Simple identification tools in Fishbase
Type: Conference Paper
Simple identification tools for fish species were included in the FishBase information system from its inception. Early tools made use of the relational model and characters like fin ray meristics. Soon pictures and drawings ...
Out of new stocks in 2020: a comment on "Not all fisheries will be collapsed in 2048"
Type: Journal Article
The authors provide counter arguement to the article "Not all fisheries will be collapsed in 2048". Their analysis confirms the continuous absolute and relative increase in collapsed stocks shown first by Froese and ...
Seaweeds preferred by herbivorous fishes
Type: Journal Article
Marine macrobenthic algae (or seaweeds), epiphytic microalgae, and other aquatic plants constitute the main food items of marine herbivorous fishes. About 5% of all fish species are herbivorous; only 30% of these are marine, ...
An annotated checklist of elasmobranchs of the South China Sea, with some global statistics on elasmobranch biodiversity, and an offer to taxonomists
Type: Book Chapter
An annotated checklist of the sharks and rays of the South China Sea is described, together with some global statistics on the status and use of elasmobranchs. For each of the 156 recorded species, the checklist contains ...

No relationship between fecundity and annual reproductive rate in bony fish
Type: Journal Article
There is still a widespread notion that bony fishes with high fecundities are more productive and therefore more resistant to overexploitation. The purpose of this study was to formally explore the relationship between ...
Empirical relationships to estimate asymptotic length, length at first maturity and length at maximum yield per recruit in fishes, with a simple method to evaluate length frequency data
Type: Journal Article
Empirical relationships are presented to estimate in fishes, asymptotic length from maximum observed length (L<sub>max</sub>), length at first maturity (L<sub>m</sub>) from L, life span (tmax) from age at first maturity ...
Growth, natural mortality, length-weight relationship, maximum length and length-at-first-maturity of the coelacanth Latimeria chalumnae
Type: Journal Article
This study revisit the information published on life-history parameters of Latimeria chalumnae, re-analyses growth and length-weight relationships, and provides new estimates for maximum length, length and age-at-first ...
