Abstract Based on length, weight, and age data, we examined allometry and growth parameters for common pandora, Pagellus erythrinus, commercially collected seasonally from northern and southern Tunisian coasts in 2007. A total of 370 specimens (14–27.5 cm in length) were used to assess the allometric variation at seasonal scales. The slope b values (regression coefficient) of the length-weight relationship varied between 2.494 to 3.237, indicating (roughly) an isometric to negative allometric growth pattern. The allometric relationship, as a proxy for fish condition, seems to be affected by seasons and sex in the northern population, while only seasons seem to have a strong effect in the southern population, as indicated by ANOVA. The von Bertalanffy growth parameters were identified at L∞ = 34.076 and 28.017 cm, k = 0.153 and 0.150/year, and t0 = −1.922 and −3.961 years for the northern and southern sample, respectively.

Abstract This work is one of the first studies on the growth of Poecilia latipinna outside its natural habitat. The objective of our study was to investigate the growth parameters of the population of P. latipinna, which is an alien species in Oman (Wadi Al-Bahayes). The population structure of P. latipinna in Wadi Al-Bahayes (Oman; 23°40′47″N; 58°11′36″E) was studied in June and August 2020, using 124 fish. In the course of this study, the number of individuals of each sex, age, weight and size composition were determined. In addition, the total length–weight relationship (LRW) was calculated, as well as the von Bertalanffy growth equation. The mean growth performance (phi prime) and the condition factor were calculated. Males accounted for 37.10% and females for 62.90% of the population. The length–weight relationship and the von Bertalanffy growth equation were W = 0.0214 × L 2.7889 R2 = 0.9212, Lt = 11.46 (1 − e −0.127 (t + 2.71)) for males and Lt = 14.51 (1 − e−0.072 (t + 3.98)) for females. The mean growth performance and the condition factor were calculated as 1.22 for males and 1.18 for females and 1.54 for all specimens. The study shows that the population of the species is characterized by a wide age range. Consequently, monitoring of this alien species is highly recommended.

Strombus turturella on Bangka Island is under pressure and threatens the effects of anthropogenic activity. This condition is necessary to carry out various efforts to manage the dog conch on an ongoing basis. Based on these problems, it is necessary to conduct research related to various parameters of the growth of the dog conch on Bangka Island. The purpose of the study was to determine the growth parameters of the dog conch which included growth patterns, estimation of growth model von bertalanffy and length-weight relationship. The research was carried out in several stages, namely: 1) Sampling in the field conducted in Teluk Kelabat waters, Ketawai Island and Anak Air Island, 2) Measurement of shell length and weight, and 3) Analysis of growth parameters using the FiSAT II application, then estimated von Bertalanffy's growth. The results of the frequency distribution of the size of the gonggong snail class in Teluk Kelabat were 47.85- 66.35 mm, on Ketawai Island 44.10-77.45 mm, while those on Anak Air Island were 44.10-62.65 mm. The results of Von Bertalanffy's growth model in the first year or age of one year growth accelerated with the length of the shell in Teluk Kelabat (44.46 mm), Ketawai Island (46.63 mm) and Pulau Anak Air (32, 80 mm). Then in the following year the growth slowed down to asymptotic length with around 11 years of age in T. Kelabat, 14 years in P. Ketawai and 15 years in P. Anak Air. The relationship between the length and weight of the dog conch in three locations on Bangka Island with a value of b <3 so that a negative allometric growth pattern can be determined. The negative allometric growth pattern shows an increase in the length of the snail bark faster than the weight gain. Siput gonggong (Strombus turturella) di Pulau Bangka mengalami tekanan dan ancaman dampak dari aktivitas antropogenik. Kondisi ini maka perlu dilakukan berbagai upaya pengelolaan siput gonggong secara berkelanjutan. Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut maka perlu dilakukan penelitian berkaitan berbagai parameter pertumbuhan siput siput gonggong di Pulau Bangka.  Tujuan penelitian yaitu menentukan beberapa parameter pertumbuhan siput gonggong yang meliputi distribusi kelas ukuran, pendugaan model pertumbuhan von bertalanffy dan hubungan panjang berat. Penelitian dilakukan beberapa tahapan yaitu 1) Pengambilan sampel di lapangan yang dilakukan di Perairan Teluk Kelabat, Pulau Ketawai dan Pulau Anak Air, 2) Pengukuran panjang cangkang dan berat, dan 3) Analisis parameter pertumbuhan dengan menggunakan aplikasi FiSAT II, selanjutnya dihitung pendugaan pertumbuhan von Bertalanffy. Hasil distribusi frekuensi kelas ukuran siput gonggong di Teluk Kelabat yaitu 47.85 mm s.d 66.35 mm, di Pulau Ketawai 44.10 mm s.d 77.45 mm, sedangkan di Pulau Anak Air yaitu 44.10 mm s.d 62.65 mm. Hasil model pertumbuhan Von Bertalanffy pada tahun pertama atau umur satu tahun pertumbuhan mengalami percepatan dengan panjang cangkang di Teluk Kelabat (44,46 mm), Pulau Ketawai (46,63) dan Pulau Anak Air (32, 80) mm. Kemudian pada tahun selanjutnya pertumbuhan semakin melambat sampai mecapai panjang asimtotik dengan umur sekitar 11 tahun di T. Kelabat, 14 tahun di P. Ketawai dan 15 tahun di P. Anak Air. Hubungan panjang dan berat siput gonggong di tiga lokasi di Pulau Bangka dengan nilai b < 3 sehingga dapat ditentukan pola pertumbuhan alometrik negatif. Pola pertumbuhan alometrik negatif  menunjukan pertambahan panjang siput gonggong lebih cepat dibandingkan dengan pertambahan berat.

The blueline snapper, Lutjanus coeruleolineatus (Rüppell, 1838), is a significant commercial fish species harvested from the traditional fishery in the Sultanate of Oman. Deficient data on this species, however, make the management strategies challenging, especially in fisheries ecology. A total of 978 specimens were obtained from Dhofar Governorate off the coast of the Arabian Sea during the period between February 2015 and March 2016. In total, 296 sectioned otoliths were analyzed and growth was estimated from non-seasonal growth by using von Bertalanffy method. The parameters of von Bertalanffy growth function, total mortality (Z), natural mortality (M), fishing mortality (F), and exploitation rate (E) were determined and compared with those for Lutjanidae fishes elsewhere. The age structure of male fishes was between 1 and 14 years for males while the age of females ranged from 1 to 18 years. Growth rate (K) was 0.21 y–1 and 0.16 y–1 for males and females, respectively. The hypothetical length of female (L∞ = 46 cm) was relatively higher than that of male (L∞ = 42 cm). The natural mortality (M) was 0.296, total mortality (Z) was 0.372, fishing mortality was 0.076, and exploitation rate (E) was estimated as 0.2. The presently reported study is conducted to examine this fish in relation to growth parameters by analyzing otolith structure. The results of the presently reported study will contribute towards planning the regional fishery management policies in Oman.

In the present study, several growth parameters of 338 Squalius cephalus (L., 1758) specimens collected from the Orenler dam lake (Turkey) between July 2005 and June 2006 were studied. The population comprised 50.74% males, 46.29% females, and 2.97% males+females. In the examined samples, the age of females and males ranged from I to VII and I to VI, respectively. The fork length and weight of females were 14.7-38.0 cm and 40.68-27.0 g, respectively; these values were 16.3-33.7 cm and 57.7-560.0 g, respectively, for males. The age-length and age-weight relationships at time t were calculated by the von Bertalanffy equation for females, and the following results were obtained: Lt = 37.12[1–e–0.36(t–(–0.96))], Wt = 775.6[1–e–0.36(t–(–0.96))]3.27, Lt = 43.59[1–e–0.3356(t–(–0.719))], and Wt = 1123.2[1–e–0.3356(t–(–0.719))]3.08. The calculated length-weight relationship was W = 0.36L3.27 for females and W = 0.03356L3.08 for males. The average condition factor was 1.412 for females and 1.284 for males. Consequently, in the Orenler dam lake, S. cephalus grows very well according to the study’s results.
