The population analysis, i.e. population dynamics, fisheries biology and exploitation of painted comber, Serranus scriba (Linnaeus, 1758) (Teleostei: Serranidae), were done as a part of thesis. All representative samples were collected from commercial catches (the small costal trawl (12 mm stretched mesh)) in the Marina Saldun bay area (Middle eastern part of the Adriatic Sea) from November 2001 to March 2002.
