Von Bertalanffy growth curves for female Atlantic tarpon (Megalops atlanticus ) with radiometric age 
( yr ) and fork length (mm; average fork length for age groups) and with annulus-derived age (yr) and 
fork length. Vertical bars represent fork length range for age-groups. Horizontal bars represent low 
and high radiometric age estimates.
