Abstract
ABSTRACT The main Spondylus limbatus population parameters were estimated based on the analysis of individual growth and reproductive aspects of specimens collected monthly (n = 30) from January to December 2009 in the fishing area of Agua Verde, Gulf of California. The size structure determined from shell measurements was 82–167 mm and the direct reading of shell sections indicated ages of 1–14 years. The data were adjusted to the von Bertalanffy, Gompertz, logistic, Richards and Schnute (Type 1) growth models. The von Bertalanffy model provided the best fit to describe individual growth in this species (SH∞ = 142.7 mm, k = 0.47, t0 = −0.20 years). The spawning season was determined through gonadal histology, and the size and age at sexual maturity through a logistic model. Reproductive activity occurred from March to September, with spawning peaks in July and August. The size and age at sexual maturity were 10.8 mm and 2.7 years, respectively. This information provides the necessary knowledge to implement management measures in the area. We recommend independent studies to establish management measures for each fishing area.
期刊介绍:
Invertebrate Reproduction & Development ( IRD) presents original research on the reproductive and developmental biology of the Invertebrata, both embryonic and postembryonic. IRD welcomes papers reporting significant results obtained using new techniques. Encouraged topic areas include: aquaculture, physiology, biochemistry, functional morphology, phylogeny, behavioural and regulatory mechanisms, including genetic, endocrine and molecular studies. Papers containing qualitative descriptions of reproductive cycles and gametogenesis will not be considered. IRD is published in association with the International Society of Invertebrate Reproduction and Development.
