Density-dependent growth of four spot megrim (L. boscii) in the northern Spanish shelf.

This is a preliminary study of the possible density-dependent growth of four spot megrim, Lepidorhombus boscii. Values of mean length by age class are related to the abundance indices of ages in 1991–1994 in North-eastern Atlantic waters (ICES divisions VIIIc and IXa). The analysis is performed sepa...

Descrição
Resumo:This is a preliminary study of the possible density-dependent growth of four spot megrim, Lepidorhombus boscii. Values of mean length by age class are related to the abundance indices of ages in 1991–1994 in North-eastern Atlantic waters (ICES divisions VIIIc and IXa). The analysis is performed separately for each sex and for each of the 3 subdivisions: VIIIc2, VIIIc1 and IXa2. The most significant relationships between growth and population density are found in juveniles of the first of these three subdivisions and in the area of study as a whole.
