AGE READINGS AND ASSESSMENT IN COASTAL BATOID ELASMOBRANCHS FROM SMALL-SCALE SIZE-SELECTIVE FISHERY: THE IMPORTANCE OF DATA COMPARABILITY IN MULTISPECIFIC ASSEMBLAGES.
Umberto Scacco, Fabiana Zanardi, Silvio Kroha…·Giuseppe Nascetti
The paper develops a method to estimate age and growth parameters of batoid elasmobranchs using vertebral band pairs, showing that body size is a better predictor of age than vertebral size and that Gompertz models outperform Von Bertalanffy models.
