A total of 2930 Mullus barbatus individuals collected from the Southeastern Black Sea coast between March 2017 and April 2018 were investigated regarding growth, mortality rates and the distribution determined by depth and season. M. barbatus is abundant along of 30-45 m depth in winter. Total length-weight relationship was determined as W=0.005L3.2344. Von Bertalanffy growth parameters for all individuals were calculated as L∞=28.19 cm, K=0.16 years-1, t0=-0.144 years. The maximum age was 5 years. The total length at 50% maturity was estimated as 11.63 cm in males and 11.68 cm in females. Exponential coefficients of natural mortality, total mortality, and fishing mortality rate of red mullet are estimated as 0.33 year-1, 1.001 year-1 and 0.67 year-1, respectively. The exploitation rate of population was calculated as 0.66 year-1. The fact that exploitation rate is above 0.5 may reflect a high fishing pressure on stock.

Güneydoğu Karadeniz’ de Barbunya (Mullus barbatus Linnaeus, 1758) balığının Mekansal-Zamansal Dağılımı ve Popülasyon Dinamiği

Öz

Mart 2017 ile Nisan 2018 arasında Karadeniz'in Güneydoğu sahilinden toplamda 2930 Mullus barbatus bireyi büyüme, ölüm oranları ve derinlik ile mevsime göre belirlenen dağılımları açısından incelendi. M. barbatus kış aylarında 30-45 m derinliklerinde daha yoğundur. Toplam uzunluk-ağırlık ilişkisi W=0,005L3,2344 olarak belirlendi. Tüm bireyler için Von Bertalanffy büyüme parametreleri L∞=28,19 cm, K=0,16 yıl-1, t0= -0,144 yıl olarak hesaplandı. Maksimum yaş 5 yaştır. Yüzde elli olgunluğa ulaşma toplam uzunluğu erkekler için 11,63 cm, dişiler için ise 11,68 cm olarak tahmin edildi. Barbunya balığı için doğal ölüm, toplam ölüm ve avcılık ölüm oranları üssi katsayıları sırasıyla 0,33 yıl-1, 1.001 yıl-1 ve 0,67 yıl-1 olarak hesaplandı. Popülasyonun işletme oranı 0,66 yıl-1 olarak hesaplandı. İşletme oranı 0,5'in üzerinde olması, stok üzerinde yüksek bir av baskısı olduğunu yansıtabilir.
