(1988)Type: ManualThis draft guide introduces the 10-diskette , graphics-oriented Compleat ELEFAN software package (version 1.0, February 1989) for length-based fish stock assessment, implemented for IBM=) PC and compatible microcomputers ... -
A draft guide to the ECOPATH II program (ver. 1.0)
(1990)Type: ManualThis guide documents the use and background of a program written for MSDOS Computers, in QUICKBASIC 4.5, for straightforward construction and parametrization of steady-state trophic models of aquatic ecosystems. The ECOPATH ... -
A guide to ECOPATH II software system (version 2.0)
(1991)Type: ManualThis guide documents the use and background of the ECOPATH II software system written for MS DOS computers for straightforward construction and parametrization of steady-state trophic models of aquatic ecosystems. ECOPATH ... -
A guide to the ECOPATH II software system (version 2.1)
(1992)Type: ManualThe software described in the present guide is designed to help user construct a simple model of an aquatic ecosystem. -
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 Low-level Geographic Information System for coastal zone management, with applications to Brunei Darussalam: Part I: The concept and its design elements
(1997)Type: Journal ArticleThis contribution is the first part of a four-part series documenting the development of B:RUN, a software program which reads data for common spreadsheets and presents them as low-resolution maps of slates and processes. ... -
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 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 ... -
A new approach for analyzing and comparing coastal resource systems
(1992)Type: Journal ArticleICLARM has recently developed a strategic Plan for International research on living aquatic resources management which identifies tropical coastal resource systems as one of its areas of research emphasis. Details are given ... -
A note on the development of a new software package, the FAO-ICLARM stock assessment tools (FiSAT)
(1991)Type: Journal ArticleA brief narrative is given of the background of a new FAO-ICLARM software for (mainly length-based) fish stock assessment, the FAO-ICLARM Stock Assessment Tools or "FiSAT" package, integrating the ICLARM's Compleat ELEFAN, ... -
A regional database management system: the fisheries resource information system and tools (FiRST): Its design, utility and future directions.
(2006)Type: Journal ArticleThis article describes the refined version of FiRST (version 2004) and provides examples on how the database (‘TrawlBase’) has been used to date for analyses aimed at establishing historic resource baselines and examining ... -
A review of the ELEFAN system for analysis of length-frequency data in fish and aquatic invertebrates
(1987)Type: Book ChapterSome aspects of the history and present role of length-based methods for the study of the growth, mortality and recruitment of fish invertebrate stocks are reviewd. The recently-developed ELEFAN (Electronic Length Frequency ... -
A selection of simple methods for the assessment of tropical fish stocks
(1980)Type: ReportThis selection of methods is based on lecture notes used at a FAO/DANIDA training course held in Mombasa, Kenya, in May-June 1980. The methods presented are: regression and correlation, estimation of growth parameters from ... -
A simple index of metabolic level in fishes
(1989)Type: Journal ArticleDetails are given of the use of an aspect ratio of the caudal fin of fish as an index of metabolic level. Studies have shown that this ratio, besides correlating with food consumption, also has close relationships with ... -
A simple method for estimating the food consumption of fish populations from growth data and food conversion experiments
(1986)Type: Journal ArticleA multiple-regression extension of the basic model is presented which accounts for the impact of factors other than body weight on values of K1 and p. This method is illustrated with an analysis of data on dab (Limanda limianda). -
A theory of fishing for a two-dimensional world
(1989)Type: Journal ArticleThe concept of a disc-shaped two dimensional imaginary planet called Arde is conceived in which there is up and down, forward and backward but no left and right; and the first elements of a theory of fishing in a two ...
