Astropecten aranciacus growth between November 2009 and October 2012 estimated from bimonthly progression of mean length of each cohort (±SD) in length-frequency distributions in both bathymetrical ranges: a 5–30 m and b 50–150 m. Each symbol corresponds to different sea star cohorts. In a white triangles cohort C-1, gray triangles C-2 and black triangles C-3; in b white triangles cohort C-4, gray triangles C-5 and black triangles C-6. The black line sea water temperature at −20 m (a) and at −80 m (b)
