  • Guanco, M.R.

Abstract

The growth of Indian mackeral Rastrelliger kanagurta in the Visayas Sea, central Philippines, is estimated, based on length-frequency data from 1983 to 1987 and the Compleat ELEFAN program. Results are TL8 = 38 cm and K = 0.8 year -1. These estimates are tentative and other vital statistics could not be estimated due to the absence of small fish in the available catch samples.
