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, ...
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 ...
