Abstract--The bastard grunt (Pomadasys incisus) is one of the most abundant coastal demersal fishes inhabiting the Canary Islands. Age and growth were studied from samples collected between October 2000 and September 2001. Growth analysis revealed that this species is a fast growing and moderately short-lived species (ages up to seven years recorded). Length-at-age was described by the van Bertalanffy growth model ([L.sub.[infinity]]=309.58 mm k=0.220/year; [t.sub.0]=-1.865 year), ...
<[F.sub.0.05;1560]), and a significant difference was found between the von Bertalanffy growth models and the Schnute growth model with the same test (F>
