Age and Growth of Three Dominant Lutjanus Species of the Great Barrier Reef Inter-Reef Fishery
Abstract:
Whole otoliths were used to age Lutjanus sebae, L. malabaricus and L. erythropterus from Great Barrier Reef waters. Validation of age estimates was incomplete. Significant differences existed between the sexes for some of the von Bertalanffy growth parameters and lengths at age of older fish. In general, males grew faster than females in older size classes, apparently after the attainment of maturity.
