Abstract

Females are more abundant, live longer, grow faster and attain a greater length than males. Most of the growth takes place in the first 2 yr of life. The spawning season extends from December- March, with a maximum in February. Both sexes spawn for the first time in their 2nd year of life. Fecundity is length-dependent and varies between 724 and 7938. While crustaceans constitute the main bulk of the diet, polychaetes, fish and molluscs are also eaten.-from Authors
