Spawning acts as a metabolic stressor enhanced by hypoxia and independent of sex in a broadcast marine spawner.

Broadcast spawners, like the blue mussel Mytilus edulis, experience substantial energy expenditure during spawning due to extensive gamete release that can divert energy from other functions. This energetic cost might be intensified by environmental stressors, including hypoxia that suppress aerobic metabolism. However, the energy implications of spawning in marine broadcast spawners have not been well studied.

First biometrics record of bartail flathead, () from the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh.

For the very first time the sex ratio, length-weight relationships (LWRs), length-length relationships (LLRs), form factor, as well as condition factor were calculated for bartail flathead, , captured with gill nets (mesh size: 2.0-6.0 cm) from the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh, from August 2021 to January 2022.
