AGE AND GROWTH, LENGTH-WEIGHT RELATIONSHIP AND RELATIVE CONDITION FACTOR OF PENAEUS SEMISULCATUS DE HAAN

Abstract

Determination of age and growth of Penaeus semisulcatus de Haan was made by Peterson's method. Since the spawning in this species is prolonged, the modes tend to overlap as the growth ^ows with age. So, a size group could be traced only as far as possible after its entry into the coounercial fishery. The ave^e moodily growth rate in different stages, and from this, the approximate values at various ages were computed.
