Sex-specific Growth and Mortality, Spawning Season, and Female Maturation of the Stripey Bass (Lutjanus carponotatus) on the Great Barrier Reef

Sex-specific demography and reproductive biology of stripey bass (Lutjanus carponotatus) (also known as Spanish flag snapper, FAO) were examined at the Palm and Lizard island groups, Great Barrier Reef(GBR). The results caution against assessing reef-fish stocks without reference to sex-, size-, and location-specific biological traits.
