Does anyone have a paper with the growth parameters (K, Loo and T0) of Bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) in Mediterranean sea and Gulf of Mexico?
Hi Roberto,
Here is a summary document from the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT). This document includes the information you are looking for, and is available in Spanish, English and French. I've also attached another document that summarizes the growth parameters that are adopted by ICCAT for use in stock assessments.
ICCAT is the regional fisheries management organization (RFMO) that manages tunas and tuna-like species in the Atlantic Ocean and adjacent Seas. You can find more information on their website. In particular, look at the "ICCAT Manual".

Hope this helps!

thank you Shannon!!.
In fact I had already seen the manual, but I feel are very different in the K value for each author becose some one use spines other otolits etc... the growth Appendix 4.1 you send me I didnt have it, I red it and is very intersting ! , thank you very much, also I found a document that unifies all iccat catch datas to standardize these parameters (k, to, Loo) and eliminate some errors, I dont know if youve read it but I will attached you in case you want to check it, is very intersting.
Thanks for all!
I didn´t read much, but I just found these two works. I hope these papers can help you.

THANKS TO SHANNON, GONZALO AND JEAN!! THANKS FOR ALL HELP :) I READ ALL PAPERS AND NOW I CAN HAVE A BETTER IDEA TO SELECT THE PARAMETERS
You will also find here attached a former reference wich could be helpfull. Westman, J.R. and P.W. Gilbert, 1941. Notes on the age determination and growth of the Atlantic bluefin tuna, Thunnus thynnus (Linnaeus). Copeia 1941(2):70-72.
