Abstract
Growth
and mortality parameters, exploitation rates and
annual recruitment patterns were estimated from
monthly length-frequency samples for Sardinella
longiceps, S.fimbriata, S.albella, Decapterus
macrosoma , Dipterygonatus
balteatus, Rastrelliger faughni and
Encrasicolina heteroloba.
These results provide
the first sets of stock parameter estimates for
these species off Tawi-Tawi, Philippines. The
growth parameters derived were found comparable
with previous estimates available for the same
species from other localities. Recruitment was
noted to be year-round and bimodal. Estimates
of fishing mortality and exploitation rate were
found to be presently above appropriate levels.
