Abstract

In this study, growth of Encrasicholina purpurea is analyzed. A general growth curve based upon the Brody-von Bertalanffy equation was determined. The following results were found: L=49.7mm, W=8.4g, k=0.4, t=0.1. Longevity (A 0.95) is close to 7 months, and the natural morrtality rate (M) is 0.4. Males grow faster than females, show a lower A 0.95 and higher M. Individual grow fast during the first development stages, compensatory growth in weight being exhibited from the fifth month of life. Growth rates are consistently higher during spring and summer.
