Sono riportati I risultati ottenuti da dati di cattura e biologici di Umbrina cirrosa raccolti nel corso di un survey effettuato con rete tremaglio in 4 aree dell'Alto e Medio Adriatico, prima e dopo la realizzazione di barrier artificiali. In tutte le zone la cattura media di U. cirrosa ha mostrato un notevole aumento dopo l'immersione delle strutture artificiali: il rapport tra le catture effettuate presso le barrier artificiali e le catture commerciali ha mostrato un aumento corrispondente a 10-70 volte. Dal confront delle regression lunghezza-peso calcolate separatamente per maschi e femmine non sono emerse differenze statisticamente significative, pertanto sono state riportate una sola relazione per gli adulti di entrambi I sessi e una per I giovani. L'equazione di accrescimento stagionale di Von Bertalanffy calcolata su 1734 esemplari ha mostrato un elevato ritmo di crescita durante I primi tre anni di vita.

Abstract
Catch and biological data of Umbrina cirrosa were collected during a fishing survey carried out with a standard trammel net in different coastal areas of the Central and Northern Adriatic Sea, before and after the deployment of concrete artificial reefs. At all sites mean catch of U. cirrosa drastically increased after the immersion of the artificial structures: the ratio between the catches at the reef sites and the commercial landings showed and increase corresponding to 10-70 times. Comparison of length-weight relationships computed separately for adult males and females did not show any significant difference., so that only one length-weight relationship for both sexes pooled together and one for juveniles from all the sites were reported. The seasonal Von Bertalanffy growth equation for 1734 specimens showed fast growth rate during the first three years.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
