Growth rates of three commercial species of Lutjanidae were estimated from sections of vertebrae cross-checked with scales. The von Bertalanffy growth constants for Lutjanus malabaricus were K=0.168, L∞=70.7 cm standard length (S.L.). For Pristipomoides multidens these were K= 0.219, L∞= 59.1cm, and for Pristipomoides typus K=0.254, L∞= 51.5 cm. Length/weight was analysed in the form W= aLb where W was fresh weight (g) and L= S.L. (cm). The constants were: L. malabaricus, a= 0.041, b= 2.842; P. multidens, a=0.032, b= 2.897; P. typus, a= 0.038, b= 2.822. The growth rates were considered low in comparison with demersal fish counterparts from temperate seas.
