Small water bodies for sustainable fisheries production
Type: Journal Article
A brief account is given of some of the discussions presented at a workshop regarding reservoir fisheries in Asia held in Hangzhou, China in Oct 1990. The presentations covered the range of reservoir fisheries management ...
Example estimations of yield and fishery profit when few data are available
Type: Journal Article
Very preliminary bioeconomic assessments are reported in respect to fishery situation in Kenya. In the case of the shrimp fishery, it is concluded that the contemporary trawler fleet is substantially in excess of that ...
An assessment of the status of the Ivorian purse seine fishery of Sierra Leone, 1970-78
Type: Journal Article
A time series of catch and effort data (1970-78) of the Ivorian purse seine fishery in Sierra Leone waters was analyzed using the Schaefer production model. The regression of C/f on effort was significant and the resulting ...
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) ...
On China's lake fisheries development
Type: Journal Article
An account is given of the current situation regarding the lake fisheries and fish culture practices in China. The modern lake fisheries take advantage of the 3-D spaces of lakes to fully develop the resources. Currently, ...
A note on the development of a new software package, the FAO-ICLARM stock assessment tools (FiSAT)
Type: Journal Article
A brief narrative is given of the background of a new FAO-ICLARM software for (mainly length-based) fish stock assessment, the FAO-ICLARM Stock Assessment Tools or "FiSAT" package, integrating the ICLARM's Compleat ELEFAN, ...
Population dynamics of Saurida elongata and S. undosquamis (Synodontidae) in the southern Gulf of Thailand
Type: Journal Article
Length-frequency data on Saurida elongata and S. undosquamis (Synodontidae) from bottom trawl survey conducted in 1984 in the Southern Gulf of Thailand were analyzed using the Compleat ELEFAN software. The seasonal pattern ...
Photographic image analysis for morphometric studies of tilapia
Type: Journal Article
Biologists have long employed morphometry as a tool in identification, grouping of populations and stock identification of fish. For tilapias, studies have been made on the variability of morphomeric characters in Egyptian ...
Spawning stock biomass-per-recruit analysis: a timely substitute for stock recruitment analysis
Type: Journal Article
Relative biomass per recruit of adult (i.e. sexually mature) fin to shellfish is shown to help in identifying levels of fishing mortality likely to lead to recruitment overfishing. This is illustrated with data from a ...
Correction to the Beverton and Holt Z-estimator for truncated catch length-frequency distributions
Type: Journal Article
A method for estimating the instantaneous mortality rate (Z) is presented which was developed from a truncated equation for average length. The model has zero bias at equilibrium, but has no explicit solution for Z so that ...
