Resumen

Este estudio analiza las tasas de crecimiento de los alevines de atún rojo en el Mediterráneo. Se examinaron las posibles diferencias en las tasas de crecimiento entre diferentes años: 2013 y 2016 y diferentes regiones: oriental, central y occidental. Se determinó la edad de un total 134 ejemplares analizando la microestructura de los otolitos. Las tallas de los peces oscilaron entre 14,7 y 57 cm de longitud furcal, las edades estimadas variaron entre 45 y 192 días. Los modelos de crecimiento anual explicaron más del 90% de la variabilidad del crecimiento. Las diferencias observadas en las tasas de crecimiento entre 2013 (3,2 mm d–1) y 2016 (2,7 mm d–1) no fueron significativas, mientras que la tasa de crecimiento diaria fue significativamente más rápida en la región oriental (4,01 mm d–1) que en las regiones occidental (2,52 mm d–1) y central (2,75 mm d–1). Los periodos de eclosión de las larvas coincidieron con los periodos de desove conocidos, pero en las regiones central y oriental duraron más de lo que se había informado anteriormente. En la región central el periodo de eclosión mostró dos picos, a mediados de junio y a mediados de julio, lo que coincide con estudios anteriores que se-ñalan dos pulsos de desove distintos. Estos pulsos podrían deberse a la existencia de diferentes contingentes de BFT, los residentes del Mediterráneo y los migrantes del Atlántico, que desovarían en momentos diferentes, pero para apoyar esta hipótesis es necesario investigar más
