Resumen

En el mar Mediterráneo se han registrado seis especies de Mullidae, cuatro de las cuales son exóticas. La llegada más reciente al Mediterráneo es un salmonete del mar Rojo (Parupeneus forsskali), que fue visto allí por primera vez en el año 2000. Aunque P. forsskali es endémico del mar Rojo y el golfo de Adén, recientemente ha ampliado su distribución; en Chipre se confirmó su presencia en 2014. Desde entonces ha establecido una exitosa población alrededor de la isla, que ya ha adquirido importancia comercial. En el presente trabajo, se estudió el período de puesta y el desarrollo gonadal de P. forsskali frente a las costas de Chipre, además de importantes parámetros biológicos. Los análisis macroscópicos e histológicos de las gónadas indicaron cinco fases de madurez tanto para las hembras como para los machos. Las fases de madurez gonadal y el índice gonadosomático indicaron que P. forsskali desova en los meses de verano, con el pico de puesta en julio. Los machos fueron más grandes, pesaban más, y eran más abundantes que las hembras, la relación talla-peso fue TW = 0,0065 TL^3,17 para los machos y TW = 0,0086 TL^3,07 para las hembras, indicando ambos un crecimiento alométrico positivo. La talla de primera madurez sexual (LM) fue de 14,2 cm para los machos y de 11,8 cm para las hembras. Se identificaron cinco grupos de edad a partir de la distribución de frecuencia de tallas (0-4 años). El grupo de edad 1 fue el más dominante, con casi el 60% de los individuos muestreados. La mortalidad natural (M) disminuyó con la edad y el coeficiente medio de mortalidad natural, en todas las edades, fue de 0,563 año^-1. En general, éste es el primer estudio que proporciona información relevante sobre la época de puesta del salmonete del mar Rojo y otras estimaciones sobre varios rasgos biológicos en su hábitat no nativo que pueden ser de gran interés para la gestión pesquera.
