Type: Report
This report synthesizes the respective research findings of the biology, economics and sociology modules of a multidisciplinary study of the small-scale fisheries of San Miguel Bay, Philippines and examines various options ...
The Third International Symposium on Tilapia in Aquaculture
Type: Conference Proceedings
Tilapias, because of the low cost and relative ease of their production, are a potential food fish staple for many people in tropical countries and a globally traded commodity. This volume of symposium proceedings shows a ...
Length-based methods in fisheries research
Type: Conference Proceedings
This proceedings include the twenty-two papers which were originally presented in in a conference on The Theory and Application of Length-Based Stock Assessment Methods which took place on 11-16 February 1985 at the Istituto ...
ICLARM's Resource Development and Management Program: the Tropical Stock Assessment Research Project
Type: Journal Article
The project was conceived to identify and overcome the major constraints preventing the development of stock assessment techniques appropriate to tropical stocks. These constraints are listed and the project's programme of ...
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 ...

A simple method for estimating the food consumption of fish populations from growth data and food conversion experiments
Type: Journal Article
A multiple-regression extension of the basic model is presented which accounts for the impact of factors other than body weight on values of K1 and p. This method is illustrated with an analysis of data on dab (Limanda limianda).
Multivariate methods in aquaculture research: case studies of tilapias in experimental and commercial systems
Type: Working Paper
This volume documents the usefulness of multivariate methods – notably multiple regression, path analysis and canonical correlation – in the context of aquaculture, which has to date tended to neglect such methods, and ...
Length-converted catch curves: a powerful tool for fisheries research in the Tropics (III: conclusion)
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.
