Predicting self-recruitment in marine populations: biophysical correlates and mechanisms
Type: Journal Article
Mounting evidence suggests that some populations of benthic marine organisms may be less demographically ‘open’ than previously thought. The degree to which a population receives recruits from local sources versus other ...
Length-converted catch curves: a powerful tool for fisheries research in the Tropics (part 2)
Type: Journal Article
A method is described for the determination of the selection curve of fishing gear from the shape of the ascending arm of a length-converted catch curve and growth parameters.
Inclusion of small indigenous fish improves nutritional quality during the first 1000 days
Type: Journal Article
Key contributing factors to undernutrition in low-income countries, including Bangladesh, are low dietary diversity in the diets of women and low nutrient density of traditional complementary foods (CFs) for infants and ...
Fish and the nutrition of rural Cambodians
Type: Journal Article
In Cambodia, fish is a central source of food for the rural poor due to its abundance and availability, and contributes greatly to national food security. In this paper, we review how fish is a staple food, provides quality ...
A program for constructing length-converted growth curves when growth is seasonal
Type: Journal Article
Following Sparre's (1990) demonstration that length-converted catch curves overestimate total mortality when growth is seasonal, Pauly (1990) presented a method for constructing length-converted growth curves that allow ...
Time recovery for exploited fish populations based on surplus yield models
Type: Journal Article
A new method to estimate the time recovery of exploited population based on M.B. Schaefer's theory is proposed. The parameters used as follows: current population size (alphaP sub( infinity )'), target population level ...
Impact of tannery effluents on the aquatic environment of the Buriganga River in Dhaka, Bangladesh
Type: Journal Article
This study presents an overview of the existence and effects of six heavy metals, chromium (Cr), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), manganese (Mn), and aluminum (Al), in tannery effluents released to the Buriganga River ...
Concurrent rice-fish trials: comparing regular and border planting patterns
Type: Journal Article
Details are given of experiments conducted at the Freshwater Aquaculture Centre at Munoz, Philippines, to investigate the effects of varying the rice planting pattern on fish yields in integrated rice field aquaculture ...
Demand for fish in Sub-Saharan Africa: the past and the future
Type: Journal Article
The Sub-Saharan region of Africa accounted for only 5.5% of the world's demand for fish from 1989 to 1991, inspite of comprising 9% of the global population. This study was carried out to determine the future demand for ...
Changes in consumer tastes in the demand for fish and meat in Malaysia
Type: Journal Article
In this article the demand for fish and its substitute was estimated using a very flexible demand function, the Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) developed by Deaton and Muelllbaeur (1980), incorporating the habit formation ...
