Abstract
Coney (Cephalopholis fulva) otoliths were collected from 1997 to 1999 off the central coast of Brazil. Analysis of the edges of otoliths sections suggests that one translucent and one opaque zone are formed once a year. Coney age and size-ranges were 2–25 years and 172–428 mm total length (TL) respectively. The von Bertalanffy growth equation was TLt=316(1−e−0.138(t+5.301)). The maximum age observed in this study is well above that previously reported for coney.
