A Japanese fishing joint venture: worker experience and national development in the Solomon Islands
(1983)Type: ReportDevelopment of marine resources, especially tuna, is the key to national development for many newly-independent states of the South Pacific. They have industrialized fishing through joint ventures-collaborations between ... -
A length-based multi-species model for evaluating community responses to fishing
(2006)Type: Journal ArticleQuantitative ecosystem indicators are needed to fulfill the mandate for ecosystem-based fisheries management. A variety of community metrics could potentially be used, but before reference levels for such indices can be ... -
A longitudinal evaluation of the Communication, Education and Public Awareness (CEPA) campaign for the Philippine crocodile Crocodylus mindorensis in northern Luzon, Philippines
(2016)Type: Book ChapterThe Philippine crocodile Crocodylus mindorensis is Critically Endangered and its range is restricted to a few localities in human-dominated landscapes. Therefore, the survival of this species in the wild depends strongly ... -
A low-level geographic information system for coastal zone management with applications to Brunei Darussalam: Part III:: simulation and tracking oil spills
(1998)Type: Journal ArticleB:RUN is a low-level GIS software designed to help formulate options for the management of the coastal zone of Brunei Darussalam. This contribution presents the oil spill simulation module of B:RUN. This simple module, ... -
A Low-level Geographic Information System for coastal zone management, with application to Brunei Darussalam. Part II:: Economic analysis of trawling in Brunei Darussalam
(1997)Type: Journal ArticleEconomic analysis of the trawl fishery of Brunei Darussalam was conducted using cost and returns analysis and based on an economic survey of trawlers and B:RUN, a low-level geographic information system. Profitability ... -

A mechanism for the juvenile-to-adult transition in fishes
(1984)Type: Journal ArticleThe mechanisms used by physiologists and fishery biologists to explain why fish become mature are shown to be wanting. The hypothesis is presented that diminishing oxygen supply per unit weight serves in growing fish as ... -
A method for estimating the parameters of a seasonally oscillating growth curve from growth increment data
(1989)Type: Journal ArticleA linearized version of the Appeldoorn model of the von Bertalanffy growth function is presented for the estimationof parameters of seasonal growth oscillation. -
A method for the analysis of pond growth experiments
(1983)Type: Journal ArticlePond growth experiments play an essential role in aquaculature research in assessing the growth potential of thevarious species and strains. A method is proposed for the analysis of pond growth experiments which should ... -
A method to estimate the stock recruitment relationship of shrimps
(1982)Type: Journal ArticleA procedure is proposed by which recruit numbers and parental biomass of shrimps stocks can be derived, given a series of catch per effort data and estimates of a few ancillary variables. In the Gulf of Thailand, shrimp ... -
A model to determine benefits obtainable from the management of riverine fisheries of Bangladesh
(1991)Type: ReportAn operational model was derived which can be used to analyze the performance of Bangladesh riverine fisheriesunder different simulated alternatives of technical, economic and biological conditions. Functions and parameters of ... -
A multiple regression model for predicting the food consumption of marine fish populations
(1989)Type: Journal ArticleThe construction of trophic (food web) models of ecosystems, as needed for both theoretical and practical purposes such as fisheries management, requires estimates of food consumption (Q) by each of the various species ... -
