Length at first maturity (Lm) of Torquigener hypselogeneion collected from Fethiye in 2020 and 2021, with the data points fitted logistic curves whose 95% confidence intervals (dotted lines) are also shown, along with the lengths at which the probability of being mature is 0.5. A: Female, with Lm = 9.8 cm. B: Males, with Lm = 10.0 cm. The difference between these two estimates of mean length at first maturity is not significant and Lm ≈ 10.0 cm (TL) for both sexes.
