Abstract
Context: Pomatomus saltatrix is one of few globally distributed pelagic mesopredators that is exploited heavily throughout its range. Despite the implementation of management strategies, the south-western Pacific Ocean (eastern Australian) population has few published estimates of the key life-history parameters including growth.
Aims: To estimate the age and growth of P. saltatrix in the south-western Pacific and compare these with the age and growth in other populations.
Methods: Age estimates were made using whole otolith readings and an age–length key was used with a length frequency distribution to estimate the age structure of the population. Eight different growth models were compared within a Bayesian framework for both juvenile and overall growth.
Key results: The Schnute growth equation provided the best fit for overall growth and yielded parameter values of a = −0.15, b = 2.56, Size-at-age 1 = 24.38-cm fork length (FL) and Size-at-age 4 = 47.36 cm FL.
Conclusions: P. saltatrix in the south-western Pacific has a growth rate similar to that in other populations of P. saltatrix.
Implications: Despite its geographically and genetically distinct populations, P. saltatrix demonstrates a generally consistent life-history strategy of fast growth and high mortality, except for the north-western Atlantic population, which has lower mortality.
Keywords: age validation, Australian, Bayesian growth models, bluefish, life history, mortality, recreational fishing, Schnute growth curve, tailor, whole otolith.
