Data on age estimation and growth of Alepocephalus rostratus (Osteichthyes) (TL 9.7-45.7 cm) in the Sardinian Channel (Central-Western Mediterranean) are reported. High correlations between morphometric variables (TL, WT, OL, OW) were found. Considering the otolith rings as annual, this species was found to be very long-lived (maximum 21 yr) with a very slow growth rate.

Abstract

Data on age estimation and growth of Alepocephalus rostratus (Osteichthyes) (TL 9.7-45.7 cm) in the Sardinian Channel (Central-Western Mediterranean) are reported. High correlations between morphometric variables (TL, WT, OL, OW) were found. Considering the otolith rings as annual, this species was found to be very long-lived (maximum 21 yr) with a very slow growth rate.
