Biological aspects of Lutjanus peru in Bufadero Bay, Michoacán, México: growth, reproduction and condition factors

Some biological aspects of Lutjanus peru (Pisces: Lutjanidae) collected from Bufadero Bay in Michoacán, Mexico, were analyzed. Scale analysis allowed determining four growth rings. Similar data were obtained with an indirect method (Kernel density estimates). Results of von Bertalanffy's growth...
