Abstract

Boarfish in the Northeast Atlantic have recently been exploited commercially for fishmeal. It is a sexually dimorphic species with an estimated maximum age of 26 years, late age at maturity (A₅₀ = 5.25 years), relatively fast rate of growth (K = 0.186 year^-1), and a small asymptotic length (L_∞ = 128.9 mm).
