1 size at maturity – fork length (mm) at 50%maturity;
2 maximum size – maximum fork length (mm) reported;
3 growth rate – von Bertalanffy growth coefficient (k)
determined from a size-at-age curve (if the value of k
was not published in the literature, it was calculated
from available data);
4 fecundity – mid-point of the reported range of
number of eggs per individual;
5 maximum age in years;
6 egg size – mean diameter (mm) of mature oocytes;
7 parental investment – using the approach outlined
by Winemiller (1989), which quantifies three components
of parental investment:
