Growth studies based on sectioned sagittal otoliths revealed that <i>C. zanzibarensis</i> is relatively fast-growing and long-lived, attaining ages >8 years. Growth in length was rapid in immature fish, fish attaining 56% of their maximum size within their first year. By sexual maturity, fish had attained 28% of their maximum age and 68% of their maximum length. Total length-at-age was best described by the Von Bertalanffy growth model with combined-sex growth described as L-t = 354.78(1-e<sup>-0.43(t+1.17)</sup>) mm TL. Sexually dimorphic growth patterns were evident, females attaining larger lengths, but at a slower growth rate than males. Despite the similar mean size of adult fish, the trawl-sampled adult population was dominated by females, with a sex ratio of 1 male:2.4 females. Female <i>C. zanzibarensis</i> mature in their second year of life (275 mm TL), after which they spawn small, pelagic eggs throughout the year. Approximations of the rates of total, natural and fishing mortality were estimated to be 0.62, 0.48 and 0.14 year <sup>-1</sup> respectively.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Biology of the redspotted tonguesole <i>Cynoglossus zanzibarensis</i> (Pleuronectiformes: Cynoglossidae) on the Agulhas Bank, South Africa","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2024-12-10 01:33:17.368041","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+01:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":"Cape south; Austroglossus-pectoralis; Coast; Predation patterns","OtherDescriptors":"CAPE SOUTH, AUSTROGLOSSUS-PECTORALIS, PREDATION PATTERNS, EASTERN CAPE, COAST, GROWTH, FISH, SPARIDAE, PISCES, SOLE","Notes":null,"AnaPub":2000,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2001-06-11","DateCreate":"2001-06-05","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":null,"VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":10640,"PubliDate":2000,"Pagination":"185-197","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"22","Issue":null,"BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":43929,"SerRR":"South African Journal of Marine Science = Suid-Afrikaanse Tydskrif vir Seewetenskap.
