    Los rubios son una captura incidental valiosa de las pesquerías demersales mixtas y comercialmente importantes en las aguas europeas, pero a menudo se descartan, se informan como “rubios mixtos” y con información biológica incompleta por especie. En el presente trabajo se han recogido un total de 558 ejemplares de ganeo, de entre 10,9 y 44,4 cm (1 a 11 años), y 425 individuos de arete, de entre 10,2 y 42,1 cm (0 a 9 años) procedentes del Atlántico nororiental (costa portuguesa) se utilizaron para estudiar la edad y el crecimiento. Los parámetros de crecimiento de von Bertalanffy para ganeo se estimaron mediante la combinación de lecturas de otolitos enteros y retrocálculo (L∞=44,7 cm, k=0,16 año–1 y t0=-2,781 años). Para el arete se estimaron los mismos parámetros de crecimiento usando lecturas de otolito entero (L∞=40.2 cm, k=0.28 año–1 y t0=–1.074 año). Los resultados indican que el arete alcanza una talla menor, aunque crece más rápido que el ganeo. Se estimó la mortalidad natural, instantánea y por pesca, así como la tasa de explotación para ambas especies. Para la costa portuguesa, el arete presentó una mortalidad por pesca y una tasa de explotación más altas que el ganeo, lo que generó preocupaciones sobre su gestión sostenible.

    Gurnards are a valuable by-catch of mixed demersal fisheries and are commercially important in European waters, but they are often discarded, reported under “mixed gurnards” and with incomplete biological information by species. In the present work, a total of 558 piper gurnard specimens of between 10.9 and 44.4 cm (1 to 11 years) and 425 red gurnard specimens of between 10.2 and 42.1 cm (0 to 9 years) from the northeast Atlantic (Portuguese) coast were used to study age and growth. The von Bertalanffy growth parameters for piper gurnard were estimated through the combination of whole-otolith readings and back-calculation (L∞=44.7 cm, k=0.16 yr–1 and t0=–2.781 yr). For red gurnard the same growth parameters were estimated using whole-otolith readings (L∞=40.2 cm, k=0.28 yr–1 and t0=–1.074 yr). The results indicate that the red gurnard reaches a smaller length, although it grows faster than the piper gurnard. Natural, instantaneous and fishing mortalities were estimated as well as the exploitation rate for both species. For the Portuguese coast, the red gurnard showed a higher fishing mortality and exploitation rate than the piper gurnard, raising concerns about its sustainable management.
