Abstract

The survey of the fish assemblage in the planned place to establish artificial reefs in the western and eastern bays of Jask was carried out in the winter and spring of 2024. Sampling was done by Gillnet and Trap methods in 4 stations located in the western bay and eastern bay of Jask at a depth of 10 to 30 meters. 68 aquatic species (60 Fishes, 5 crabs, 2 oysters, and 1 shrimp) were sampled and recorded. Of these, Nemipterus japonicus (32.6 %) was the most abundant, Saurida tumbil (12.6 %), Anodontostoma chacunda (12.5 %), Ilisha megaloptera (9.8 %), Scomberoides tol (6.4 %), Sphyraena putnamae (4.1 %), Lactarius lactarius (2.6 %), Muraenesox bagio (2 %), Pomadasys kaakan (1.9 %), Otolithes ruber (1.6 %) located in the next rank. The average catch per unit of effort of gillnet was 45±10.2 kg/piece×hour and for Trap 7.3±4.2 kg/trap×day. In this research, it was found that the population of species related to artificial reefs, such as Epinephelus coioides , Lutjanus johnii , and Lethrinus nebulosus were relatively low, and mainly below the maturity size, it seems that the stocks of this group of fish need to be enhanced. Therefore, it is recommended to consider the target species in the design of the structure and arrangement of the artificial reefs, on the other hand, the shelter and protective aspects of the artificial reefs for the reef-dependent juvenile also be considered.
