The study evaluated some aspect of population parameters of Pseudotolithus senegalensis and Pseudotolithus typus within Liberia’s coastal waters. A total of 177 and 152 samples of P. senegalensis and P. typus respectively were collected from July to December, 2016. Individual fish samples was measured for standard length and analysed using FiSAT II software. From the results, P. senegalensis growth parameter were estimated at asymptotic length (L∞)=66.68 cm, growth rate (K)=0.13 yr-1, the longevity (tmax)=21.49 years, theoretical age at birth (t0)=-1.586 years and growth performance index (φ')=2.762. While P. typus growth parameters asymptotic length (L∞)=66.68 cm, growth rate (K)=0.14 yr-1, the longevity (tmax)=19.3 years, theoretical age at birth (t0)=-2.126 years and growth performance index (φ')=2.294. Mortality parameters for P. senegalensis and .. Read More»
