Mortality rates estimates for Metapenaeus monoceros (Fabricius) of Maputo Bay
1984
Brinca, L. | Palha De Sousa, L.
The species Metapenaeus monoceros in Maputo Bay recruits to the fishery almost all over the year, but the main recruitment occurs over a short period of time, each year, during April-May. Growth curves were constructed by following the progression of modes over a period of time. The von Bertalanffy growth parameters were estimated as L∞=31.9 mm and K(monthly)=0.25, for males, and L∞=48.3 mm and K(monthly)=0.14, for females (Brinca and Sousa, 1984). Using data on growth and length composition of the catches, the following methods were applied to estimate mortality rates of M. monoceros: estimation of natural mortality by using approximative methods; use of c.p.u.e. data; catch curves; cohort analysis; average age and length methods.
