7. Growth Rates of Southern California Makos from Modes of Length-Frequency Histograms
~50 cm/yr at age 0.25 yr ~34 cm/yr at age 1 yr Fall data Cailliet et al assuming 2 bands/year.
~45 cm/yr at age 0.67 yr ~30 cm/yr at age 1.67 yr O'Brian and Sunada 1994, modes at AL = 42 and 53 cm (TL = 122 and 152 cm) from 2+ and 3+ year old makos, respectively.
~60 cm/yr at age 0.25 yr ~30 cm/yr at age 1.0 yr cm/yr at age 2.0 yr Hanan et al. 1993, modes at AL = 34, 44, and 54 cm (TL = 100, 130, and cm) from 0.5, 1.5 and 2.5 year old makos, respectively.

8. Catch Curves Estimation of Survival from Age Composition (Ricker 1977, Krebs 1989)
Right limb is a survivorship curve that is both age-specific and time-specific if the following assumptions are met:
Survival rate is uniform with age
Survival rate is uniform with time
Sample taken randomly from age groups involved
Recruitment is constant for all age groups
If these 4 assumptions are violated, the right limb of the catch curve will often not be a straight line.

9. Catch Curve of Female Shortfin Makos

10. Catch Curve for Exp. Drift Longline Fishery in Southern California during O'Brian and Sunada 1994

11. Catch Curve for Makos taken by Japanese Longliners off the eastern coast of Australia(Stevens 1992) can add n=98 females, Z = 0.61 but # to small to derive meaningful catch curve. Could try smoothing.

12. Catch Curve for Shortfin Mako off East Northland and Bay of Plenty, New Zealand (Saul and Holdsworth 1992) (females extracted and large females from off-shore added)

13. Catch Curve for Female Shortfin Mako from western North Atlantic, n = 1113 (Casey and Kohler 1992) Z= 0.70, too large! but why,

14. Catch Curve for Shortfin Mako off South-Eastern Australia 1961-90 (Pepperell 1992)

15. D? Mejuto for years 1983 and 1984 combinend female data for the 2 years then calculatet age_FL. Was done later!

17. Parameters for Demographic Analysis
1. Length at Age (VBGF).
2. Estimate of natural mortality (M) Hoenig 1983 (requires max. age estimate, we used 7 ln2/k = 23.9 years (k = year-1). Pauly 1974 (requires max. size = 3.73 m TL, VBGF k = year-1, and water temperature T = 20 C.
3. Estimate of fishing mortality (F) or total mortality (Z = M + F); we used catch-curve derived Z.
4. Natality, to be discussed next.

18. Effective Natality vs. TL 10, 50, 90% mature at TL = 2. 60, 2. 72, 2
Effective Natality vs. TL 10, 50, 90% mature at TL = 2.60, 2.72, 2.85 m) mx(TL) = (1/4) TL2.66 e( TL)/(1+e( TL));

19. Effective Natality vs. Age 10, 50, 90% mature at age 4. 8, 5. 4, 6
Effective Natality vs. Age 10, 50, 90% mature at age 4.8, 5.4, 6.1yr mx = (1/4) TL e( TL)/(1+e( TL)); with TL = ( )e( age)
