| Abstract |
Collections were made for gulf butterfish Peprilus burti along a cross-shelf transect at depths of 5-100 m in the Gulf of Mexico off Texas from Oct 1977 to Jul 1980. Length frequencies were used to infer age of P. burti and to describe size and age at maturity, spawning seasonality and areas, recruitment, seasonal distribution and movements, growth, maximum size and age, and weight-length, girth-length, and total, fork, and standard length relationships. Also discussed are hydrographic conditions associated with spawning areas and recruitment, and zoogeographic differences in population dynamics in Peprilus near Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. |
