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 ...
A review of gender inequality and women’s empowerment in aquaculture using the reach-benefit-empower-transform framework approach: A case study of Nigeria
Type: Journal Article
Along the aquaculture value chain, what is the status of gender equality and women’s empowerment with a particular emphasis on aquaculture? What can be done to bring about gender equality and women’s empowerment in the ...
Fish diet supplemented with Yemeni Zeolite improves growth performance and reduces lead toxicity in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
The applications of natural products in aquaculture to improve fish production and modulate toxic undesired effects of heavy metals represent a global environmental demand. In this study, fish diets supplemented with natural ...
Growth, mortality and yield-per-recruit of the poor cod, Trisopterus minutus capelanus, from the Strait of Sicily
Type: Journal Article
Length-based methods (LBMs) were used to study the growth of Trisopterus minutus capelanus in the Strait of Sicily (Messina Strait). A total of 16,304 'merluzzetto' or poor cod collected by experimental trawling off the ...
Length-weight relationships of commercially important marine fishes and shellfishes of the southern coast of Karnataka, India
Type: Journal Article
The parameters of the length-weight relationship of the form W = aLb are presented for 51 species of commercially important marine fishes and shellfishes caught along the southern coast of Karnataka, India. Samples from ...
A reassessment of equations for predicting natural mortality in Mediterranean telosts
Type: Journal Article
This brief article presents new empirical models for prediction of natural mortality (M) from growth parameters (L and K, W and K) in Mediterranean teleosts, based on 56 data sets presented in an earlier paper in the January ...
Locally-procured Fish is Essential in School Feeding Programmes in Sub-Saharan Africa
Type: Journal Article
Fish make an important contribution to micronutrient intake, long-chained polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids (n-3 LC-PUFAS), and animal protein, as well as ensuring food and nutrition security and livelihoods for fishing ...

The Paradise threadfin, Polynemus paradiseus is a marine fresh and brackish water fish species of the family Perciformes. This fish is found in Bangladesh, India, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, Pakistan and Cambodia. Only ...
Length-weight relationship of fishes from coral reefs and lagoons of New Caledonia: an update
Type: Journal Article
Length-weight relationships of 316 reef and lagoon fish from New Caledonia (SW Pacific Ocean) belonging to 68 families are computed. A total of 43,750 individuals was used for this purpose. Fish were sampled by different ...
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.
