Rice-fish-vegetable integrated farming: towards a sustainable ecosystem
Type: Journal Article
An outline is given of procedures to take in order to adopt an integrated rice-fish-vegetable farming system in India. Vegetables, which are cultivated in the dikes of the system, may include Luffa acutangula, Vigna ...
Marine fisheries, genetic effects and biodiversity
Type: Journal Article
Preservation of marine biodiversity deserves serious consideration as almost 65% of the earth's organisms (excluding insects) are marine. There is little knowledge at present on the status of marine biodiversity. However, ...
A guide to ECOPATH II software system (version 2.0)
Type: Manual
This 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 ...
Measuring ecological stress: variations on a theme by R.M. Warwick
Type: Journal Article
Two new indices are presented which reflect quantitatively the changes to be expected in an ecological community under stress, as previously described by R. M. Warwick. The indices summarize information which he presented ...
A trophic ecosystem model of Lake George, Uganda
Type: Book Chapter
A trophic model of Lake George, Uganda, Central Africa was constructed using published quantitative and qualitative information on the various biotic components of the lake and the ECOPATH II approach and software. It is ...

Coral reefs and biodiversity: a critical and threatened relationship
Type: Journal Article
The ability of coral reef ecosystems to exist in balanced harmony with other naturally occurring competing/limiting physicochemical and biological agents has been severely challenged in the last several decades by the ...
Stratified models of large marine ecosystems: a general approach and an application the South China Sea
Type: Book Chapter
This contribution provides an approach for constructing models of large marine ecosystems (LMEs). This contribution results from an attempt to follow up on some of the implications of the LME concept for ecological modeling, ...
