Patterns of reproductive strategy parameters in some marine teleost fishes
The development of ideas and methods in the quantitative study of the patterns of growth, maturation and longevity in fish is reviewed. Earlier studies on length and age at maturity, von Bertalanffy growth formula parameters, natural mortality and maximum age for clupeiformes, pleuronectiformes, gad...

The development of ideas and methods in the quantitative study of the patterns of growth, maturation and longevity in fish is reviewed. Earlier studies on length and age at maturity, von Bertalanffy growth formula parameters, natural mortality and maximum age for clupeiformes, pleuronectiformes, gadiformes and Sebastes spp. are up‐dated and extended. The concept of the Growth‐Maturity‐Longevity (GML) plot is developed and applied. GML plots for the gadiformes and pleuronectiformes occupy the same two‐dimensional space, but those for clupeiformes and Sebastes are located differently from them and from each other.
