1.2. Abstract

The length growth parameters of 515 different species offish, distributed in 1 501 different stocks are presented.The parameters are Loa and K (as wall'as to in many cases)of the von Bertalanffy growth function. They have beendeter;-mined by various methods from "raw" sii\fl-at-age ",andrelated literature data in 966 case6, the l:'e~t originatingfrom previouQ similar compilation ~nd from the, primarY , ,literature. The method~ used for parametere 8stimation'are briefly discussed, pending a detailed presenta~ion

elsewhere.

The compilation covers mainly tempe1'ate marine fishes.but care was taken to inclUde as mani tropical marinefishes as possible. Only 12 %of the species listedare ,purely limnic.

The parameter values listed are of varying quality andshould be used preferably in the light of ,the originalgrowth data and of data from related 'stOCks.

A bibliography of more than 650 papers with dat~ pertainingto fish growth is given.

Previous compilations of fish growth parameters, especiallythose of Beverton & Holt (1959), Holt (1959, 1960), Beverton(1963), Taylor (~958) and Ursin (1967) have provided a greatdeal of insight into some or the mechanisms of growth infishes.

In January 1977, I began a compilation of data on f'iloh growthw:!.th the aim of :l.denti~YiTlg a g~neral pattern to/whia!) thegrowth of all fish would conform and Which could be u~ed

to predict the growth parameters of little.,.known fish stocks.

Such a general pattern does indeed exist and it will beexposed in my dissertation, presently in preparatio~.

The growth parameters calo~lated and/or used for the iden~

tification of this mechanism, however, do in themselvesrepresent a fair amount of work and could be quite valu~ble

to fishery biologists, e"peoially those doing field workin areas where library and other facilities are not optimal.

1.4. Scope of the compilation

Table I should provide an idea of the scope of the presentcompilation, as compared with previous compilations.Table II relates the number of taxa included pere to thenumber of recent fish taxa. It will becnoticed that, whi~e

24 %of all families and 10 %of all recent genera areincluded, the bibliography covers only 2.4 %of all existingspecie·s. It should be realized, however, that literallyall commercially relevant species are included here:it is those fish popUlations supportine relevant fiSherieswhich get investigated first, in all countries,

Thus any good scanning of the literature will result in

a very good coverage of those species which are commercially

1.5. Source of data

. a) A first source of data for this compilation were ob­viously the previous compilations listed in Table I.

The data originating from this source generally have thecode number "00" under the ·"method" heading. However,in most cases, the name(s) of the author(s) of the ori­

ginal data is (are) given under the "source" (of data)

heading, this in order to enable users of th~s com~i­

lation to properly identify the stock in question.

b) A second source of data were review papers and booksin which "raw" growth data, mainly length-at-age data

had been compiled for dcocriptive or comparative pur­poses. Such sources were for eXRrnple ,the papers ~y

D'Ancona (1937) or Bougis (1952) and especially

Nikolsky's "Special Iohthyology" (1957). In the caseof this type of source it is, as in case a) -theoriginal author who was quoted ~ even if he was notconsulted in the original - rather than the compiler(with the exception of the soviet authors cited by

~ik01sky and whose pnp~~s are genlrnl1y not accessiblehere). Again, the aim was to enab1e the UBef to trackdown the original growth data. /This feature seems very important as it appeared veryearly in the pourse of this work that.many sets ofgrowth data cited in different papers went back toone same author and/or fish stooke

0) The third and most important source of growth data, how­ever, was the primary literature, which was scannedquite thoroughly - at least for certain taxa and/orregions (see Fig. 1).In those cases where the authors had calculated growthparameters themselves, this is indicated by a "0"under the~methodftheading. In thoBe cases whe~e the

parameters had not been calculated - that is in themajority of caSeS - this was done by using one ofthe methods listed in Table III, and the code number

given correspond to the method used. In many cases,it was necessary to even reinterpret growth data,.i.e.

where authors had fitted their length-at-age databy straight lines (see for example Hureau 1970,

Hureau & Ozouf 1977).

1.6. Methods used for the determination of growth para­

meters1.6.1. Preliminary remarks:

The work on this compilation gave ample opportunity tocritically assess the various methods used in the determi­

nation of growth parameters. Some of them could be ex­panded and/or made more flexible. Also a new technique

for the analysis of size-frequency samples was devisedwhich allows for ~e~ter reproducibility. of results.

All of these methods, critique" and new techniques willbe presented i.n a next jr-;!;UL' 01' the "Bl'r1chte·des InGI;ituts

fUr Meereskunde", together with programmn" for their quickcomputation.

It seems therefore superfluous to do here more thanlisting and briefly outlining the characters of thesemethods.The Von Bertalanffy, Growth Formula (VBGF) in the notationof Beverton & Holt (1959) has for length growth the form

-K(t-to )Lt = 100 (l-e )

The VBGF has been widely used in fisheries science. althoughit has been demonstrated that some of the assumptions madeby von Bertalanffy (1934) do not apply (see for exampleUrsin 1967. Taylor 1962).

The VBGF. on the other hand. always produces an excellentfit to that part of a growth curve which corresponds tothe exploited phase of fish stocks.

For this reason. and for the sake of comparability withpreviously published data. I have found it preferable notto use the four-parameters. generalized version of theVBGF. although it produces an even better fit and allows

"for a physiological interpretation of the parameters L CIO

& K (Richard 1959. Taylor 1962. Ursin 1967, Pauly, diss.in prep.)

The parameters of the VBGF may be defined as follow:

1) The asymptotic length, or L~is about equal to themean ~ength the fish of a given stock would reach ifthey were to grow to a very old age. This definitiondiffers from that of Ricker (1958) in that I insist

that Loco should be a biologically "possible ll length.not a mere mathematical entity. As will be shown else­where, this definition is of greater heuristic valuethan that of Ricker, (1958) when the growth parametersof different fish stocks are'to be compared.

- 12 -

In small and middle~sized fishes, however, the values of L~

are only slightly higher than the maximum size actually,recorded (Lmax )' This feature was noted by Holt (1960)"

,Beverton (1963) and especially Taylor (1958). 'Latter

This property of Lmax has been used in this compilation-to,obtain preliminary estimates of asymptotic length ,in certain

stocks. Such values I suggest to code, "L (00 )" ir: order t,oprevent confusion with calculated values of L"';,Values of L(oo) must always be used, obviously, with thosemethods requiring independent estimates of asymptotic size(that is methods 1, 31, 41, and 51). Most of the values ofL

maxused here come from the author who also produced

the growth data.

2) The constant K has the dimension 1/time, and is herealways expressed as l/year. An exhaustive discussionof its character and properties will be given elsewhere.

3) The parameter to is "the age the fish would have had atlength zero had· they always grown in the manner described

by the equation" (Ricker, 1958). i'

Note that this definition implies that to cannot be inter­preted biologically unless it is demonstrated that thefishes do always grow according to the equation.

This applies to the length at a~e zero which shouldnot be interpreted ao length at hatohing or birth.

1.6.2. Methods 1 to 5

1.6.2.1 Method 1, called h~re the "von Bertalanffy Plot"h~~ been proposed by von Bert~lanffy '(1934, p. 627) forthe estimation of K and by Beverton Be' Holt (1957/ p. 283,fig. 16.4) .and Ricker (1958) for the estimation of K andto on the base of a preliminary estimation of L(OQ)'The method. has the advantage that the length-at-age samplescan be weighed according to their size, and that data at

unequal time interval can beUsed.

1.6.2.2 Method 2 is the well-known "Ford-Walford Plot"(~ord, 1933, Walford, i946) which ca~ be used for dataat equal time interval only. For statistical reasonsto be discussed in the planned manual of methods, a"functional" rather than a "predictive" regression hasbeen fitted to the plot of Lt + 1 against Lt data (seeRicker (1973), for a definition of the regression types).An exh~ustive discussion of the FW Plot and its variantswill be given elsewhere.

1.6.2.3 Method 3is the "Gulland & Holt Plot" proposedfor the treatment ·of data atunequal time interval (Gul­land and Holt, 1959). The method has the code number 3.In certain 'cases a set value of 1(00) used in conjunctionwith the "Gulland and Holt Plot" has proven necessaryand helpful. This method, called her,e "Simplified Gul­land & Holt Plot" has the code number 31.

- 14 -

1. 6.2.4 Method 4 is the direct estimation. of the growthparameters by means of anon-linear r~gression. Methods andprogrammes for the direct estimatiomof growth parametershave been introduced to fishery biology by ~omlihson & Abram­son (1961), Fabens (1965) and Allen (1966). The programmeused here was kindly written (in Algol} for the author byDr. a, OasohUtz and w~a run on the Digital PDP 10 of thecomput",r center of Kie~ UniVersity, '1'his pr9gramme',' coded 4.estimates growth parameters from length or weight-at-agedata, both at equal or unequal time intervals and the variousdata can b~ weighted by sample size, This latter featureallows for the use of a value. of L(00) or W( 00) which isinput as a size at a very large age (saY.500 years) andgiven a very high weight in term of sample size. Thislatter method is coded 41.The programme and instructions for its use will be presentedin the planned manual of methods •.

1.6.2.5 "Ageing" length frequencies

The two techniques generally used for the determinationof values of Loa and K from length frequency data are:

1) the Petersen method2) the "modal class progression analysis".

With the first method, assumptions are to be made on thetime interval Which separates various peaks assumed to re­present certain age groups.With the second method, assumptions are to be made as to

which of the peaks can be interconnected that belong totwo or several samples separated by (a) known time interval(s).

Thus, for example, questions to ask would be for the

samples in figure 2A:.method 1) - which time interval is represented by thelength difference between the two peaks of the May. sample?

method 2) - which of the three peaks of the Novembersample may be connected with the single January peak?

In most cases. the two questions of our'example cannQ~ beanswered separately. Indeed. it appears that the two .techniques may be combi.ned into a new integrated methodfor ~ageing" length frequency. where the question to askmay be formulated as follow:

- Which combination of values of LQO ,and K produces a,

growth curve which "explains" - that is,interconnects ­most of the peaks of a series ~f'sequentially arrangedlength'frequenoy samples?

The actual technique to use for the 4etermination of theappropriate values of L09 and K is' described in de.tailson page 15. Fig. 2B.An interesting feature of the integr~ted method is thatit can be readily programmed. A computer programme forthe processing of length and weight frequencies, includingdata where the growth rate oscillates seasonally is pre­sently in preparation.

1.7. Presentation of data

1.7.1. Genera.l

The growth parameters are presented in "units", one unitcontaining at least a species name, a value of L_(or

L(oo)) and of K, with a reference and a code number underthe "source", resp. the "method" headin~. In addition,a sampling location, more or less precise, is given, and/or additional comments under tho:? "note" head.lng. :A fre­quent note is a value of M (exponential coefficient ofnatural mortality), which in most cases originate fromthe papers by Beverton and Holt (1959) and Beverton (1963),but may also come from papers not cited but ,referring tothe stock in question. ....

1.7.2. Taxonomic questions pertaining to data presentation

Quite often, the fishes Whose growth parameters were usedor determined belong to taxa whose valid names havenot yet been agreed upon. I have assumed that the lawof priority ~oe8 not affect fish growth and stuck to thefollowing rules,

1) Subspecific taxa were not oonsidered and their na~es

dropped from the specific names. Hence, for example.Notothenia~ marmorata (fam. Notothenidae) islisted here as Notothenia ~.

2) No serious attempts were made to check the validityof the specific and g~neric names used by the variousauthors. The taxa I put in synonymy are those Ihappened to know about; as a .whole I have pr9bablybeen more a "lumper" than a "splitter·".

3) The genera recognized were ordered intd families bymeans of Jordan's "Classification of Fishes" (1963)but the only families considered valid are those ofBerg (i958) for the lower fishes and of Greenwoodet al. (1966) for the Teleosteans, with the exceptionof the Thunnidae and Scombridae which were ~ept separate.Thus, for example. the data of Eisele (1943) on~genus wartmanni, to be found hereunder Coregonus~~,are listed in the sidmonid family, since thecoregonid family, liGted in Jordan (1963) is considereda subfamily of the Salmonidae by Greenwood et al. (1966).

4) The families, finally are listed alphabetically (seeindex p. 23). The only exceptions pertain ·to data byHolden (1974) on the order Selachoidei which are allgrouped on one page (118), because of their controversialnature. (Holden (1974) interpreted to biologically; as

the duration of gestation period, and the length-at- agezero as birth length).

1.7.3. Conversion to uniform length measurements

A consi9-erable amount of problems have been caused bythe need to use, throughout this compilation the sametype of length measurements. Most authors do state ~he

type'of length theY measured (standard, total, fork,eye~to-fork etc.). Some however,'do not. Still there wasa need to convert the data to uniform len~th measure~

ments.The oonvention used'here is the~ hnsth,except for the large ~combroids such as tuna and bill­fishes, where fork length was used,. Obviously, caudalfilaments and the like have not been considered. Con­versions from other lengths were made by using con­version factors given by the authors themselveS; or fromfigures depicting the fishes in question. 'r have nodOUbts that, regrettably, these conversion problems areone of the main source for the errorS Which may occurin this compilation.

A few of the length growth parameters were derived fromestimates of weight growth parameters, expecially inthe case of the clupeid Brevoortia tyrannus. Such con~

versions were done on the assumption that growth isisometric. A discussion of the value of this assumptionwill be given elsewhere.

1.8. Reliability of data

The growth parameters listed here, although in many

cases calCUlated with the most sophisticated methodpresently available (Non-Linear Regression) should in

any case be used with great circumspection.

The value of Leo (and consequently of K) derived froma given set of' length-at age data are strongly affectedby biased samPling. by sex specific growth, by seasonal

. growth oscillation (espeoially in short-lived species),to mention only a few of the problems oQcuring.

The methods used provide for parameter estimates of vary~

ing quality. In term of reliability and goodnepspf ·fitthey ma~ be ordered as tollow: 4. 2, ,. 5 and. 41. 1,51.31, the second group being as a whole less reliable. than.the first.

The data of this compilation, it should be kept in minddo n2! represent a list of confirmed growth parameters,and are at the present stage nothing but.: raw data tobe used in future comparative studies of fish growth.The parameters values presented here are for generalorientation, and need to be checked in the light ofthe original growth data, and of data from !elatedstocks everytime they appear controversial.

1.9. Acknowledgement

My sincere thanks go to my supervisor Prof. Dr. G. Hempelfor his support and guidance during the course of thiswork. I would also like to thank my friend Gotz GaschUtzfor providing me with the powerful, yet versatile toolthat. his programme for non-linear. regression representsand which he offered me before I even knew that suchthings existed.My gratitude also goes to Sandra Wade who turned my hand­written bibliography and .notes into a readable whole,and to Mrs. Rockel for critically typing the manuscript.I would like to thank VIi Damm for d~scussing with mevarious aspects of, .and contributing to this compilation,and, finally Prof .. Dr. Daget of the Musee National

d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris, for permission to work in

the library of that Institution.

It is hoped that an improved versionof this compilation can be produced soon in which thereferences have been revised.
