Summary: | <qd> White, E., Minto, C., Nolan, C. P., King, E., Mullins, E., and Clarke, M. 2011. First estimates of age, growth, and maturity of boarfish ( Capros aper ): a species newly exploited in the Northeast Atlantic. – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 68: 61–66. </qd>Boarfish in the Northeast Atlantic have recently been exploited commercially for fishmeal. It is a sexually dimorphic species with an estimated maximum age of 26 years, late age at maturity ( A 50 = 5.25 years), relatively fast rate of growth ( K = 0.186 year−1), and a small asymptotic length ( L ∞ = 128.9 mm). |
