On traditional knowledge, fish and databases: a call for contributions
Type: Journal Article
Atlas demographique des populations de poissons d'eau douce d'Afrique
Type: Report
Growth and catch curves plus recruitment and selection patterns of 57 stocks and 47 species of African freshwater fishes are presented. The atlas also includes mortality estimates, information on food and feeding habits, ...
European Union supports project to strengthen fisheries and biodiversity management in African, Caribbean, and Pacific (ACP) countries
Type: Journal Article
Proper resource management implies a better understanding of ecosystems and the conservation of biodiversity. Scientists from developing countries often have limited information on their aquatic resources because of many ...
Length-weight relationships of fishes from tributaries of the Volta River, Ghana: Part II and Conclusion
Type: Journal Article
Slopes and intercepts of length-weight relationships obtained from 37 populations from the rivers Oti, Pru and Black Volta in Ghana were compared using a one way analysis of covariance with fixed effects. Although no ...
MAXIMS: a computer program for estimating the food consumption of fishes from diel stomach contents data and population parameters
Type: Manual
Developed for IBM PC (and its compatibles), the software estimates the size-specific daily food consumption of fishes from a 24-hour cycle of stomach contents data for either one or two feeding periods per day, as well ...
Length-weight relationships of fishes from tributaries of the Volta River, Ghana Part 1: Analysis of pooled data sets
Type: Journal Article
The parameters a and b of length-weight relationships of the form W = a L super(b) were estimated for 45 fish species sampled in the Oti, Pru and Black Volta rivers, Ghana. Also, the slope and intercepts of regressional ...
Predicting food consumption of fish populations as functions of mortality, food type, morphometrics, temperature and salinity
Type: Journal Article
A large data set of relative food-consumption estimates (Q/B) of marine and freshwater fish populations (n = 108 populations, 38 species) is documented and used to derive a predictive model for Q/B, using asymptotic weight, ...
An ECOPATH II model of the Lake Chad system
Type: Book Chapter
The trophic ecosystem modelling software, ECOPATH II, was used to analyze the Lake Chad system, Africa, during its "normal" phase, the period between 1969 and 1972. Reasonable estimates of population-related parameters for ...
Diet composition and daily ration estimates of selected trawl-caught fishes in San Miguel Bay, Philippines
Type: Journal Article
The diet composition of fish caught in San Miguel Bay, Philippines, in April and May 1993 was studied. The diets of tiger-tooth croaker (Otolithes ruber), commerson's anchovy (Stolephorus commersonii); and the Indian anchovy ...
