Seaweeds preferred by herbivorous fishes
Type: Journal Article
Marine macrobenthic algae (or seaweeds), epiphytic microalgae, and other aquatic plants constitute the main food items of marine herbivorous fishes. About 5% of all fish species are herbivorous; only 30% of these are marine, ...
No relationship between fecundity and annual reproductive rate in bony fish
Type: Journal Article
There is still a widespread notion that bony fishes with high fecundities are more productive and therefore more resistant to overexploitation. The purpose of this study was to formally explore the relationship between ...
An algorithm for identifying misspellings and synonyms in lists of scientific names of fishes
Type: Journal Article
A computerized algorithm is presented for the examination of lists of scientific names, assigning current names to known synonyms and misspellings, and suggesting the most probable correct name for new combinations and new ...
Empirical relationships to estimate asymptotic length, length at first maturity and length at maximum yield per recruit in fishes, with a simple method to evaluate length frequency data
Type: Journal Article
Empirical relationships are presented to estimate in fishes, asymptotic length from maximum observed length (L<sub>max</sub>), length at first maturity (L<sub>m</sub>) from L, life span (tmax) from age at first maturity ...
The good, the bad, and the ugly: a critical look at species and their institutions from a user's perspective
Type: Journal Article
Over the past eight years my colleagues and I have been involved in a major project to make key information on fishes available to users, especially in developing countries. There are about 25 000 species of fishes in the ...
Growth, natural mortality, length-weight relationship, maximum length and length-at-first-maturity of the coelacanth Latimeria chalumnae
Type: Journal Article
This study revisit the information published on life-history parameters of Latimeria chalumnae, re-analyses growth and length-weight relationships, and provides new estimates for maximum length, length and age-at-first ...
