Abstract

Growth, mortality, recruitment and yield-per-recruit of Strombus canarium Linnaeus, 1758 wereestimated using length- frequency data collected from Sungai Pulai Estuary, West Johor Straits, PeninsularMalaysia from January to December 2005. The relative growth was isometric type with the exponent ‘b’of the length-weight relationship was very close to 3 (3.05 ± 0.04 S.E.). The von Bertalanffy growth 4 function (V.B.G.F) estimates were: L = 69.91 mm shell length; K = 1.30 year. The growth performance!1 index (φ’) was estimated as 3.803. Total mortality (Z) was computed as 2.42 year while the natural (M)!1 and fishing (F) mortalities were estimated at 0.93 yearand 1.49 year respectively. The recruitment!1!1 pattern was continuous with one major peak within the months of June to August. The exploitation ratio(E = F/Z) was 0.61 revealed over exploited stock conditions in the study area.
