Abstract
The present study was carried out in two Station in Costal of the Khuzestan province (including Abadan, and Hendizan) using the commercial catch data. This project one year during 2007-2008, in addition over 2300fish caught was biometry. The growth and mortality parameters of Silver pomfert, infinity length, L∞: 35.5., growth curvature, K: 0.56., length in zero time, t0: - 0.32., total mortality, Z: 3.06., natural mortality, M: 1.07., fishing mortality, F: 1.99 and Exploitation ratio, E: 0.65 respectively were estimated. By used analysis method, Y'/R = 0.019, B'/R=0.10, Exploitation rate, U: 0.61, MSY= 440 T and MCY=290 T were estimated respectively. Result in this study showed exploitation ratio the Silver pomfert stock is over fishing and decrease exploitation ratio proposed.
