New functions for the analysis of two-phrase growth of juvenile and adult fishes, with application to Nile perch
Type: Journal Article
Two phases of growth can sometimes be distinguished in long-lived fish species. The first involves the growth of zooplankton-feeding juveniles and young adults. The second consists of accelerated growth of large, piscivorous ...
Stratified models of large marine ecosystems: a general approach and an application the South China Sea
Type: Book Chapter
This contribution provides an approach for constructing models of large marine ecosystems (LMEs). This contribution results from an attempt to follow up on some of the implications of the LME concept for ecological modeling, ...
