il en est de meme pour la relation entre la longueur de l'axe anteroposterieur de l'otolithe et celle du poisson. Ces memes relations sont moins robustes chez M. helena. Chez les trois especes, la relation entre la masse des otolithes et la longueur du poisson presente une forte allometrie minorante (b inferieur a 3). De meme, dans la relation entre la longueur de l'axe anteroposterieur de l'otolithe et celle du poisson, l'allometrie est minorante et la valeur de b' est inferieure a 1. La croissance des individus chez ces especes est relativement plus rapide que celle de leurs otolithes. Des differences inter-specifiques sont cependant observees, qui pourraient etre liees a l'ontogenie et aux traits de vie des especes.
