This species of fish was collected using gillnets at the sea near the village of Sigri which is located in the South-West side of the island of Lesvos. Based on the results, Serranus scriba is characterized as carnivorous with a preference in Decapods. Also, the GSI （Gonado Somatic Index）, HSI （Hepato Somatic Index） and CF （Condition Factor） index were calculated, with the estimation of numbers of females and males and separation of mature stages using the scale Nikolsky. Majority of the individuals of this species are females with a ratio of 88% versus male with 12%. And based on the calculation of indicators they are characterized quite mature, with good percentage of stored energy and good condition of healthiness.
