AgeMax: maximum age (in years; in square brackets maximum age recorded for few individuals, not used in the model); L _inf: asymptotic length (in cm); K: growth coefficient; t ₀: theoretical age at length = 0; t _m: age at first maturity; α: constant in the fecundity relationship (adjusted to standard length); β: exponent in the fecundity relationship. Values are obtained from FishBase⁴⁹ unless specified.
*Values calculated from available data for Spondyliosoma cantharus ⁷⁴; ^†data obtained for D. sargus; ^‡extrapolated values from fecundity.
