| description |
The age and growth patterns of the mesopelagic fish Ceratoscopelus maderensis (family Myctophidae) of the western Mediterranean Sea were described throughout its entire life cycle (from larvae to adult stages) using the sagittae otoliths of 59 individuals collected in December 2009. Three characteristic zones were identified along the cross-section of the sagittae (larval, metamorphic and juvenile-adult zones). Assuming growth rings as daily increments, the age of the analysed individuals (from 3.5 to 64 mm standard length [SL]) would range from 7 to 332 days. The relationship between the number of increments and the fish SL was fitted to a von Bertalanffy growth model (SL=70.5899Å~(1–exp(–0.0501(t+2.6705))). The growth pattern of C. maderensis in the western Mediterranean Sea was similar to that reported for this species in the northeast Atlantic Ocean. Though from a body size of 40-45 mm SL, growth rates declined more slowly in individuals from the western Mediterranean Sea, growth differences between these individuals and those from the northeast Atlantic Ocean were not statistically significant. This study provides new insights into the age and growth patterns of one of the most abundant mesopelagic fish species in the Mediterranean Sea that have clear implications for the study and management of marine ecosystems. En el presente trabajo se describen la edad y los patrones de crecimiento desde la fase larvaria hasta la fase adulta del pez mesopelágico Ceratoscopelus maderensis (familia Myctophidae) del Mediterráneo occidental. Para ello, se analizó el otolito sagitta de 59 individuos capturados en diciembre de 2009. Se identificaron tres zonas en la sagitta, cada una de las cuales se corresponde con una fase del desarrollo ontogenético del pez: larvaria, metamórfica y juvenil-adulta. Asumiendo que los anillos de crecimiento son diarios, la edad de los individuos analizados (de 3.5 a 64 mm de longitud estándar [SL]) oscilaría entre 7 y 332 días. La relación entre el número de incrementos y la SL de los peces se ajustó al modelo de crecimiento de von Bertalanffy (SL=70.5899×(1–exp(–0.0501(t+2.6705))). El patrón de crecimiento de C. maderensis en el Mediterráneo occidental fue similar al previamente descrito para esta especie en el Noreste del Océano Atlántico. A pesar de que, a partir de 40-45 mm SL, las tasas de crecimiento disminuyeron más lentamente en los individuos del Mediterráneo occidental, las diferencias de crecimiento entre estos individuos y los del Noreste del Océano Atlántico no fueron estadísticamente significativas. Los resultados de este estudio aportan nuevos conocimientos sobre la edad y el crecimiento de una de las especies más abundantes del Mar Mediterráneo, lo cual tiene claras implicaciones de cara al estudio y la gestión de los ecosistemas marinos. |

Three characteristic zones were identified along the cross-section of the sagittae (larval, metamorphic and juvenile-adult zones). Assuming growth rings as daily increments, the age of the analysed individuals (from 3.5 to 64 mm standard length [SL]) would range from 7 to 332 days. The relationship between the number of increments and the fish SL was fitted to a von Bertalanffy growth model (SL=70.5899Å~(1–exp(–0.0501(t+2.6705))). The growth pattern of C. maderensis in the western Mediterranean Sea was similar to that reported for this species in the northeast Atlantic Ocean. Though from a body size of 40-45 mm SL, growth rates declined more slowly in individuals from the western Mediterranean Sea, growth differences between these individuals and those from the northeast Atlantic Ocean were not statistically significant. This study provides new insights into the age and growth patterns of one of the most abundant mesopelagic fish species in the Mediterranean Sea that have clear implications for the study and management of marine ecosystems. En el presente trabajo se describen la edad y los patrones de crecimiento desde la fase larvaria hasta la fase adulta del pez mesopelágico Ceratoscopelus maderensis (familia Myctophidae) del Mediterráneo occidental. Para ello, se analizó el otolito sagitta de 59 individuos capturados en diciembre de 2009. Se identificaron tres zonas en la sagitta, cada una de las cuales se corresponde con una fase del desarrollo ontogenético del pez: larvaria, metamórfica y juvenil-adulta. Asumiendo que los anillos de crecimiento son diarios, la edad de los individuos analizados (de 3.5 a 64 mm de longitud estándar [SL]) oscilaría entre 7 y 332 días. La relación entre el número de incrementos y la SL de los peces se ajustó al modelo de crecimiento de von Bertalanffy (SL=70.5899×(1–exp(–0.0501(t+2.6705))). El patrón de crecimiento de C. maderensis en el Mediterráneo occidental fue similar al previamente descrito para esta especie en el Noreste del Océano Atlántico. A pesar de que, a partir de 40-45 mm SL, las tasas de crecimiento disminuyeron más lentamente en los individuos del Mediterráneo occidental, las diferencias de crecimiento entre estos individuos y los del Noreste del Océano Atlántico no fueron estadísticamente significativas. Los resultados de este estudio aportan nuevos conocimientos sobre la edad y el crecimiento de una de las especies más abundantes del Mar Mediterráneo, lo cual tiene claras implicaciones de cara al estudio y la gestión de los ecosistemas marinos.
