  207. adults) and in aquaria (juveniles) on Heron Reef, Queensland. A growth curve O, = 4.2 7l to the power of 2.03 e to the power of -u,  where y&#13;
  208. is the growth rate, l is the shell length, and u = 0.27l to the power of 0.88) fitted to these data indicated a sigmoidal&#13;
  209. age-length relationship. It is estimated that H. asinina may grow from 2 mm to 35.6 mm in shell length&#13;
  210. in six months and 55.0 mm in one year. These growth estimates are consistent with temporal shifts in&#13;
  211. the size-frequency distributions of juveniles in the field. Peak growth rates, estimated at over 120 mm&#13;
  212. in young abalone (approximately 3-4 months of age), are the highest recorded for any abalone&#13;
  213. species.</p></div><table style="margin-bottom: 1em" border="0" cellpadding="3" class="not_ep_block"><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Item Type:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Article</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Subjects:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/subjects/270702.html">270000 Biological Sciences &gt; 270700 Ecology and Evolution &gt; 270702 Marine and Estuarine Ecology (incl.
