Application to shrimp stocks of objective meathods for the estimation of growth, mortality and recruitment-related parameters from length-frequency data (ELEFAN I and II)
Type: Book Chapter
This paper presents applications to several shrimp stocks of a new, computer-based set of methods for the detailed analysis of length-frequency data. These applications include the objective estimation of growth parameters, ...
The relationships between gill surface area and growth performance in fish: a generalization of von Bertalanffy's theory of growth
Type: Journal Article
This paper is an attempt to interpret some of the data on fish growth available in the literature, emphasis is being given to a reassessment of von Bertalanffy's theory of growth as applied to fishes.
Growth performance in fishes: rigorous description of patterns as a basis for understanding causal mechanisms
Type: Journal Article
The origins and features of the growth performance index Phi ' are reviewed, emphasizing its ability to express the underlying common characteristics of a family of growth curves. Some other aspects of Phi ' are discussed, ...
The fishes and their ecology
Type: Report
An annotated list of 188 species of fishes recorded from San Miguel Bay, Philippines is presented. Of these, 48% are euryhaline marine species. The most abundant fishes belong to marine species whose representatives are ...
On the seasonal growth, monthly recruitment and monthly biomass of Peruvian anchoveta (Engraulis ringens) from 1961 to 1979
Type: Book Chapter
The paper reports on the application to the anchoveta of a newly developed set of methods for the investigaton of exploited fish stocks. the set of methods are incorporated in the ELEFAN (Electronic Length Frequency Analysis) ...
Quantitative analysis of published data on the growth, metabolism, food consumption, and related features of the red-bellied piranha, Serrasalmus nattereri (Characidae)
Type: Journal Article
A tentative set of growth parameters of the von Bertalanffy growth equation were estimated for the red-bellied piranha, Serrasalmus nattereri, a common characid of the Amazonas and adjacent floodplains, based on length-frequency ...
Tabular data on marine fishes from Southern Africa. Part II: growth parameters
Type: Journal Article
This contribution presents von Bertalanffy growth parameter estimates for 28 species of marine fishes derived from growth curves in R. van der Elst's "Guide to the Common Sea Fishes of Southern Africa".
Studying single-species dynamics in a tropical multispecies context
Type: Book Chapter
Some methods available for the study of the population dynamics of tropical fish are reviewed; emphasis is given to questions of growth, mortality and recruitment, and to relatively new approaches, such as aging by means ...
Length-converted catch curves: a powerful tool for fisheries research in the Tropics (part 1)
Type: Journal Article
A number of methods are available with the help of which total mortality (Z) can be estimated from length-frequency data. Thus it is possible to obtain reasonable estimates of Z from the mean length in a representative ...
Growth, mortality and recruitment of commercially important fishes and penaeid shrimps in Indonesian waters
Type: Report
Estimates of von Bertalanffy growth parameters were derived through application of the ELEFAN I program to lengthfrequency data from 52 stocks and 36 species of commercially important bony fishes from Indonesian waters, ...
