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 ...
Estimating the girth of fish by applying an elliptic model
Type: Journal Article
A new method for estimating the maximum girth of roundfish is proposed as illustrated; this is based on an elliptic approximation of the cross sections of the fish body. Results derived from a small sample horse mackerel, ...
