Abstract
Studies on the morphometric characteristics and the age and growth of Mugil cephalus (L.) of Bardawil Lake, Egypt, showed that the regression of body measurements on total length was linear and revealed that the standard length, pectoral fin depth and dorsal fin depth were different than the caudal peduncle and head length. Age and growth studies also showed that a straight line relation was determined between scale radius and body length as expressed by the following equation: Y =−1.2127 + 1.0850X. Accordingly, M. cephalus attained mean lengths of 14.2, 20.6, 23.9, 26.4, 28.5 and 30.0 cm at 1 to 6 years of age, respectively. Growth of the species is represented by the von Bertalanffy growth equation as: Lt=45(1−exp−(t−to)).
