Çalışma periyodu süresince, 38-80 m derinliklerde yapılmış olan trol çekimlerinden elde edilen toplam 2375 birey incelenmiş ve bu örneklerin 7.6-46.2 cm total boy ve 2.09-766.0 g total ağırlıklar arasında bulunduğu tespit edilmiştir. Otolitlerden yapılan yaş tayinleri sonucunda örneklerin 0+ ile V yaş grupları arasında dağılım gösterdiği saptanmıştır. Ortalama total boy değerlerinden hesaplanan von Bertalanffy büyüme parametreleri dişi, erkek ve tüm bireyler için sırasıyla; L=53.49 cm, 47.49 cm ve 53.90 cm; k=0.385, 0.349 ve 0.377 yıl-1; t0=-0.078, -0.112 ve -0.045 yıl; gelişim performansı indeksi (Ф) değerleri ise 2.895, 3.042 ve 3.040 olarak bulunmuştur</p></abstract>
