Abstract

Age and growth of the yellow goosefish, Lophius litulon, were studied using samples collected from the southwestern waters of Korea. Vertebrae of the fish had relatively clear annuli on their surface. The opaque zone of vertebrae was formed once a year between March and April. The oldest fish observed in this study was 8 years old for females and 5 years old for males. The relationship between the radius (R) of vertebral centrum and total length (L) was as follows: L=12.7+4.8R for females and L=9.8+5.6R for males. The relationship between total length and body weight (W) was as follows : $W=0.0089L^{3.0311}$ for females and $W=0.0329L^{2.7752}$ for males. Growth in length of the fish was expressed by the von Bertalanffy's equation as $L_t=127.60(1-e^{-0.1228(t+0.3851)})$ for females and $L_t=82.23(1-e^{-0.1832(t+0.6431)})$ for males.

1995년 1월부터 12월까지 한국 남서해역 (제주도 부근)에서 매월 어획된 황아귀를 대상으로 연령과 성장을 조사하였다. 연령사정은 척추골을 이용하였다. 황아귀 척추골의 추체에 윤문이 형성되는 시기는 3$\~$4월경으로 산란시기와 거의 일치하였다. 암컷의 연령은 8세까지, 그리고 수컷은 5세까지 나타났다. 추체경 (R)과 전장 (L) 사이에는 암컷의 경우 L=12.7+4.8R, 그리고 수컷의 경우 L=9.8+5.6R의 관계식을 보였다 전장과 체중 (W) 사이에는 암컷의 경우 $W=0.0089L^{3.0311}$, 그리고 수컷의 경우 $W=0.0329L^{2.7752}$의 관계식을 보였다 황아귀의 성장식은 암컷의 경우 $L_t=127.60(1-e^{-0.1228(t+0.3851)})$ 이었으며, 수컷은 $L_t=82.23(1-e^{-0.1832(t+0.6431)})$ 이었다.
