Some population parameters of Ruditapes philippinarum (Bivalvia, Veneridae) on the southern coast of the Marmara Sea, Turkey

Table 1 Seasonal and non-seasonal von Bertalanffy growth parameters estimated from length–frequency distribution analysis of R. philippinarum

L _∞ The asymptotic total length (mm), K the growth curvature parameter (year⁻¹), t ₀ the theoretical age at which the length is zero (year), t _s is the phase of the seasonal oscillations, C the relative amplitude of the seasonal oscillations, Ø′ the growth performance index, WP winter point, A ₉₅ the maximum lifespan, Rn goodness of fit index
