Abstract
Gross morphometric parameters in the Mediterranean gorgonian Paramuric ea clavata have been considered with an aim to describe their intraspe cific relationships. Bertalanffian growth curves have been calculated, as well as regression equations between parameters. Basal diameter pr oved to be the best parameter for describing growth of the species.
