I am a bit confused of using length frequency distribution to get growth parameters of some species from family Clupeidae. Some colleagues suggested that growth parameters from VBGF that came from age reading are preferred to assess pelagic stocks. Does that make sense?
Clupeidae assessment is often carried out through eco-surveys. But in the Adriatic, Ancona's colleagues also used the VPA, estimating the growth parameters through LFDA. In 1985 we used the LFDA, on Clupeidae, for sampling designs. See: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/258725101_Use_of_ELEFAN_I_for_Sampling_Design

Thanks Dr. Leonardo. In your opinion, Are there any comments on estimating growth parameters of Clupeidae using LFDA?
