Abstract
The age and growth of Gomphina (Macridiscus) veneriformis sampled from February 2006 to January 2007 on the Wonsan coast of East Sea were determined from 3,899 shell. Age of Gomphina (Macridiscus) veneriformis was estimated from the ring on the surface of shell. The relationship between shell length (SL) and shell height (SH) was expressed by the following equation : SH = 0.7405 SL + 0.2227 ($R^2$ = 0.9671), and shell length (SL) and shell width (SW) was highly correlated by the equation : SW = 0.3657 SL + 0.4253 ($R^2$ = 0.922). The relationship between shell length (SL) and total weight (TW) was also expressed by the following equation : $TW=0.4274{\times}10^{-3}{\times}SL^{2.7876}$ ($R^2$ = 0.9591). The main spawning periods was estimated August through fatness index analysis. Based on the monthly variations in the marginal index (MI) of the shell, it is assumed that the ring of this species was formed once a year during the period of July. Growth curves for shell length (SL) and total weight (TW) fitted to the von Bertalanffy's equation were expressed as follows : $$SL_t=70.80(1-e^{-0.217(t+0.367)})$$ $$TW_t=(1-e^{-0.217(t+0.367)})^{2.7876}$$
