Title: Studies on the growth and population dynamics ofSilverbelly Leiognathus bindus (Valenciennes) inthe trawling grounds off Kakinada
Abstract: Leiognathus bindus attains average lengths of 72, 110 and 132 mm at the
completion of first, second and third years, respectively. The parameters of von
Bertalanffy growth equation are estimated as: Loc =; 158.4 mm, K = 0.58 per
year and t, •= —0.024 year. Instantaneous rates of mortality are estimated as
Z = 5.2, M = 1.5 and F = 3.7. The yield per recruit analysis shows that the
yield of L. bindus can be increased by increasing the cod-end mesh size of trawl
nets.
