Abstract

Growth parameters of areolate grouper Epinephelus areolatus (Forsskl 1775) in Terengganu waters were determined by using length frequency analysis. A total of 606 samples from two main fish landing ports in Terengganu were collected monthly between February 2014 and January 2015. Growth parameters were estimated by using FISAT II (FAO-ICLARM stock assessment tools) computer software package which includes a direct fit of length frequency data by ELEFAN I method. The von Bertalanffy growth parameters for E. areolatus from Pulau Kambing fish landing port were L 50.40 cm and K 0.36 y-1 meanwhile samples from Kuala Dungun were L 48.30 cm and K 0.32 y-1. The length weight relationship for E. areolatus from Pulau Kambing was y 2.9546x “ 4.1931 and from Kuala Dungun fish landing port was y 2.9438x “ 4.1492. The present research findings are important for future studies and relevant for the stock assessment and fishery management of E. areolatus in Terengganu waters.
