Towards a better management of Nassarius mutabilis (Linnaeus, 1758): biometric and biological integrative study

Fishing of Nassarius mutabilis is by far the most important activity carried out by artisanal fisheries in the central and northern Adriatic Sea, accounting for more than 35% of total fishing effort and yielding from 2000 to 3000 t of landings each year. This gastropod is targeted from the beginning...

Zusammenfassung:Fishing of Nassarius mutabilis is by far the most important activity carried out by artisanal fisheries in the central and northern Adriatic Sea, accounting for more than 35% of total fishing effort and yielding from 2000 to 3000 t of landings each year. This gastropod is targeted from the beginning of autumn to the end of spring using basket traps. Taking this statement into consideration, the results of the present study contribute to fill a few existing gaps and may be useful to improve the management measures currently in force. A significant difference in the biometric characteristics between the two sexes was discovered. The condition index (CI) showed similar seasonal trends for both sexes, with a decrease from late winter to spring followed by an increase from summer to fall-early winter. Consequently, from a management point of view, it would be advisable to shorten the fishing season that at present extends from fall to later spring.Original Abstract: Lovljenje morskog puza Nassarius mutabilis je daleko najvaznija djelatnost malog priobalnog ribolova u sredisnjem i sjevernom Jadranu, sto cini vise od 35% ukupnog ribolovnog napora s prinosom od 2000 do 3000 tone svake godine. Ovaj puz se lovi od pocetka jeseni do kraja proljeca pomocu vrse. Unatoc njegovoj drustveno-ekonomskoj vaznosti, znanstvene studije o biologiji i ekologiji ove vrste su vrlo rijetke, stoga se neuspjeh trenutnih mjera upravljanja takoder moze pripisati oskudnom znanju o biologiji ove vrste u navedenom podrucju. Rezultati ovog istrazivanja pridonose rjesavanju nekoliko postojecih nedostataka i mogu biti korisni za poboljsanje mjera upravljanja koje su trenutno na snazi. Uzorci su prikupljeni pomocu vrse (kosare; pletene stupice) u razdoblju od ozujka 2006. do ozujka 2008. godine tijekom mjesecnih istrazivanja u sredisnjem Jadranu. Ukupno su uhvacena 383 muzjaka (raspon velicina 7-29 mm SH) i 504 zenke (raspon velicina 15 - 32 mm, SH- visina skoljke-puza). Srednja visina puza (+ or - SD - znacajna razlika) muzjaka iznosila je 15,84 + or - 3,57 mm, a srednja visina kucice zenki je iznosila 25.31 + or - 3.06 mm. Otkrivena je znacajna razlika biometrijskih karakteristika izmedu dva spola. Indeks stanja (CI) pokazao je slicne sezonske trendove za oba spola, s padom od kraja zime do proljeca, nakon cega slijedi porast od ljeta do jeseni odnosno pocetkom zime. Najmanje vrijednosti zabiljezene su u ljeto, a maksimalne zimi, sto predstavlja suprotni trend u odnosu na temperaturu vode. K
