Abstract

The modal values for 197Q-74- indicate that the mackerel grows to about
21 cm toy the end of 8 months and 'by the completion of first year the length is
about 22 cm. The growth equations derived from 12 months and 24 months data
were not fund to explain growth pattern satisfactorily. An examination of the
.specific growth-rate have shown that the rate of growth decreases consid'erably
after cbout 8 months. The indication is that as the gonadial growth sets in there
is a drastic reduction in linear growth. H-enoe, separate growth equations were
derived for the premature and mature phases. These equations fit well with the
observed values of growth during the corresponding phases
