The general von Bertalanffy growth function: possible use in the Beverton and Holt model
Type: Journal Article
Using the concept of generalized Von Bertalanffy growth formula developed by Pauly and Gasch? tz, we tried to integrate the basic equation of Beverton and Holt and to check on changes in the quantitative evaluation of ...
The capture and culture of postlarval coral reef fish: potential for new artisanal fisheries
Type: Journal Article
This article summarises the reasons why the removal of postlarval coral reef fish should be sustainable and identify those conditions that may require restrictions to fishing for postlarvae. The authors also outline why ...
A program for the identification of the pelagic eggs of Black Sea fishes
Type: Journal Article
A computer program was developed for the identification of the teleost fish eggs that may be found in the pelagic zone of the Black Sea. The program identifies eggs of 70 species, using up to 28 descriptive characters, and ...
Growth and mortality of spangled emperor Lethrinus nebulosus in Fiji
Type: Journal Article
The parameter L8 and K of the von Bertalanffy growth equation were estimated from length-frequency data of teh spangled emperor Lethrinus nebulosus (Fam. Lethrinidae) caught in the Central and Western Divisions, Fiji. These ...
Variable number of tandem repeats in the mitochondrial DNA of Dascyllus trimaculatus
Type: Journal Article
The primary structure of the Dascyllus trimaculatus mitochondrial (mt) control region was determined, and conserved features were identified based on sequence comparisons to other teleostean fish species. Three ...
Genetic characterization of the Aphyosemion calliurum species group and description of a new species from this assemblage: A. campomaanense (Cyprinodontiformes: Aplocheiloidei: Nothobranchiidae) from Southern Cameroon
Type: Journal Article
The Aphyosemion calliurum species group is poorly diagnosed by chromatic and meristic characteristics leading various authors to propose different species as members. We used partial sequence of the mitochondrial cytochrome ...
Opportunities to Strengthen Fish Supply Chain Policy to Improve External Food Environments for Nutrition in the Solomon Islands
Type: Journal Article
Malnutrition and food insecurity have significant social and economic impacts in small island developing states, such as the Solomon Islands. Enhancing the domestic supply of fish, the main source of local protein, can ...
Inclusion of small indigenous fish improves nutritional quality during the first 1000 days
Type: Journal Article
Key contributing factors to undernutrition in low-income countries, including Bangladesh, are low dietary diversity in the diets of women and low nutrient density of traditional complementary foods (CFs) for infants and ...
A high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly of rohu carp, Labeo rohita, and its utilization in SNP-based exploration of gene flow and sex determination
Type: Journal Article
Labeo rohita (rohu) is a carp important to aquaculture in South Asia, with a production volume close to Atlantic salmon. While genetic improvements to rohu are ongoing, the genomic methods commonly used in other aquaculture ...
The Role of Fish in the First 1,000 Days in Zambia
Type: Journal Article
Fish is especially rich in essential omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids and micronutrients, including bioavailable calcium, iron and zinc. Fish features prominently in the diet of most, especially poor, Zambians. ...
