This research was done at\nthree rivers estuaries of the coastal waters of Latakia i.e. AL-Kabir\nAL-Shamali River, AL-Sanawbar River and AL-Qandil River, during the period Jan.\n2014 to Dec. 2015. Each station was divided into three different sampling\nsites: fresh water station (river stream), estuary station and a marine\nstation. Fish were collected bi-monthly and several fishing methods had been used\nfor this purpose. Some of the physical and chemical properties of the water\nwere measured, and the locations and times of fingerling presence in the\nestuary were determined. Results revealed the presence of 42\nfish species, distributed over 22 families and 6 orders. The largest number of\nspecies was in AL-Kabir AL-Shamali station, then in AL- Qandil station and\nfinally in AL- Sanawbar station. The results revealed the existence of several\nfish species, which may be used in mari culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key words<\/strong>: Fish diversity, Estuaries, Mariculture, Fish Fingerlings, Syria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Full paper in Arabic: <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/agri-research-journal.net\/sjar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/v7n5p7.pdf\">PDF<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amjad Mtawej*(1) Amir Ibrahim(2) and Mohamad Hassan(3)&nbsp;&nbsp; (1).
