Abstract

The length frcqueney data were analyzed using the FiSAT sofi ware to estimate the population parameters of lizra carinata ( = Mugil seheli from Suez Bay northern Gulf of Suez. The estimiatcd growth paramieters were L∞ =21.053 cm. and K = 0.84 Y-1 while the niortality rates were Z =3.25Y-1 and M =1.62Y-1 . The obtained length at first capture equals to Lc = 14.032 cm. and the recruitment pattern shows one annual recruitment pulse. The estimated current exploition
rate is slightly lower than thc estimated maximum exploitation rate indicating that the fishery resources of Mugil seheli from the Bay is in its optimum condition.
