This study was carried out on /516/ fish individuals of Chub Mackerel Scomber japonicus (Houttuyn, 1782), which were caught from the Coastal water of Latakia province (Levantine basin) from December 2014 to November 2015, to identify the evolution stages of sexual maturity (by morphological and histological methods) and determine the spawning period of this important economic species. The results showed that Scomber japonicus begin with sexual maturity from the beginning of February and extend until mid-May, with a single peak in Mars. The average value of the gonado-somatic index (GSI) was (12.46 ± 1.52)% for males and (13.21 ± 3.9)% for female in Mars. And the total body length at sexual maturity was (21.5) cm for males, and was (23.5) cm for females. The development stages and gonad maturation in this specie, are similar with regard to the tissue and the form of gonads and according to the six gonad maturation steps.

This study has been carried out on Saddled bream , from the family of Sparidae, which was caught from the coastal waters of Tartous province. The results showed that, Saddled bream reached at the fifth stage of sexual maturity during April and May for males and females, and the study of the sexual maturity index GSI confirmed these results.
Half quarterly water samples were collected during the period between March 2015 and February 2016 of four different stations from Banias city water that is subject to the effect of sewage and estuaries. The concentrations of nutrients (H3SiO4 -, PO4 -3, NO3 -, NO2 - , NH4 + ) and the concentrations of chlorophyll a were determined to find out how affected by the temporal and spatial variability. The highest concentrations of phosphate and ammonia ions were observed at station St3 (close to the sewage), while the highest concentrations of nitrate ions were registered at the stations St1 and St2 (estuaries). The results showed high values of chlorophyll a in April (due to spring bloom of phytoplankton) and October (autumn bloom). The ions ratio ΣN/P revealed that phosphorus ions are limiting factor of the phytoplankton growth at St1 and St2, and that nitrogen ions are limiting factor of growth at the stations St3 and St4. The ratio Si/ΣN revealed that silicate ions are limiting factor of the growth of diatoms in all the stations.
The aim of study was to determine the dates of breeding and sexual maturity for Marsupenaeus japonicus in Lattakia coast as introduce for hatching and culturing it. The specimens were collected from the sea water of Ibn-Hany area at the north of L attakia, during the period November 2010 to October 2011 once or twice monthly. In vitro study included distinguishes males and females, morphometric measurements and weights for all individuals. The genital maturity stage was determined externally and through histological sections.
This research focuses on determining elemental concentrations of copper and lead (Cu &pb) in the muscles and liver Boops boops kind of the estuary of the AL Kabeer Alshemaly River and the fishing port and the promenade using atomic absorption tech nique. The results showed a significant increase in the concentrations of lead during summer 2014 in each of the muscle tissue and the liver of the fish examined (28.28ppm& 4.48ppm, respectively) at the mouth of the estuary of the AL Kabeer Alshemaly River and the fishing port and the promenade (11.19ppm& 3.75ppm, respectively), and this could be due to the different nature of human activities and sources of pollution to this element between the two regions. The results showed a marked seasonal change in the concentration of copper within the liver tissue of fish studied, where the highest concentration in the fishing port and the promenade( 5630.02 ppm) in autumn 2014, the Supreme( 3402.27ppm) value in the AL Kabeer Alshemaly River the estuary of summer. While the results did not show the variable in concentrations of copper in muscle . Theconcentrations were comparable between the two stations somewhat, with the highest concentrations in the summer in Bouth the fishing port and the promenade 1497.70ppm) and(1107.91 ppm) the AL Kabeer Alshemaly River. Results indicate that the accumulation of the studied elements (Cu &pb) in the liver compared to muscle (and the reason is boiled physiological differences in the functions of each of the two members) and to the existence of a good correlation between the concentration in the muscle changes with the typical length of which points to increased accumulation of these elements in these fish with increased growth,Noting the high concentration of the studied elements in females more than those recorded in males.
