Population biology of sparid fishes in Qatari waters 2. Age, growth and mortality of black-banded bream, Mylio bifasciatus (forsskal) by El Sayed, Abdel Fattah M. [عبد الفتاح محمد السيد]

“…The length / scale relationship was TL = 3.596 + 0.1465 TS. The relationship between total length and total weight was best fit by the following curvilinear equation: TW = 0.01727 TL3.01621 -j^g yon Bertalenffy growth equation was Lt = 47.12 (l-e"°-14 (t+l-69)) The back-calculated data indicated that the growth in length of faskar was highest at the end of the first year of life, followed by a gradual, continuous decrease throughout the fish life. …”
