Type: Manual
This draft guide introduces the 10-diskette , graphics-oriented Compleat ELEFAN software package (version 1.0, February 1989) for length-based fish stock assessment, implemented for IBM=) PC and compatible microcomputers ...
An objective method for determining fish growth from length-frequency data
Type: Journal Article
A computing procedure was devised, to determine fish growth, that traces through a series of length frequencysamples sequentially arranged in time, a multitude of growth curves, and then selects the single curve which best ...
On improving operation and use of the elefan programs. part 1, avoiding "drift" of K towards low values
Type: Journal Article
The article proposes improvements for the ELEFAN programs describing how they may be used for optimum output, considering the von Bertalanffy growth equation and the K parameter.
A method for estimating the parameters of a seasonally oscillating growth curve from growth increment data
Type: Journal Article
A linearized version of the Appeldoorn model of the von Bertalanffy growth function is presented for the estimationof parameters of seasonal growth oscillation.
Kuwait's finfish catch three times more shrimp than its trawlers
Type: Journal Article
Assessments made of shrimp catches in Kuwait and available stocks indicate that finfish eat a large majority of theshrimp available. Management measures to be taken in order to reduce this predation problem are considered.

In March 1977, shortly after ICLARM commenced in Manila, its Program Advisory Committee formulated the guiding principles for the Resource Development and Management Program, which is one of the four program areas of ICLARM ...
A review of the ELEFAN system for analysis of length-frequency data in fish and aquatic invertebrates
Type: Book Chapter
Some aspects of the history and present role of length-based methods for the study of the growth, mortality and recruitment of fish invertebrate stocks are reviewd. The recently-developed ELEFAN (Electronic Length Frequency ...
Population dynamics of shortlived species with emphasis on squids
Type: Book Chapter
The features of short-lived fishes and invertebrates relevant to their population dynamics and exploitation are reviewed, with emphasis on methodological approaches, which could lead to improved management of squid stocks. ...
On the interrelationships between naturual mortality, growth parameters, and mean environmental temperature in 175 fish stocks
Type: Journal Article
A compilation of values for the exponential coefficient of natural mortality (M) is given for 175 different stocks of fish distributed in 84 species, both freshwater and marine, and ranging from polar to tropical waters.
