Age and Growth in Fishes

Increase in body size as a function of age. In natural water bodies, age and growth studies are essential to understand the age structure of a population from which mortality rate is estimated. Growth in fishes can be determined by counting annual or daily rings that are formed on hard parts such as scales, otolith, vertebrae etc.

The annular rings are formed due to seasonal variations in temperature and availability of food in the environment. Another direct method of recording growth is by tagging and recapture, but it is expensive and recovery of tagged fishes is meager

Growth model The von Bertalanffy growth function (VBGF) is expressed as: Lt= L (1- e-k (t- t0)) Where, ‘L’ is the maximum size that could be attained by a fish; it is also termed as asymptotic length. ‘K’ is a growth coefficient at which fish attains the maximum length and ‘to‘ is a hypothetical age at which length of a fish is zero and ‘t’ is time to reach the length Lt.
