Abstract

Relative abundance, seasonal occurrence, population structure and growth-rate are described for a population of the grey mullet Liza aurata from Langstone Harbour, Hampshire. The occurrence of juveniles as small as 21 mm is interpreted as evidence for spawning in British waters, but no direct information on spawning areas or spawning seasons was obtained.
