Abstract
The variability in the length and age at which 50% of individuals were mature was investigated for argentine (Argentina silus) in the Northwest Atlantic. Median length at maturity generally declined with time, the trend more pronounced in females than in males. Males and females matured at similar lengths, but males tended to mature at older ages. From 1965–1969, median length at maturity for males ranged from 35.4 cm in NAFO Subdiv. 4Vs to 26.4 cm in Div. 4W, while that for females ranged from 28.0 cm in Subdiv. 4Vs to 24.9 in Subdiv. 5Ze. From 1965–1969, median age at maturity was about 5.3 yr for males and 4.6 yr for females.
