These data sets contain raw and processed data to compare life history demographic information necessary to manage spotted seatrout in NW Florida. Specific objectives were to develop estuary-specific information on age growth, mortality rates, spawning seasonality, age size at maturity, and age size composition of the recreational fishery for Apalachicola, St. Joseph, St. Andrew, Choctawhatchee, Pensacola, and Perdido Bay systems.
