New Data on the Biology of Verasper moseri Jordan & Gilbert, 1898 (Actinopherygii: Pleuronectidae) from the Coastal Waters of Kunashir Island
摘要
Abstract
This study presents new data on the size and age classes and the rates of linear growth and sexual maturation of individuals of the barfin flounder Verasper moseri Jordan & Gilbert, 1898 (Actinopherygii: Pleuronectidae) captured in May–June 2021–2024 in the coastal waters of Kunashir Island. The possible causes of the increased frequency of captures of this species near the southern Kuril Islands are discussed.
