Description 201-205
This study first describes the age and
growth of the cortes geoduck Panopea
globosa in the upper Gulf of California.
Ages were from 2 to 34 years old but mode was 11 and 12 y. Average size was
146±3 mm
shell length. According to the VBGM,
the asymptotic length of the shell in cortes geoduck P. globosa off Puerto Peñasco (located in the upper Gulf of California) was 163.88 mm and the growth
coefficient (k) was 0.17. It is recorded a P.
globosa of 34 y old and the nearest was another individual 22 y. This shows
that cortes geoduck from the upper Gulf of California
is a recently settled populations. Being a recently detected species this
information become important for biological knowledge and for managerial
purpose as fishery.
