Contribución al conocimiento del Tachysurus barbus (Lacépède), bagre del Mar Argentino (Pisces, Ariidae).

A las costas bonaerenses llega en en verano ese típico representante de la fauna sudbrasileña, cuyo estudio consideramos de interés por ser el único bagre que en cierta cantidad suele ser capturado en Mar del Plata y Necochea cuando se realiza la pesca de especies de interés comercial. Damos la sinonimia, descripción y distribución de la especie y, como contribución a su conocimiento, el estudio anatómico del aparato digestivo.

Biomassa dos principais recursos de peixe de Boa-Paz, Moçambique

Data collected during a survey conducted by the Soviet trawler Sebastopolsky rybak , in January 1987, covering the Boa-Paz area, Mozambique, were analysed. The biomass of demersal fish was found to be higher than the one of pelagic fish. The most representative group among the demersals was the first grade fish, where the families Sparidae, Lethrinidae, Lutjanidae and Serranidae were included, corresponding to a biomass of about 3,500 tonnes. In the pelagics the family Carangidae was the most important one and the species Decapterus russelli and Trachurus trachurus showed the highest biomass estimates in this family.
