“…Furthermore, the study corroborated the presence of strong sexual dimorphism [47], a finding consistent with data collected and analyzed in other regions [19], irrespective of the algorithm utilized for estimation. Additionally, the growth performance index [48] demonstrated a higher value for females compared to males, a trend observed in prior studies [19,50].…”

“…As reported by other authors [49,50], P. kerathurus exhibits a protracted spawning period that results in different microcohorts recruiting to the fishery in slightly different steps and constituting the first cohort. The fluctuating recruitment and the extended spawning period of these short-lived penaeids are reflected in a more difficult modal progression analysis and identification of each 0+ cohort [19].…”

“…Firstly, environmental factors such as temperature and prey availability exert a significant influence on the growth and development of marine organisms [19,50]. Variations in habitat characteristics and resource availability across different regions can result in distinct physiological responses and growth trajectories among populations of the same species.…”

Crustacean fisheries are gaining prominence globally amid a decline in finfish stocks. Some decapod crustacean species have experienced increased landings in response to shifting market demands and environmental dynamics. Notably, the caramote prawn (Penaeus kerathurus—Forskål, 1775) in the northern Adriatic Sea, Geographical Sub Area (GSA) 17, has risen in both landings and economic importance in recent years. However, despite its significance, comprehensive information on fishery-dependent data, age, and growth in this region remains lacking. To address this gap, this study employs modal progression analysis and the ELEFAN approach, utilizing the “TropFishR” R package and newly developed functions, including bootstrapping procedures. These advancements aim to overcome issues identified in previous versions and enhance the accuracy and reliability of age and growth estimations. The study leverages one year of monthly length-frequency distributions (LFDs) collected from commercial bottom trawls in the northern Adriatic Sea. The results of the analysis confirm the presence of sexual dimorphism in the caramote prawn species, with females exhibiting faster growth rates compared to males. Additionally, the growth performance index supports this observation, further underscoring the importance of accounting for sexual dimorphism in growth modeling and fisheries management strategies. By contributing to a growing body of knowledge on the growth dynamics of the caramote prawn, this study provides valuable insights for sustainable fisheries management in the northern Adriatic Sea. Understanding the age and growth patterns of key crustacean species is essential for developing effective conservation measures and ensuring the long-term health and productivity of marine ecosystems. The findings of this study serve as a foundation for informed decision-making and proactive management practices aimed at preserving the ecological integrity and economic viability of crustacean fisheries in the region.
