Preliminary estimation of growth in Cheimerius nufar (Sparidae) from southern Mozambique

On the basis of length-frequency data collected in 1987, by the hook-and-line fishery research program, preliminary estimates of the parameters of a seasonally oscillating version of the von Bertalanffy equation for Cheimerius nufar (Ehrenberg, 1830) were obtained, i.e., TL∞=70 cm and K=0.17 yearˉ¹. A discussion of these results is provided.
