Specimens of both sexes were collected in the Messologhi-Etoliko lagoon in western Greece. The equation used for the morphometric character Y was dY/dTL=a times b times TL-b-1, which gives information on the tendency of each morphometric character to grow in relation to total length and also gives a quantitative expression of this and the size of each character. The equation used for length-weight relationship was W= a times TL-b. It is shown that the differential increase in the morphometric characters in relation to the increase in total length gives a tendency for the body of L. saliens to be slender and the body of L. ramada to be spherical. This was confirmed by data on length-weight relationships.}, keywords = {Pisces}, author = {Minos, G. and Katselis, G. and Kaspiris, P. and Ondrias, I.} } @article {13144, title = {Biometric studies on the otoliths of three species of the genus Trachurus.}, journal = {Biologia Gallo-hellenica}, volume = {12}, year = {1986}, pages = {245}, keywords = {KAPE, Pisces}, author = {Tsiambaos, P. and Kaspiris, P. and Koutsaftikis, A.} } @article {8548, title = {Distribution and reproductive biology of Sepietta neglecta (Naef, 1916) (Cephalopoda: Sepioidea) in the North Aegean Sea (Eastern Mediterranean).}, journal = {VeligerVeliger}, volume = {41}, number = {3}, year = {1998}, pages = {239-242}, abstract = {Sepietta neglecta (Naef, 1916) is the most rarely caught species of the genus Sepietta (Sepiolidae).

Specimens were dissected, weighed, and assigned a maturity stage. The weight-length relationship was found to be allometric. Mature individuals were caught during all six cruises. In mature males, from 150 to 240 spermatophores were counted, whereas in females, up to 127 oocytes were counted of which only a fraction (6-36\%) were in the last stage of development. The ovaries of mature females contained oocytes at three vitellogenetic stages: primary oogonia, maturing oocytes, and smooth ripe oocytes ready to be released.

This paper aims to increase knowledge of their distribution and abundance in the NE Mediterranean. A total of 3404 sepiolids were collected off the north-e astern coasts of Greece, between 17 and 400 m of depth, during four seasonal trawl surveys carried out from November 1992 to August-September 1993. Nine species were identified: Neorossia caroli, Rondeletiola minor Rossia macrosoma, Sepietta neglecta, Sepietta oweniana, Sepiola affinis, Sepiola intermedia, Sepiola ligulata and Sepiola rondeleti. S. oweniana was the most abundant species among them, followed by R. minor R. macrosoma and S. rondeleti. The results of multivariate analysis, based on Bray-Curtis similarity indices, showed the presence of three main groups: one related to the shallower hauls near the coast (<60m) where S. rondeleti and S. intermedia were more frequently caught, a second one consisting of hauls carried out at depths 55-105 m, in which S. oweniana was the dominant species, and a third one with deeper hauls characterised by the highest abundance of S. oweniana, R.. minor and R. macrosoma. Length frequencies and maturity stages are presented by season and sex for the four most abundant species. Seasonal changes in the bathymetric distribution of these species are also discussed in relation to their life cycle.}, keywords = {Aegean, Cephalopoda, Mediterranean, Sepiolidae}, author = {Lefkaditou, E. and Kaspiris, P.} } @article {7787, title = {Pagrus pagrus or Pagellus erythrinus larvae?}, journal = {Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United KingdomJournal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom}, volume = {84}, number = {04}, year = {2004}, pages = {853-854}, publisher = {CambridgeUnivPress}, keywords = {Pisces}, author = {Klimogianni, A. and Kaspiris, P.} } @article {7478, title = {Age determination and growth of leaping mullet, (Liza saliens R.1810) from the Messolonghi Etoliko lagoon (western Greece)}, journal = {Mediterranean Marine ScienceMediterranean Marine Science}, volume = {3}, number = {2}, year = {2002}, note = {Using Smart Source ParsingDecember; Record 473 of 2858 in Zoological Record v.140 2004}, pages = {147-158}, keywords = {Pisces}, author = {Katselis, G. and Koutsikopoulos, C. and Kaspiris, P.} } @article {7417, title = {Presenza di Pomadasys incisus (Bowd.) nelle acque della Grecia (Pisces Percoidei).}, journal = {Annali del Museo Civico di Storia Naturale "Giacomo Doria"Annali del Museo Civico di Storia Naturale "Giacomo Doria"}, volume = {4}, number = {192}, year = {1970}, pages = {1-3.}, keywords = {KAPE}, author = {Kaspiris, P.} } @mastersthesis {7418, title = {[Contribution to the study of Osteichthyes of the Corinthian and Patras gulf and the Ionian sea.] (in Greek)}, year = {1973}, school = {Univ. of Patras}, type = {Doctoral thesis}, address = {Patra}, keywords = {Pisces}, author = {Kaspiris, P.} } @article {7419, title = {First report of Mustelus mediterraneus Quign.

According to the findings, the water quality in both rivers varied from very poor to very good. Among the bioindicators used, the benthic macroinvertebrates seem to be the most reliable. The BBI and IBE were the most applicable indexes while the applicability of the IBMWP and IASPT in the Greek region can be enforced with the inclusion of the Diptreran family Rhagionidae and the Coleopteran family Elminthidae. {\textcopyright} 2003 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.}, keywords = {bioindicators, Biotic scores, Diatoms, fishes, freshwater, macroinvertebrates, Riparian and aquatic vegetation, water quality}, author = {Iliopoulou-Georgoudaki, J. and Kantzaris, V. and Katharios, P. and Kaspiris, P. and Georgiadis, Th. and Montesantou, B.} } @article {6851, title = {Trace elements in fishes collected from "Pappas" Lagoon in Greece.}, journal = {Revue Internationale d{\textquoteright}Oceanographie MedicaleRevue Internationale d{\textquoteright}Oceanographie Medicale}, volume = {107-108}, year = {1992}, pages = {59-66}, author = {Iliopoulou-Georgoudaki, J. and Tsonis, S.

The histological examination showed that in Araxos lagoon individuals were in the inactive stage from November to January, when gonadal development first took place. Ripe individuals appeared in April and the spawning activity begun in June and continued increasingly until October. The redevelopmental stage lasted from July to September and the duration of the completely spawned stage was from June to October. In Evinos estuary, the inactive stage took place from November to June. In some individuals gonadal development began in January and ripe individuals appeared in May. The spawning stage lasted from July to October, the redevelopmental stage appeared only in August and the completely spawned stage took place from August to September. The clams did not show any sign of hermaphroditism. The percentage of females was 57.5\% in Araxos lagoon and 60\% in Evinos estuary. The clams in Araxos lagoon had a more intense spawning activity, while clams in Evinos estuary stayed significantly longer in the inactive stage. The condition index presented a higher mean value and lower variability in Araxos lagoon than in Evinos estuary.}, keywords = {bivalves, coast, exposure, gametogenesis, growth, histology, Mollusca Bivalvia, philippinarum, population, recruitment, reeve, reproductive cycle, ruditapes decussatus, spain}, author = {Chryssanthakopoulou, V. and Kaspiris, P.} } @article {4613, title = {Feeding habits of sand smelt (Atherina boyeri, Risso 1810) in Trichonis Lake (Western Greece)}, journal = {Journal of Applied IchthyologyJournal of Applied IchthyologyJournal of Applied Ichthyology}, volume = {23}, number = {3}, year = {2007}, note = {ISI Document Delivery No.: 177CWTimes Cited: 4Cited Reference Count: 32}, month = {Jun}, pages = {209-214}, type = {Article}, abstract = {The feeding habits of sand smelt (Atherina boyeri, Risso, 1810) from Trichonis Lake (Western Greece) were investigated. Stomach contents were analyzed from 240 specimens with total lengths ranging from 35 to 112 mm. Samples were taken at monthly intervals (January-December 1997). Of the total number of stomachs examined, 53 were empty (22.1\%). However, values varied greatly with season (maximum in January: 50\%; minimum in August: 7.6\%). Prey analyses of stomach contents identified 15 important items (\%Rn > 0.05) belonging to six major groups: crustacean (copepods, cladocera), mollusca (bivalve: larvae), insects (larvae), cestode worms and finfish (fry and eggs). Dominant prey were larvae of the bivalve Dreissena polymorpha (\%Rn = 33.8), the copepods Eudiadomus drieschi (\%Rn = 26.4) and the cladocera Diaphanosoma brachyurum (\%Rn = 24.2). The importance of cladocera and copepods decreased with increasing size of the sand smelt, while the importance of bivalve larvae, fish eggs and finfish fry increased with increasing sand smelt size. Seasonal changes in diet composition and prey abundance in sand smelt stomachs were recorded as coinciding with the seasonal composition and abundance of the zooplankton community in the surface layers of Trichonis Lake. Bivalve larvae were the dominant prey of A. boyeri during January to May, while copepods and cladocera dominated from June to December.}, keywords = {age, estuary, fishes, growth, lagoon, mortality, Pisces, population, river}, isbn = {0175-8659}, author = {Chrisafi, E. and Kaspiris, P. and Katselis, G.} } @article {2911, title = {New record of Halobatrachus didactylus (Bloch and Schneider, 1801) in the coastal waters of the Ionian Sea, western Greece}, journal = {Journal of Applied IchthyologyJournal of Applied Ichthyology}, volume = {22}, number = {3}, year = {2006}, note = {Export Date: 4 September 2006Source: ScopusReferences: Belloc, G., Inventory of the fishery resources of the Greek waters.
