The fish were captured by sport fishermen using different sizes of hook-and-line. The reproductive period of P. brasiliensis extends from August to March, presenting greater activity from October to February. Females reach first maturation at 15.4 cm total length (TL). Of the 466 scales analyzed, one to six annuli were found. Growth annuli are formed between June and August, corresponding to the winter period (southern hemisphere), with the first visible annulus being formed when the fish are 1.5 years old. The length growth curve for P. brasiliensis females is described as: Lt = 20.0 (1 − e−0.564×t), TL in centimeters and age in years. The undersize asymptotic length may be a result of excessive fishing mortality on the studied population. Citing Literature Volume21, Issue2April 2005Pages 94-100 RelatedInformation
