Description:In the southeastern USA and the Gulf of Mexico (GOM), Atlantic Tripletail Lobotes surinamensis are increas- ingly targeted by recreational anglers, indicating that stock status should be assessed. A critical need for such assess- ments is age-speci fic data; however, previous studies have drawn con flicting conclusions regarding the most appropriate structure for aging. Moreover, growth parameters and mortality rates for GOM Atlantic Tripletail areunknown. Therefore, the goals of this study were to (1) evaluate sagittal otoliths and first dorsal spines as aging struc- tures; (2) model combined and sex-speci fic growth; and (3) estimate mortality rates for GOM Atlantic Tripletail. From 2012 to 2019, Atlantic Tripletail ( N=230, including a near-record-size specimen) were collected from the
