M. Mistri, GROSS MORPHOMETRIC RELATIONSHIPS AND GROWTH IN THE MEDITERRANEAN GORGONIAN PARAMURICEA-CLAVATA, Bollettino di zoologia, 62(1), 1995, pp. 5-8
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.
