- Abstract
The age of sea bass Dicentrarchus labrax in the Gulf of Annaba, Algeria, was determined by scalimetry. Direct reading of some scales was compared with the data obtained by back calculation; these two methods were in mutual agreement. Growth rhythm was interrupted and marked by a wintry slack. The adjustment of the growth calculations in relation to the theoretical model of von Bertalanffy gives: L[sub ∞] = 48.14, K = 0.52, t[sub o] = 0.05, with the best development beginning with 3-year-old females. The length-weight relation is: W = 6.3 × 10[sup -3] × L[sup 3,12]. The coefficient of condition K changes from 0.88 to 1.06. This work shows that the growth of sea bass in the Gulf of Annaba is better that in other study areas of the Mediterranean or Atlantic.
