Age estimation and the best model selection of the tentacled blenny Parablennius tentacularis (Brünnich, 1768) in the southeastern Black Sea

Abstract



By the study's coverage, a total of 522 tentacled blennies (Parablennius tentacularis (Brünnich, 1768)), were caught by commercial fisheries and the bottom trawl operations in scientific field surveys between May 2010 and March 2012 from the southeastern Black Sea. The size distribution range of the sample varied between 4.8-10.8 cm. The difference between sex length (K-S test, Z=3.729, P=0.000) and weight frequency distributions (K-S test, Z=3.605, P=0.000) was found to be statistically significant. The length-weight relationship models were defined as isometric with W = 0.009L3.034 in male individuals and positive allometric with W = 0.006L3.226 in female individuals. Otolith and vertebra samples were compared for the selection of the most accurate hard structure that can be used to determine the age. Otolith was chosen as the most suitable hard structure. The current data set was used to predict the best growth model. For this purpose, the growth parameters were estimated with the widely used von Bertalanffy, Gompertz, Logistic growth functions. Akaike's Information Criterion (AIC), Lmak./L∞ ratio, and R2 criteria were used to select the most accurate growth models established through these functions. Model averaged parameters were calculated with multi-model inference (MMI): L'∞ = 15.091 cm, S.E. (L'∞) = 3.966, K'= 0.232 year-1, S.E. (K') = 0.122.  functions.
