    Abstract: Length frequency data of Pomadasys maculatus (Bloch, 1793) was collected during 2012 and 2014 from Pakistan waters. Total 1387 fish individuals (pooled) were collected ranging from 7-22 cm (total length). Weight ranging 5-105 g. The data were analyzed for the estimation of population dynamics. The power coefficient of 2.532 in 2012 and 2.560 in 201... Show More
