Age, growth, and natural mortality of schoolmaster (Lutjanus apodus) from the southeastern United States.
PeerJ 2016
Ages of schoolmaster (n = 136) from the southeastern Florida coast from 1981-2015 were determined using sectioned sagittal otoliths. Opaque zones were annular, forming March-July (peaking in May-June). Schoolmaster ranged in age from 1-42 years; the largest fish measured 505 mm total length (TL) and was 19 years old. The oldest fish measured 440 mm TL. Estimated body size relationships for schoolmaster were: W = 9.26 × 10(-6)TL(3.11) (n = 256, r(2) = 0.95); W = 2.13 × 10(-5)FL(2.99) (n = 161, r(2) = 0.95); TL = 1.03 FL + 10.36 (n = 143, r(2) = 0.99); and FL = 0.96 TL - 8.41 (n = 143, r(2) = 0.99), where W = whole weight in g, FL = fork length in mm, and TL in mm. The fitted von Bertalanffy growth equation was: Lt = 482 (1 - e(-0.12(t+2.79))) (n = 136). Based on published life history relationships, a point estimate of natural mortality for schoolmaster was M = 0.10, while age-specific estimates of M ranged from 1.57-0.18 for ages 1-42.
