Abstract
Growth and secondary production of the shallow water gorgonian Paramuricea clavata were investigated at an infralittoral rocky station located at the northern entrance of the Strait of Messina. Colonies were aged by counting the number of annual growth rings at the base of the skeleton. Mean annual growth rates were calculated both by field measurements and by fitting a Bertalanffy growth equation for the speciesFile in questo prodotto:
