Sex ratios are given for length and age classes, indicating the males change sex mainly at lengths between 25.0 and 32.5 cm, in age classes 4 to 7, with more than 30% of the population changing sex in age class 6 to 7. Males were also observed up to a length of 34.5 cm. Length-weight relationship showed no significant difference from isometric growth in winter (b = 3.05) and a negative allometric growth in summer (b = 2.69). The age composition was established using the Bhattacharya method and additional observations of annual rings on scales. Six age classes were obtained from Kaštela Bay (age 3: 21.7 cm, age 4: 26.5 cm, age 5: 28.4 cm, age 6: 30.3 cm, age 7: 31.6 cm, age 8: 33.4 cm) and from Mirna Bay (age 2.5: 19.4 cm, age 3.5: 24.1 cm, age 4.5: 26.9, age 5.5: 29.4 cm, age 6.5: 31.3 cm, age 7.5: 32.8 cm). Von Bertalanffy's growth equation was fitted to these mean length-at-age data resulting in parameter values of L∞= 36.2 cm, K = 0.297, t0=−0.08 for Kašela Bay and L∞= 37.3 cm, K = 0.262, t0=−0.39 for Mirna Bay.
