Population dynamics of Treadfin bream (Nemipterus japonicus Bloch, 1971) in the Persian Gulf Waters (Bushehr Province)

Abstract

This study was performed to estimate the growth parameters and mortality rate of (Nemipterus japonicus Bloch, 1971) with using length frequency data in Bushehr fishing grounds. sampling did monthy with using cutlassfish pelagic trawl, gillnet and bottem trawl. The growth parameters of k and L∞ were estimated 0.79 y-1 and 31.5 cm respectively. The t0 was estimated -0.2. b quantity for this species equals to 2.71 which indicating the negative allometric growth model. W∞ quantity estimated about 390.07 g The exploitation rate (E) For this species was 0.31,with respect to fishing effort it is low and it shows that this stock has potential for more exploit too.
