Abstract: The biology of the tub gurnard, Chelidonichthys lucerna (Linnaeus, 1758), has been studied based on data collected between August (2009) and July (2010) from the Egyptian Mediterranean water in front of Alexandria. A total of 873 specimens ranged between 10.6 and 28.2 cm TL and from 10.2 to 232.5 g total weight, were sampled. The age, growth, length-weight relationship, sex ratio, length and age at first sexual maturity and reproduction period were estimated. Total lengths of males ranged from 12.6 to 23.2 cm and of females from 11.8 to 28.2 cm. The maximum |
