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 ...
Length-weight relationship of small pelagic fish species of the southeast and South Brazilian Exclusive Economic Zone
Type: Journal Article
The length-weight relationship (LWR) parameters of 23 small pelagic fish species (belonging to 13 families) from the south-southeast Brazilian Exclusive Economic Zone in 1996 and 1997 are presented. The b values varied ...
Diet composition and food habits of demersal and pelagic marine fishes from Terengganu waters, east coast of Peninsular Malaysia
Type: Journal Article
Fish stomachs from 18 demersal and pelagic fishes from the coast of Terengganu in Malaysia were examined. The components of the fishes’ diets varied in number, weight, and their frequency of occurrence. The major food items ...
Notes on the assessment of the stocks of small pelagic species on the basis of length frequency analysis and converted catch curves
Type: Journal Article
Difficulties are usually encountered when small pelagic species are to be assessed, using simple classical methods such as the surplus production model. Interannual variations of recruitment and fishing patterns and ...

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 ...
Relationships between growth, mortality and maximum observed age of fish in the Gulf of Aden
Type: Journal Article
The findings are presented of an examination of growth and mortality rates of demersal and pelagic fish in the Gulf of Aden. Small pelagic fish with short life span had high mortality coefficient values around 1.0 for a ...
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 ...
