| Abstract | ||||
| study of age and growth of Mediterranean bouge; Boops boops (L.)> from Egyptian Mediterranean coast off Alexandria was carried out during the period from April 2003 to March 2004 by examining the growth increment on their otoliths. The individuals of B. boops fall into 4 age groups (I to IV). The weight- length relationship was estimated as W = 0.0254L2,660\ The growth parameters were estimated according to the Von Bertalanffy growth model as follows: U =30.105 cm, K = 0.1511 and to = | ||||
