Abstract

IN an earlier paper the present author (Rao, 1961) had shown that the scales
and otoliths of 'Ghol', Pseudosciaena diacanthus (Lacepede), a commercially
important sciaenid in Bombay and Saurashtra waters, are useful as age
indicators of this species. The results of studies on the growth of this fish
based on these structures and the length frequency data for the period
1958-62 are presented here. Further, von Bertalanffy growth equation
was fitted to the length-at-age data and estimates of the parameters were
obtained and compared with similar estimates of other sciaenids from
different regions.
