Age and growth studies on fishes in Croatian fisheries science

Age and growth studies of fish species are one of the main analytical models to analyze the dynamics of exploited fish population. In this study the author reviews the published data on age and growth parameters of some fish species in the Eastern Adriatic. Scales and otholits were the main calcified tissues employedfor age determination, while fin rays were scarcely used. Age and growth were determined for 17 fish species, which makes 14% of 120 commercially interesting species. According to presented results we can coclude that there is still much to work to be done in age and growth determination of commercially interesting fish species.
