Spatial and seasonal variations in the growth of the populations of tongue sole fish (Cynoglossus quadrilineatus Bleeker, 1851) along four different stations of Makran coast by using the von Bertalanffy model
Background: Growth is a most important life-history trait that defines the maximum size and age, maturation stage, and mortality of any fish species and is also involved in stock assessment models commonly used in fisheries conservation or management. Objectives: The present study focused on assessing the growth patterns and related parameters to the population of tongue sole (Cynoglossus quadrilineatus) along different sites of the Makran coast in temperate regions. Methodology: A total of 987 tongue sole fishes were collected seasonally from four different sites along the Makran coast (Gwadar, Pasni, Ormara, and Sur Bandar). Growth parameters i.e., length-weight relationships, length-frequency distribution, von Bertalanffy (VBGF) growth model, and stock status were analyzed. Results: The overall results of the length-weight relationship (LWRs) of this species showed only a significantly positive allometric growth pattern (b
