dc.description.abstract	Production of Gafrarium pectinatum was characterized by the presence of 0,1 and 2 y age groups Average monthly growth in length varied from 0.6 to 3mm The relationship between length and weight was isometric The average biomass was 0.21 g (dry wt)m -2 and total production 3.16 g (dry wt)m-2y-1 Production:biomass was 1:4.93 The production was maximum during the 1st y of life.
