Abstract
In order to understand the age and growth characteristics of Pacific anchovy, Engraulis japonicus, the 506 otoliths of individuals collected in the southern waters of Korea in 2004 were analyzed. Monthly age of anchovies was estimated based on the age determined through the year rings and their collection date. The growth parameters obtained using the monthly folk lengths were a theoretical maximum body length of 132.9 mm, a growth coefficient of 0.1079/month and a theoretical age of 0.0262 month when the fork length is zero. The growth equation of von Bertalanffy presented by the growth parameters was Lt=132.9(1-e-0.1079(t-1.0262)). The estimation of growth parameters based on the monthly age established through year ring and collection date was deemed appropriate for understanding the growth characteristics of anchovies.
