Length-weight relationships and growth parameters of axillary seabream Pagellus acarne (Risso, 1827) from the Didim coast in the Southern Aegean Sea

Abstract

The length-weight relationships and growth parameters of the axillary seabream Pagellus acarne caught from the Didim coast in the southern Aegean Sea were examined. A total of 667 axillary seabream individuals, of which 295 were female (44.23%) and 372 were male (55.77%), were collected by commercial trawlers and gillnets from November 2021 to December 2023. The length-weight relationships were calculated for females, males, and sexes as W = 0.0052 x L3.2378, W = 0.0065 x L3.1521, and W = 0.0058 x L3.1965, respectively. The growth of P. acarne on the Didim coast was determined as positive allometric. The maximum age was found to be 4 for both females and males. The von Bertalanffy growth parameters were L∞ = 28.55 cm, k = 0.213 year-1, t0 = -2.011 years for females; L∞ = 22.13 cm, k = 0.489 year-1, t0 = -0.862 years for males; L∞ = 23.75 cm, k = 0.373 year-1, t0 = -1.203 years for both sexes. The growth performance index (φ´) for females, males, and sexes were 2.239, 2.379, and 2.324, respectively. This study provides the first contribution to the basic growth parameters of P. acarne along the Didim coast, southern Aegean Sea.
