FishBase 2000: Concepts, designs and data sources
Type: Manual
FishBase 2000 is the fifth release of ICLARM's comprehensive CD-ROM database on finfish. Contains over 20,000 of the 25,000 known finfish species. It has over 54,000 names; new FAO catch data (1950-1996); aquaculture data ...
Alien fish species in the Philippines: pathways, biological characteristics, establishment and invasiveness
Type: Journal Article
Aquaculture (18%) and aquarium (77%) species comprise most of the species which are brought into the Philippines, and although meant to be confined to culture and aquarium facilities, some have escaped to natural waters, ...
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 ...
