Sarda Sarda

The otoliths of the Atlantic bonito, Sarda sarda (Bloch, 1793), were examined with the aim to estimate the age and growth of the species in the eastern Mediterranean Sea and to reveal possible relationships between otolith shape or size and age. All specimens used in this study, ranging from 7.2 to 70.4 cm in fork length and from 20 to 4889 g in total weight, were caught in the Aegean and Ionian Seas during the period 1997-2010. Otolith morphometry was studied using image analysis techniques for all intact sagittae ranging in weight from 0.6 to 11.3 mg and four shape indices were calculated. No statistical significant differences between left and right otolith morphometric variables were found. The age of fish was estimated by counting the pairs of opaque and translucent bands in transversal thin sections of otoliths. The estimated ages ranged from 0+ to 7 years and the von Bertalanffy growth parameters were determined \((L∞=79.9 cm, k=0.261 and to=-1.230 years)\). The examination of the type of growth bands at the outside margin of each otolith per month showed that one translucent band is formed annually during the cold season. The results revealed statistically significant relationships between otolith morphometric variables and fish length or age. Among the variables, otolith weight was the one that showed the highest correlation with age (R=0.77). Therefore, otolith weight could represent a valuable criterion for age estimation in Atlantic bonito that is objective, economic and easy to perform compared to annuli counting method in hard parts.

Murray Cod

Transverse thin sections (0.5 mm thick) of sagittal otoliths from 290 Murray cod up to 1400 mm in total length and 47.3 kg in weight were used to establish the age and growth of cod in the lower Murray-Darling Basin, including comparisons of recent (1986-91) and past (1949-51) growth rates and growth in different waters. The maximum estimated age was 48 years. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of the seasonal changes in otolith marginal increments showed that annuli in fish of all ages were laid down each spring, and 1 October was assigned as the birthday. The thin-sectioning method was validated by comparing age estimates for 55 Murray cod from Lake Charlegrark (age 0-21 years), which had been validated by using burnt and polished half-otoliths. The new method had an accuracy of 96.4% and it offers major advantages in ease of preparation, reading, and batch-handling of large numbers of otoliths. The precision of the method, estimated as an average error for four readers, was 5.4% (3.0% after ignoring discrepancies in relation to annuli on otolith edges). There was a linear relationship between otolith weight and fish age and an exponential relationship between otolith weight and fish length. Both otolith length and otolith width reached an asymptote at about 15 years, when fish length also approached its maximum. However, otolith thickness continued to increase throughout the life of the fish and, after about 15 years, contributed most to the increase in otolith weight. This confirmed that otoliths continued to grow in thickness and that annuli were laid down throughout life, and that cod could be aged reliably to the maximum age. The annulus pattern is very clear and distinct, and the reading techniques are fully described, including recognition of 'larval' and 'false' rings. Various differences were found in the growth rates, and the length-weight relationships for males and females, for cod caught in 1986-91 and those caught in 1949-51, and various subpopulations are discussed. The von Bertalanffy growth parameters (all individuals combined) were estimated at L∞ = 1202 mm, k=0.108 and t0= -0.832. The availability of a reliable ageing method provides the first opportunity to determine year of birth and thus to examine the age structure of populations and to effectively manage cod populations that have declined in abundance.

Blue grenadier, Macruronus novaezelandiae, from south-eastern Australian waters were aged, using their otoliths (whole and in transverse thin sections). The greatest recorded age was 25 years. A double blind test showed that the recorded ages were sufficiently reproducible to use in fitting growth curves (Index of Average Percent Error: 8%), but not sufficiently so to assign individuals to particular year-classes. Von Bertalanffy growth curves were fitted to both length and weight data. For males, Lt = 90.7 (1 - exp[-0.256(t + 1.21)]} and Wt = 2.62 (1 - exp[-0.277(t + 1.39)]}3. For females, Lt = 99.3 {l - exp[-0.203(t + 1.48)]} and Wt = 4.16{1 - exp[-0.157(t + 2.93)]}3. L is the length in centimetres, W is the weight in kilograms and t is the age in years. A comparison with length-frequency modes validated the growth curves for immature fish, but no validation was possible for the adults. The $exes have qignificantly different growth patterns. Their growth parameters are typical of those of commercially exploited, temperate gadoid fishes and show no modification for the deep-water zone inhabited by blue grenadier.

Age Estimates

Age and growth of 5678 redfish, collected during 1991–98 from Australia’s South East Fishery, were estimated from thin sections of otoliths. A maximum age of 44 years was recorded for a 30 cm (fork length) female, but 80%of females in the commercial catch were <10 years, and 80%of males were <13 years. The largest was a 34 cm female estimated to be 36 years old. Repeated age estimates of a subsample revealed an average error of 3.79%. There was significant variation in the mean length-at-age among years, and there were significant effects for age*year, age*sex, age*region, region*year, and sex*region*year interactions. Assessments of the fishery have assumed a single stock, because tagging results from the 1980s indicate movement of redfish along the coast. This study found consistent differences in sex ratio and growth rate between regions, which indicate some structuring within the population. However, the differences in growth rates are not consistent among years and could not be explained by differences in depths fished, suggesting a more dynamic situation than spatially segregated stocks. Estimates of natural mortality ranged from 0.07 to 0.11 year–1 and differed between regions.

We determined the age and growth of the dog snapper (Lutjanus jocu), caught in the region of Abrolhos Bank, Bahia State, by the fishermen from coastal communities of Prado, Alcobaça, Caravelas, and Nova Viçosa. We examined 205 sectioned otoliths of fish caught by harpoon, longline, hand line, and gill nets (14.5 to 79.5 cm fork length). The formation of each ring was considered annual. The sectioned otoliths showed between 0 and 29 rings. Nearly half of the analyzed specimens had between 0 and 7 rings (88 of 205). Fish caught with nets in the estuarine region were the juvenile, while fish caught with lines and harpoons were the oldest. Two von Bertalanffy growth models were fitted to length-at-age data: one assuming constant variance of length-at-age (SVB) and another assuming constant coefficient of variation, i.e. variance increasing as a function of average size (CVVB). The SVB estimates were Loo = 87.82 cm, K = 0.10, and t0 = -1.486 and the CVVB estimates were Loo = 117.60 cm, K = 0.06, and t0 = -2.470. The largest Loo values estimated by the CVVB model are supported by reports from the literature of larger animals occurring in the deeper outer shelf of Abrolhos Bank. Growth parameters were also estimated for males and females separately (SVB model) (Loo = 92.80 cm, K = 0.099, and t0 = -1.680 for males, and Loo = 82.10 cm, K = 0.105, and t0 = -1.570 for females).

AbstractAge and growth were analyzed for brown trout from the Stream Kan, upper Çoruh River, from January 2001 to December 2001. Age varied between 0-7 years and the ratio of male to female was 1:1.05. Fork length and total weight for brown trout varied by 6.9-22.1 cm and 4.9-158.5 g for males, by 6.8-26.1 cm and 4.3-211.9 g for females, respectively. Fork length and total weight at the same age classes were not statistically significant between males and females. The highest specific growth rate occurred between age 1 and age 2 for both sexes. The von Bertalanffy equations were used to determine growth in length for both sexes and overall population separately. The growth parameters for males, females and overall population were estimated as L∞ = 32.5 cm, K = 0.169, t0 = −0.978, L∞ = 36.7 cm, K = 0.139, t0 = −1.065 and L∞ = 35.9 cm, K = 0.147, t0 = −1.002, respectively. Overall growth performance (ø) suggested that difference between the growth of brown trout from Kan stream and those from some other populations was found not statistically significant.

The scalloped hammerhead, Sphryna lewini (Griffith & Smith, 1834), is a globally exploited species of shark. In order to gain insight into the life history of this species in the USA waters, age and growth was examined from specimens (n = 307) captured from the north-west Atlantic Ocean and from the Gulf of Mexico. The von Bertalanffy growth model resulted in growth parameters of L∞ = 214.8 cm fork length (FL), k = 0.13 year–1, t0 = –1.62 year for males and L∞ = 233.1 cm FL, k = 0.09 year–1, t0 = –2.22 year for females. The oldest age estimates obtained for this population were 30.5 years for both males and females, which corresponded to FL of 234 cm and 241 cm respectively. Bowker’s test of symmetry and Index of Average Per Cent Error suggests that our ageing method represents a non-biased and precise approach to the age assessment. Marginal increments were significantly different between months (Kruskal–Wallis P = 0.017) with a distinct trend of increasing monthly increment growth beginning in January. When compared to previously published studies, our growth estimates suggest slower growth than populations in the Pacific Ocean but faster growth than previously reported in the Gulf of Mexico.

Age and growth of adult gilthead seabream, Sparus aurata were determined from 332 specimens (total N = 476), collected from purse-seiners, in the south-eastern Aegean Sea from November 2006 to January 2007. The fork length and body wet weight ranged from 26.5 to 51.5 cm (mean: 36.6 ± 0.18) and from 375 to 2600 g (mean: 1009.2 ± 14.16), respectively. Age groups were varied between 2 and 7. Growth parameters were estimated as L∞ = 64.97 ± 12.93 cm, K = 0.14 ± 0.07 year−1, t0 = −2.47 ± 1.09 year−1, and index of phi-prime was Φ′ = 2.772 ± 0.51. The length–weight relationship equation of all fish was calculated as W = 0.0515 × L2.737 (r2 = 0.95). The mean condition factor was estimated as 2.058. Mortalities (M, F and Z) and exploitation rate (E) of gilthead seabream from the Aegean Sea were 0.34 year−1, 0.77 year−1, 1.11 year−1and 0.69 year−1, respectively. The result of E indicated that the population was overexploited.

Biological parameters such as age, growth and age (or size) at maturity are vital for accurate stock assessments and management plans to ensure that fisheries develop sustainably. Despite this, very few validated age studies have been conducted for large tropical pelagic species within the Australian region. Age and growth parameters were estimated for bigeye tuna, Thunnus obesus (Lowe, 1839), sampled from longline fisheries in the Australian region using validated techniques based on counts of annual increments. Poor increment clarity reduced the number of otoliths included in the final analysis to only 50% of the 3200 selected for reading (39–178-cm fork length). Microincrement analysis confirmed the position of the first two annual increments in these otoliths. A maximum age of 16 years was obtained, but over 80% of fish in the Australian catch were <5 years old. Growth is most rapid in the first few years of life and asymptotic length is reached at about age 9 to 10 years. The von Bertalanffy growth parameters were estimated at L∞ = 169.09, k = 0.238, and to = –1.706 for the south-west Pacific Ocean and L∞ = 178.41, k = 0.176, and to = –2.500 for the eastern Indian Ocean. These parameters were significantly different, suggesting that there is little mixing between populations in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. Length at 50% maturity for females sampled in northern Queensland was estimated to be 102.4-cm fork length.

Ikan layang biru (Decapterus macarellus) merupakan salah satu jenis ikan pelagis kecil yang dominan tertangkap dan mempunyai nilai ekonomi yang tinggi, terutama untuk daerah dengan perairan yang lebih oseanik seperti di perairan Indonesia bagian timur. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi parameter populasi ikan layang biru khususnya tertangkap di Laut Sulawesi. Pengambilan sampel ikan untuk diukur panjang cagak dan diamati kematangan gonad dilakukan secara acak setiap bulan. Informasi parameter populasi yang diperoleh dalam penelitian ini adalah hubungan panjang-berat, nisbah kelamin, tingkat kematangan gonad, nilai L50% dan Lm, parameter pertumbuhan serta tingkat pemanfaatan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebaran ukuran panjang cagak ikan (fork length = FL) berkisar antara 10,25 - 32,25 cm, pola pertumbuhannya bersifat allometrik negatif. Nisbah kelamin ikan layang biru antara jantan : betina tidak berimbang yaitu 1 : 1,963. Ikan layang biru yang tertangkap didominasi oleh ikan dalam kondisi kematangan gonad tingkat III, artinya gonad masih dalam kondisi berkembang. Berdasarkan analisis tingkat kematangan gonad dan nilai indeks gonad dapat diketahui bahwa puncak musim pemijahan ikan terjadi pada bulan Maret. Perbandingan nilai L50% dan Lm diperoleh (L50% > Lm), artinya secara umum ikan telah mengalami matang gonad sebelum ikan tersebut ditangkap. Nilai eksplotasi lebih tinggi dari nilai eksploitasi optimal 0,5 per-tahun. Diduga puncak rekruitmen yang terjadi pada bulan Juni berasal dari musim pemijahan yang terjadi pada bulan Maret.Mackerel scad (Decapterus macarellus) is one of the dominant small pelagic fish species with high economic value, especially for areas with more oceanic waters such as eastern Indonesia. The purpose of this study was to identify the population parameters of the Mackerel scad especially those caught in the Celebes Sea. Fish samples were randomly taken to measure for length measurements and gonad maturity observation every month. Information on population parameters obtained in this study is the length-weight relationship, sex ratio, gonad maturity level, L50% and Lm values, growth parameters, and exploitation rates. The results showed that the distribution of fish length range from 10.25 - 32.25 cm of fork length, with the growth pattern was negative allometric. The sex ratio between males: females was not balanced (1: 1,963). The Mackerel scad caught was dominated by fish in the condition of level III maturity, meaning that each gonad was in a developing condition. Based on the analysis of gonad maturity and gonad index, it can be estimated that the peak of the spawning season occurs in March. A comparison of the values of L50% and Lm obtained was L50% > Lm, meaning that in general, the fish has reached gonad ripening before they were caught. The exploitation rate was higher than the optimal exploitation value of 0.5 per year. It is likely that the peak of recruitment occurred in June came from the spawning season occurred in March.

The age and growth parameters of grey triggerfish, Balistes capriscus from the Gulf of Gabès, southern Tunisia, Mediterranean Sea, were estimated from the first dorsal spine sections of 463 specimens (206 males and 257 females), whose fork length was between 139 and 427 mm and the total weight ranged from 90.04 to 1967.41 g. The monthly percentage of specimens having a terminal translucent zone has indicated that the growth zone is formed once a year, during the cold season (February). The von Bertalanffy growth equations were: FL = 420.7 [1 − e−0.233(t + 0.123)] and FL = 417.0 [1 − e−0.238(t + 0.074)], for males and females, respectively. The longevity estimated was 13 years old for both sexes. The instantaneous mortality rates were estimated to 0.23 for males and 0.24 for females. The weight–length relationships of the grey triggerfish were Wt = 21.510−3 LF3.046 and Wt = 41.010−3 LF2.835, for males and females, respectively.
