Preliminary investigation of morphometric characteristics, length-weight relationships and condition factors of sarpa salpa from ghar el melh lagoon, northern Tunisia
This study presents the first assessment of the morphometric traits, length-weight relationship, and condition factors of Sarpa salpa from the Ghar El Melh Lagoon in northern Tunisia. Specimens were sampled using traditional fishing gears to evaluate growth characteristics and population health. The results revealed a strong correlation between length and weight, with the species exhibiting isometric growth, indicating proportional increases in body dimensions.
