Abstract

Samples of gilthcad seabream Sparus aurata (N=1065), used in this study, were caught in the Gulf of Gabes (Tunisia) from March 2008 to February 2010. Total length ranged from 10 to 35 cm. Parameters of the length -weight relationship (TW = aTL(h)) for all individuals were a = 0.0107 and b = 3.0799. The youngest specimen in this study was 0+ years, whereas the oldest one was 7 years. The Von Bertalanffy growth parameters for both sexes were: L infinity = 47.18 cm, k = 0.116 and tO = -2.954 years.
