- Abstract
Due to the current situation when we observe numerous climate changes, manifested by rising air and seawater temperatures, there have been observed also, changes in recent years regarding the biology aspects of some fish species from the Romanian Black Sea coast. Trachurus mediterraneus (Steindachner, 1868) - horse mackerel, having economic importance it is necessary to observe its biology in order to develop an appropriate management required by the changes observed at the population level. This paper presents results on temporal variations of total length and weight, age composition, growth parameters and sex ratio of the Mediterranean horse mackerel from the Romanian Black Sea coast. Data were collected from commercial trap net catch and from pelagic trawl expeditions in the period 2018-2020. Significant differences were observed between the length distribution and the stations, with the specification that in 2020 individuals from classes of smaller lengths predominated compared to previous years.
