Growth analysis of white mullet Mugil curema (Valenciennes, 1836) (Pisces: Mugilidae) in the Cuyutlán Lagoon, Colima, México
The parameters from von Bertalanffy's growth equation were estimated for Mugil curema located in Cuyutlan coastal lagoon in Colima, Mexico. Growth parameters were L∞= 364.7 mm, W∞ = 456.61 g, k = 0.219, t o = -1.557, (A 0.95) = 15 years. Some important differences among growth rates of this species from other areas were observed. Significant differences in the growth rate between sexes were found: females: L∞ = 365.8 mm, k = 0.221, t o = -0.505; A0.95 = 14 years; males: L∞ = 322.0 mm, k = 0.251, t o = -0.441, A0.95 = 12 years.
