Small fishes as a resource in rural Bangladesh
Type: Journal Article
The role of small fishes in the diet of the rural poor in Bangladesh is described. Basic statistics (maximum size reached, length-weight relationships and prices) are presented for 42 species, belonging to 10 families and ...
A program for constructing length-converted growth curves when growth is seasonal
Type: Journal Article
Following Sparre's (1990) demonstration that length-converted catch curves overestimate total mortality when growth is seasonal, Pauly (1990) presented a method for constructing length-converted growth curves that allow ...
Growth, mortality and length-weight parameters for some Kuwaiti fish and shrimp
Type: Journal Article
As a (small) contribution toward reestablishing communication between Kuwait-based fishing research and other research conducted elsewhere in the tropics, the growth parameter estimates and the "a" and "b" values ...
Time recovery for exploited fish populations based on surplus yield models
Type: Journal Article
A new method to estimate the time recovery of exploited population based on M.B. Schaefer's theory is proposed. The parameters used as follows: current population size (alphaP sub( infinity )'), target population level ...
Growth, mortality and recruitment of Decapterus kurroides in Davao Gulf, Philippines
Type: Journal Article
The ringnet fishery off Davao, southern Philippines, is briefly described. The major species (36%) in the catch is Decapterus kurroides (Pisces, Carangidae), whose growth parameters and mortality rates (natural and fishing) ...
Concurrent rice-fish trials: comparing regular and border planting patterns
Type: Journal Article
Details are given of experiments conducted at the Freshwater Aquaculture Centre at Munoz, Philippines, to investigate the effects of varying the rice planting pattern on fish yields in integrated rice field aquaculture ...
Approaches to national fish breeding programs: pointers from a tilapia pilot study
Type: Journal Article
Details are given of a framework for developing breeding programmes using experience from the Genetic Improvement of Farmed Tilapias project which focussed on Nile tilapias (Oreochromis niloticus ). The following aspects ...
Estimation of yield per recruit when growth and fishing mortality oscillate seasonally
Type: Journal Article
A general form of the yield equation is presented. This is used to investigate the effects of seasonal growth oscillations on estimation of yield per recruit. The results show that these effects will be strongest in ...
Growth performance in fishes: rigorous description of patterns as a basis for understanding causal mechanisms
Type: Journal Article
The origins and features of the growth performance index Phi ' are reviewed, emphasizing its ability to express the underlying common characteristics of a family of growth curves. Some other aspects of Phi ' are discussed, ...
Growth of Pomadasys kaakan (Haemulidae) off the coast of Pakistan
Type: Journal Article
The growth parameters of javelin grunter Pomadasys kaakan (=P. hasta, Haemulidae) were estimated from length-frequency samples collected from December 1988 to February 1989 along the Pakistan coast. They are L sub( infinity ...
