The growth and reproductive/ brooding pattern of Megabalanus tintinnabulum were studied from January 2012 to December 2013 on two rocky shores, Buleji and Manora, Karachi, the northern Arabian Sea. Population parameters were estimated using the von Bertalanffy growth function (VBGF) and ELEFAN 1 with the aid of FiSAT software. The population of M. tintinnabulum showed variability in density, size and growth rates between two rocky shores. The average density of M. tintinnabulum was higher at Buleji (101.9 ± 15.02 individual m−2) than Manora (76.0 ± 8.05 individual m−2). Though the estimated asymptomatic length (L∞" role="presentation">
