Kingfish Growth

Recommended Posts

not to worry i found out

“the estimated size at which 50% of females and males are sexually mature is around 83cm and 43 cm FL respectively. For males this size at maturity occurs at an age less then 1 year old

Growth is rapid being nearly linear between 1 and 11 years old with fish reaching the 65cm minimum legal lenth at around 2-3 years of age”

I don't think so, the Aquaculture mentioned is a "Potential" for farming but I'm pretty sure the figures refer to wild fish.

Don't really matter anyway I guess, the growth rates seem pretty much the same in both documents except for the max size bit, perhaps it was a misprint.

Its almost as confusing as world record yellowtail (Caught on line) with one site saying 37kg and another saying 52kg.

Anyway you paint it they are awesome fish eh!

See that's what I mean Stewy, your mates record, is it world or Australian?

This website says the world record is held by a Kiwi named Matt Smith on 6Kg gear with 37.8Kg.

This website says its 52Kg but no mention of line class or angler.

Man I'm so confussed I think I'll have to lie down......

and dream of catching ANY bloody kingies!
