“…Therefore, the shapes and AIC values can be very close or equal. Similar results have been previously described using the general model of Richards or Schnute vs. different growth submodels (Rogers-Bennett et al 2007, Flores et al 2010, Shelton et al 2006, Barreto et al 2011. The literature shows that for the multi-model inference approach applied to individual growth, it is not unusual that different candidate growth models yield equal values of AIC (Rogers-Bennett et al 2007, Flores et al 2010, Helidoniotis et al 2011).…”

“…In our study, the asymptotic growth model identified for D. gigas was based on multimodel inference; this approach is accepted for age and growth modeling as the best statistical procedure for model selection. This approach has been used in age and growth studies of other taxa, such as echinoderms (Shelton et al 2006, Flores et al 2010, fish (Araya & Cubillos 2006, Alp et al 2011, Barreto et al 2011), crustaceans (Montgomery et al 2010) and other mollusks (Rogers-Bennett et al 2007, Cruz-Vásquez et al 2012.…”

“…The method used by Tutschulte (1976) of notching the shell of juveniles may further slow growth while the individuals repair the shell. Time to reach the MLSr for red abalone in northern California was 12 yr (Rogers-Bennett et al 2007). We suggest that our growth estimates may be conservative which are generally preferred for use in the evaluation of recovery strategies.…”

Pink abalone Haliotis corrugata have declined dramatically in southern California despite once being the most important species in the abalone fishery before its closure in 1997. We estimated vital rates using mark-recapture data of pink abalone from San Diego (2003Diego ( -2007 and Santa Catalina Island (1970-1972, California, and juveniles reared in the laboratory in San Diego (2006)(2007). We fit 7 growth functions to annual growth increment data to estimate age at maturity, time to reach the minimum legal size (MLS) in the historic fishery, and the number of reproductive years before reaching the MLS. We used demographic data to construct a growth transition probability matrix based on the best-fit (Richards) model. We estimated that pink abalone grow slowly (k = 0.07 yr ). We used non-lethal methods to estimate size at maturity, which was 99 mm for males and 103 mm for females (8.2 to 8.7 yr), with 19 yr to reach fishery size. Survival rates in this population did not differ between years or genders, but severe cuts to the foot during handling did decrease survivorship. Despite low population densities, we show evidence of some juvenile recruitment to the region. The slow growth rates suggest that the populations within the southern California abalone fishery closure area could take 30 yr to recover, provided there is successful reproduction and the high survival of adults continues without illegal fishing. Estimating vital rates and demographic characteristics using non-lethal methods provides critical information for investigating the dynamics of low-density populations.

“…However, although they have an external shell on which marks or tags can be attached with little or no adverse effects (Gosselin 1993), mark-recapture studies with gastropods are not very frequent (Henry and Jarne 2007), including for estimating growth (e.g. Appeldoorn 1988, Eversole and Anderson 1988, Kraeuter et al 1989, Castagna and Kraeuter 1994, Haaker et al 1998, Vasconcelos et al 2006, Rogers-Bennett et al 2007. Diverse techniques are considered suitable for marking gastropods (Hancock and Urquhart 1959, Nielsen 1992, Gosselin 1993, Stewart and Creese 2000, Crowe et al 2001, Henry and Jarne 2007, but probably the most common and reliable method for long-term studies is gluing tags to the shell (Henry and Jarne 2007), a technique that has been successfully employed for several gastropod species (Eversole and Anderson 1988, Kraeuter et al 1989, Debrot 1990, McShane and Smith 1992, Treble et al 1993, Castell et al 1996, Stewart and Creese 2000, Amos and Purcell 2003, Vasconcelos et al 2006.…”

SUMMARY: The present study reports the growth rate of the purple dye murex, Bolinus brandaris (Gastropoda: Muricidae), estimated from mark-recapture experiments. A total of 1067 specimens (shell length = 43.4±8.1 mm, range = 14.6−78.4 mm) were marked with Dymo ® tape tags and released in a semi-intensive fish culture earthen pond. After a period at liberty ranging from almost two months to around two years, 288 individuals were recaptured (shell length = 67.4±6.2 mm, range = 45.3−88.6 mm), which corresponded to a recapture rate of 27.0%. At recapture, only one specimen had lost the tag (tag loss rate <0.1%) and all remaining tags were intact and legible. Mean monthly growth rates were 0.9±1.0 mm in shell length, 0.4±0.5 mm in shell width and 0.7±0.7 g in total weight. Growth rates showed high inter-individual variability and an evident decreasing trend with specimen size. Comparison of growth rates with similar information available for other muricids confirmed that B. brandaris is a relatively slow-growing species. This provides valuable information for both fisheries management and for assessing the potential of B. brandaris as a candidate species for molluscan aquaculture.Keywords: purple dye murex, Bolinus brandaris, Gastropoda, Muricidae, mark-recapture, growth rate. RESUMEN: Crecimiento de la cañailla, Bolinus Brandaris (Gastropoda: Muricidae), mediante técnicas de marcado-recaptura realizadas en estanques de cultivo semiintensivo de peces. -Se ha estudiado el crecimiento de la cañailla Bolinus brandaris (Gastropoda: Muricidae) mediante técnicas de marcado-recaptura. Se marcaron un total de 1067 individuos (longitud concha = 43.4±8.1 mm, rango = 14.6−78.4 mm) con etiquetas plásticas Dymo, que fueron puestos en libertad en un estanque en tierra dedicado al cultivo semiintensivo de peces. En el plazo de tiempo comprendido entre dos meses y dos años, se recuperaron 288 ejemplares (longitud concha = 67.4±6.2 mm, rango = 45.3−88.6 mm), lo que corresponde a una tasa de recaptura del 27.0%. Las etiquetas permanecieron intactas y legibles en todos los ejemplares recuperados, a excepción de un único individuo (tasa de pérdida de marca <0.1%). La tasa de crecimiento media mensual estimada fue de 0.9±1.0 mm de longitud, 0.4±0.5 mm de anchura y 0.7±0.7 g de peso total. Esta tasa muestra una elevada variabilidad intraespecífica y una tendencia clara a la disminución con el aumento de la talla. Comparando las tasas de crecimiento obtenidas en este estudio con la información disponible sobre diversas especies de murícidos, se confirma que B. brandaris es un gasterópodo de crecimiento relativamente lento. Este estudio resulta de interés tanto para gestionar la pesca de este recurso como para evaluar el potencial de la especie como candidata a ser cultivada.
