Of the 35 resident, migrant and straggler species caught, representing 22 families, the most numerically dominant species were Atherina boyeri (46.4\% of total catch), which today is the most economically important species, followed by Pomatoschistus marmoratus (28\% of total catch) and Aphanius fasciatus (9.1\% of total catch). Mugilidae and Sparidae were the most diverse families. According to various diversity indices, the lagoon{\textquoteright}s ichthyofauna was found to be most diverse in May 1990; taxonomic spread however, as shown by the taxonomic distinctness index ({\"A}*), was lowest in July 1990, when the greatest monthly water temperature range was observed (13.5{\textdegree}C). Overall fish relative abundance was positively correlated with the maximum monthly water temperature (r 2=0.32, p < 0.05). The NMDS and cluster analysis performed on the bag seine catches showed four groupings, based mainly on the life history of the species. The main group consisted of all the resident species of the lagoon and four mugilid species that were present throughout most of the sampling period. The second group consisted of marine migrant species that spent a short period of their life in the lagoon. Marine migrants and one marine straggler that were found once or twice formed the third group, while the fourth group consisted of species with casual presence. The importance of Porto-Lagos Lagoon as nursery and feeding area for marine species was confirmed by the catch of young individuals of several marine species. {\textcopyright} Springer 2005.}, keywords = {coastal lagoon, Diversity indices, Environmental factors, fish fauna, Mediterranean, Pisces, Taxonomic distinctness}, author = {Koutrakis, E.T. and Tsikliras, A.C. and Sinis, A.I.} } @proceedings {8058, title = {Seasonal diversity and abundance of ichthyoplankton in Strymonikos and Ierissos Gulfs (Northern Aegean, Greece). }, year = {2002}, month = {22-25.5.2002}, pages = {81}, address = {Thessaloniki}, keywords = {kape pisces}, author = {Koutrakis, E.T. and Kallianiotis, A.A. and Tsikliras, A.C.} } @article {8059, title = {Temporal patterns of larval fish distribution and abundance in a coastal area of northern Greece}, journal = {Scientia MarinaScientia Marina}, volume = {68}, number = {4}, year = {2004}, note = {Cited By (since 1996): 1Export Date: 5 September 2006Source: ScopusReferences: Barbopoulos, K.A., Kourafalou, V.H., Krestenitis, Y.N., Three-dimensional numerical modeling of North Aegean Sea circulation (2000) Proc. 6th Hell.

Both gulfs are affected by the freshwater input of the Rivers Strymon and Rihios; water depth does not exceed 80 m. Samples were collected using a bongo net sampler (250 {\`\i}m mesh size) over a grid of 35 stations in six cruises between June 1997 and May 1998. A total of 48 taxa of fish larvae (36 species, 5 genera and 7 families) were identified. The majority of identified fish larvae taxa consisted of demersal species that included larvae of Bothidae, Gobiidae, Callionymidae, Sparidae and Serranidae. The highest number of species occurred in the warm season (May, June, July, September) and this was attributed to the summer spawners that start their reproduction period during spring/early summer. The European anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) was the dominant species between July and September, and the European sardine (Sardina pilchardus) between November and March. Two distinct seasons (warm and cold) were identified by multivariate analysis, highlighting the importance of seasonality in shaping the community structure. The absence of well-defined larval fish associations revealed the importance of depth in the identification of different spatial patterns in an area.}, keywords = {abundance, diversity, fish larvae, Greece, Seasonal patterns}, author = {Koutrakis, E.T. and Kallianiotis, A.A. and Tsikliras, A.C.} } @article {8064, title = {Characteristics of the European Bitterling Rhodeus amarus (Cyprinidae) in the Rihios River, Greece}, journal = {Journal of Freshwater EcologyJournal of Freshwater Ecology}, volume = {18}, number = {4}, year = {2003}, note = {Cited By (since 1996): 1Export Date: 5 September 2006Source: ScopusReferences: Aldridge, B.C., Development of European bitterling in the gills of freshwater mussels (1999) Journal of Fish Biology, 54, pp. 138-151; Arai, R., Jeon, S.R., Ueda, T., Rhodeus pseudosericeus sp. nov., a new bitterling from South Korea (Cyprinidae, Acheilognathinae) (2001) Ichthyological Research, 48, pp. 275-282; Bagenal, T.B., Braum, E., Eggs and early life history (1978) Methods for Assessment of Fish Production in Freshwaters.
