Abstract
The abundance and size composition of juvenile snapper Chrysophrys unicolor trawled from Cockburn Sound, W.A., over a 20 month period is presented. 0+ year old snapper were first taken by the gear in April/May at a mean size of between 8 and 9 cm L.C.F. They continued to be caught until the following January/February when they were 1+ years old, and a mean size of between 14 and 15 cm L.C.F., after which they disappeared from the catch. The peak months of abundance were April/May. This is the first description of growth of juvenile snapper from Western Australia.
