Age and growth of the daggernose shark, Isogomphodon oxyrhynchus, from northern Brazil were determined from 105 vertebral sections stained with alizarin red-S representing 46 males, 52 females and 7 specimens of unknown sex (58.4 to 141 cm-TL) and verified with length–frequency analysis of 1135 specimens (632 females and 503 males, 58–160 cm ). Marginal increments did not show significant differences throughout the year, and it was assumed that one band is formed annually. Different tests provided varying results for growth curve comparisons between sexes; the curves were similar, despite biological differences. von Bertalanffy growth parameters estimated from back-calculated mean lengths, observed mean lengths-at-age and length–frequency analysis were of the same magnitude. Parameters generated from observed length-at-age were chosen for describing growth for the species: L• 171.4 cm, k 0.12 year –1 and t0 –2.612 years. The largest female aged from vertebrae was 12 years old, whereas the largest male was aged at 7 years. Neonates, ~42.3 cm, showed one band in the vertebrae, formed at birth, or soon thereafter. Males are mature at 103 cm or 5–6 years and females at 115 cm or 6–7 years. Resumo. A idade e o crescimento do cação quati, Isogomphodon oxyrhynchus, do norte do Brasil foi determinada usando 105 vértebras seccionadas e coradas com alizarina vermelha-S de 46 machos, 52 fêmeas e 7 exemplares de sexo indeterminado (58,4–141 cm-CT). Análise de distribuição de frequência de comprimentos de 1135 indivíduos (632 femeas e 503 machos, 58–160 cm) foi utilizada como método de verificação. Os incrementos marginais não mostraram diferenças significativas ao longo do ano, assumindo-se que uma banda é formada anualmente. Com diferentes testes, usados para comparar curvas de crescimento entre os sexos, obteve-se resultados conflitantes; o crescimento foi considerado idêntico entre os sexos, apesar das diferenças biológicas entre machos e fêmeas. Os parâmetros de von Bertalanffy estimados do retrocálculo, comprimentos médios observados e da análise de comprimentos foram semelhantes, tendo sido escolhidos para descrever o crescimento da espécie: L• 8171,4 cm; k 0,12 year –1 et 0 –2,612 years. Amaior fêmea cuja idade foi estimada pelas vértebras tinha 12 anos enquanto o maior macho tinha 7 anos. Recém-nascidos de 42,3 cm apresentavam uma banda nas vertebras, formada ao nascer, ou logo depois do nascimento. Machos estão maduros em 103 cm ou 5–6 anos e fêmeas em 115 cm ou 6–7 anos.

Over 2000 individuals of Lolliguncula brevis were collected from 1975 to 1979 in the northern Gulf of Mexico off the Texas coast; their growth and reproductive biology were analyzed by traditional fisheries methods (ELEFAN analysis of the length-frequency data). From 1994 to 1996, 112 squid were captured in Galveston Bay, near Galveston Island, Texas, and their age and growth determined by statolith increment analysis. The results were strikingly different between the two approaches. Length-frequency analysis of growth overestimated life span by a factor of three to seven times. Statolith increment counts, verified by laboratory growth validation experiments, indicate that this species is very short-lived, in the order of 100-200 days depending on temperature. A slight increase in temperature during the early stage of development can greatly shorten the life span. This study provides evidence that increased temperature during a squid's early growth period could markedly accelerate growth. Mature individuals occurred throughout the year, although there were many more mature males collected than females. Gonad growth and maturation in L. brevis appear to be associated more with size than with individual age. There is now compelling evidence that length-frequency analysis should be abandoned as a technique for determining squid growth.

Age and growth of Oreochromis niloticus from Lagoon of Coatetelco, Morelos State, Mexico were studied from January through December, 1993. Scales of 318 specimens were collected. Modal length at capture was 10. 5 -11. 5 cm standard length. Scales rings were forrned during December. Back-calculated lengths-at-age showed no significant differences by sexo Four check marks were recorded. According to the growth curve parameters for population, the fish grow at a low rate (k=O.07) until they achieve a size (Loo) of 2 9. 19 cm. Length-frequency analysis (Bhattacharya's Gaussian component deterrnination procedure) do not differ significantly (t-student, p

Dinamika populasi merupakan aspek penting sebagai dasar pengelolaan perikanan dan informasi tentang aspek tersebut pada lobster pasir masih minim di perairan Palabuhanratu. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengkaji aspek pertumbuhan, pola rekrutmen, mortalitas dan laju eksploitasi lobster pasir (Panulirus homarus) di perairan Palabuhanratu. Penelitian ini dilakukan periode Juni 2015-Mei 2016 dengan metode sensus. Lobster pasir hasil tangkapan jaring insang dasar dengan jumlah total sampel 483 ekor mempunyai panjang karapas antara 28-100 mm. Pola pertumbuhan berdasarkan hasil regresi linear memperlihatkan allometrik negatif. Hasil analisis menggunakan metode ELEFAN I (Electronic Length Frequency Analysis) menunjukan koefisien pertumbuhan lobster pasir jantan (K = 0,29 per tahun), lebih kecil dibandingkan dengan betina (K = 0,40 per tahun). Rekrutmen terindikasi dua puncak dalam setahun: yaitu pada Februari-Mei dan September-Oktober). Laju mortalitaskarena penangkapan (F) mencapai 1,9-2,2 kali laju mortalitas alami (M). Nilai Lc<Lrmemperlihatkan lobster pasir sudah tertangkap sebelum mencapaiukuran rata-rata mengerami telur atau ukuran kematangan reproduktif. Laju eksploitasi lobster pasir mencapai 32-38% di atas laju eksploitasi optimum, sehingga lobster pasir sudah mengalamieksploitasi yang berlebih.Population dynamics is an important aspect as basic of fisheries management and little information of this aspect for spiny lobster fishery in Pelabuhanratu waters. This research aims to evaluate of growth aspects, recruitment pattern, mortality, and exploitation rate of scalloped spiny lobster (Panulirus homarus) in Palabuhanratu waters. This research was conducted in June 2015 until May 2016 using census method. The size of P. homarus captured using bottom gill-net with total sample 483 specimen was between 28-100 mm carapace lengths (CL). Linear regression showed that growth pattern was negative allometric. The growth coefficient of male (K = 0.29 per year) was found smaller than female (K = 0.40 per year) based on ELEFAN I (Electronic Length Frequency Analysis) method. Recruitment seems to be accrued twice peaks a year (February to May and September to October) and the highest was at February to May. Fishing mortality (F) reached 1.9 to 2.2 times of natural mortality (M). The LcÂLr value showed that female has been caught before reached the average size of bearing eggs or reproductive maturity size. The exploitation rate of spiny lobsters reaches 32-38% above optimum level. This study suggests that the spiny lobster fishery in Palabuhanratu in the state of overexploitation.

Methods are described by which the component groups may be extracted from polymodal size frequency samples by the use of probability graph paper. Four examples are given illustrating: the solution of a distribution with more than two modes and with only one exposed flank; the coordination of fish age determinations by the two methods, length frequency analysis and scale reading; a bivariate sample where the two means coincide though the standard deviations are different; a method of correcting for truncation.
