This atlas presents the results of a detailed analysis of length-frequency data collected from 1957 to 1981 throughout the Philippines, covering 23 families, including 34 genera and 56 species representing 112 stocks ...
Estimation of natural mortality from selection and catch length-frequency data: a modification of Munro's method and application example
Type: Journal Article
Details are given of the modification of Munro's method for the estimation of natural mortality from length-frequency data. An example is given of application of the method using length-frequencies of brown trout (Salmo ...
Growth of grey triggerfish Balistes capriscus, based on growth checks of the dorsal spine
Type: Journal Article
An estimation is given of growth parameters of grey triggerfish (Balistes capriscus ) occurring off the coast ofGhana. Growth was estimated by observing annuli in the dorsal spine. From the distribution of observed length ...
