This study presents the first data on the growth and age of Schmidt's cod, a rare and poorly studied member of the Moridae family. The research focused on the Emperor Seamounts area and investigated the age, growth rates, and longevity of this species. The analysis involved examining annual growth increments on sagittal otoliths. The results showed that Schmidt's cod can live up to 49 years, with a mean age of 31.5 years, emphasizing its long lifespan and slow growth.
This study presents the first data of growth and age of Schmidt's cod Lepidion schmidti, a rare and poorly studied member of the Moridae family (Gadiformes, Teleostei). The research was focused on the Emperor Seamounts area with the aim of investigating the age, growth rates, and longevity of this species. The analysis involved examining annual growth increments on sagittal otoliths. Data were taken from longline catches in 2014 and 2016, resulting in the collection of 140 individuals and the use of 70 otoliths for age determination. The results revealed that Schmidt's cod can live for up to 49 years, with a mean age of 31.5 years in the catches. The relationship between body weight and total length was described by a power function, indicating positive allometric growth. The most suitable growth model for this species was determined to be the Von Bertalanffy growth equation. These results provide valuable insights to add to the limited knowledge of growth and age in the Moridae family and emphasize the long lifespan and slow growth of Schmidt's cod.
