A review on maximum length of the greater weever Trachinus draco Linnaeus 1758 (Perciformes: Trachinidae) with a new maximum length from Oran Bay (Western Algeria)

Abstract

On the 15th April 2017, one female specimen of the greater weever, Trachinus draco measuring 44.69 cm in total length and weighting 885 g was captured by trammel net in Oran Bay (Cape Rousseau) at 120 m depth. Up to date, this length is a new record of maximum length reached for this trachinidae for Algerian waters and the second maximum length recorded in Mediterranean basin according to Fischer et al., 1987 observation noted at 45 cm.
