According to the Pholis fangi otoliths collected from bottom-trawl surveys in Haizhou Bay during from 2015 to 2019, linear mixed-effects model (LMEM) was used to study the interannual variation of growth rate of P. fangi from 2013 to 2018 and assess the response of the growth of P. fangi at different ages to external environmental factors such as bottom temperature, chlorophyll content and population density. The results showed that the otolith increment of P. fangi differed significantly between ages, with the mean otolith increment of 0.327 mm at 0 year old, significantly higher than that at another ages. The random-effects showed that the growth rate of P. fangi showed an increasing trend from 2013 to 2015, with a fluctuating trend from 2016 to 2018. The main factors affecting the growth of P. fangi at 0 year old were bottom temperature and population density. The growth rate increased and then decreased with the increase of bottom temperature, and decreased with the increase of population density. The effect of environmental factors on the growth rate of P. fangi at 1 year old were not significant, reflecting the ability of adults to adapt to the environment. This study provided insight into the growth dynamics of fish in response to biotic and abiotic factors, which will help to cope with the impact of climate change on fishery ecosystems.
