Diet composition and trophic levels of marine mammals
Type: Journal Article
Standardized diet compositions were derived for 97 species of marine mammals from published accounts of stomach contents as well as from morphological, behavioural and other information. Diet was apportioned among eight ...
A program for the identification of the pelagic eggs of Black Sea fishes
Type: Journal Article
A computer program was developed for the identification of the teleost fish eggs that may be found in the pelagic zone of the Black Sea. The program identifies eggs of 70 species, using up to 28 descriptive characters, and ...
Selection properties of the baited hooks used in the Cuban longline fishery of Campeche Bank, Gulf of Mexico
Type: Journal Article
A description of the Cuban set longline fishery on Campeche Bank, Gulf of Mexico is given, with emphasis on the effects of different species of pelagic fishes used as bait. The target species is the red grouper Epinephelus ...
The small-scale pelagic and demersal fisheries off Kribi, Cameroon
Type: Journal Article
A description of the small-scale fisheries of the coastal pelagic and demersal resources off Kribi, Cameroon, is presented. The major fishing grounds are within the estuarine zone, an area of high productivity. Catch ...
A bio-socioeconomic model for the management of the small pelagic fishery in northwest Peninsular Malaysia
Type: Journal Article
The article was extracted from the author's dissertation entitled "Management of small pelagic fisheries on the northwest coast of Peninsular Malaysia: a bio-socioeconomic simulation analysis". The basic structure and uses ...
Bioeconomic analysis of management options for tropical fisheries using a bicriteria programming model
Type: Journal Article
A possible approach to the management of the multispecies multigear fishery in a developing country was explored. The small pelagics fishery in central Philippines was analyzed in three stages. A dynamic pool model represented ...
Economic exploitation in the Philippine small pelagic fishery and implications for the management
Type: Journal Article
Causes and impact of the Philippine small pelagic fishery sector problems are presented together with the proposed solutions from fisheries and external sectors. The results of the biological and economic analysis of the ...
Bioeconomics of the Philippine small pelagics fishery
Type: Report
Time series analysis of catch and effort data in the Philippines small pelagics fishery resulted in a level of biological and economic overexploitation. Open-access equilibrium has been reached at 410,000 hp representing ...
Food consumption/biomass ratios of the pelagic fish community of Lake Malawi/Niassa
Type: Journal Article
An empirical model relating food requirements to morphometric indices of metabolic rate was used to calculate consumption/biomass ratios (Q/B) for 16 species of fish that make the pelagic fish community in Lake Malawi/Niassa. ...
An application of production theory to fishing effort standardization in the small-pelagics fishery in the central Philippines
Type: Journal Article
Standard fishing effort functions were estimated for vessels using small pelagic gear in Guimaras Strait, Philippines via the production function approach. The sample included both the artisanal and commercial sectors of ...
