An integrated growth study for North Atlantic albacore (Thunnus alalunga Bonn. 1788)
Abstract The growth of North Atlantic albacore (Thunnus alalunga) was studied using three methods. Spines collected during a fishing season (n = 761) were read and used to estimate growth parameters. Additional growth estimates were obtained by applying MULTIFAN to quarterly size frequency distribut...
