Females had a mean length of 1,677 mm FL (n = 322) and were significantly larger than males, which had a mean length of 1,447 mm FL (n = 125). Ages of 977 tarpon were estimated from thin-sectioned otoliths (sagittae). Eighteen tarpon were marked with oxytetracycline (OTC) to form a reference point on the otolith and were held in captivity for periods ranging from 13 to 50 months. Examination of OTC-marked otoliths suggested that a single annulus was formed each year. Marginal increments of young of the year and 1-year-old tarpon showed a single annual minimum during April-June. Tarpon are long-lived and reach a maximum age of at least 55 years. Growth of the tarpon in our study was rapid until an age of about 12 years and then slowed considerably. Male tarpon (n = 141) ranged from 0 to 43 years in age, and female tarpon (n = 298) ranged from 0 to 55 years in age. The von Bertalanffy growth equation for females was FL = 1,818(1-e super((-0.103(Age + 1.410)))) and for males was FL = 1,567(1-e super((-0.123(Age + 1.575)))). Estimates of the von Bertalanffy growth parameters L sub( arrow left ) and K for males and females were significantly different. Predicted lengths of females were greater than those of males for all ages greater than 4 years.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Age and growth of tarpon, <i>Megalops atlanticus</i>, from south Florida waters","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2024-12-10 01:32:52.928458","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+01:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":1995,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2016-07-18","DateCreate":"2010-02-25","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:A1995RZ41500002","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":1},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":143878,"PubliDate":1995,"Pagination":"619-628","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"93","Issue":"4","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":44319,"SerRR":"Fishery Bulletin.
