Abstract

Total of 482 individuals of Mullet species were collected from Bardawil lagoon, North Sinai, Egypt fishery (3 stations: El Nasr, Egswan, Tulul) during April 2019 to January 2020 season. Liza. ramada is the highest with respect to the relative abundance in Bardawil lagoon. In El-Nasr station found that Liza. ramada is Abundance species, Mugil. cephalus is Less abundance. Liza. aurata and Liza. saliens and Liza. carinata are rare species, while Chelon labrosus non-existent. In Egzwan station found that Liza. ramada is Abundance species, Mugil. cephalus is less abundance. Liza. aurata, Liza. saliens, Liza. carinata and Chelon labrosus are rare species. In Tulul station found that Liza. ramada, M. cephalus and Liza. aurata are less abundance. Liza. saliens, Liza. carinata and Chelon labrosus are rare species. The Diversity of species is (1.10, 1.34 and 1.50) in stations EL- Nasr, Egzwan and Tulul respectively. The value of Richness index is (0.78, 1 and 0.98) in El-Nasr, Egzwan and Tulul respectively. The value of Evenness index is (0.68, 0.75 and 0.84) in El-Nasr, Egzwan and Tulul respectively. But EL- Nasr has the highest value in dominants species.
