Type: Journal Article
Version 1.1 of the Compleat ELEFAN program package of length-based fish stock assessment studies is presented, indicating the differences with version 1.0 and describing minimum hardware requirements.
The relationships between gill surface area and growth performance in fish: a generalization of von Bertalanffy's theory of growth
Type: Journal Article
This paper is an attempt to interpret some of the data on fish growth available in the literature, emphasis is being given to a reassessment of von Bertalanffy's theory of growth as applied to fishes.
Growth performance in fishes: rigorous description of patterns as a basis for understanding causal mechanisms
Type: Journal Article
The origins and features of the growth performance index Phi ' are reviewed, emphasizing its ability to express the underlying common characteristics of a family of growth curves. Some other aspects of Phi ' are discussed, ...
On holism, reductionism and working from 9 to 5
Type: Journal Article
A discussion is presented on the 2 approaches - holism and reductionism - in the study of environmental sciences, making reference to various projects presently being conducted by ICLARM and its collaborators using the ...
The fishes and their ecology
Type: Report
An annotated list of 188 species of fishes recorded from San Miguel Bay, Philippines is presented. Of these, 48% are euryhaline marine species. The most abundant fishes belong to marine species whose representatives are ...
On the seasonal growth, monthly recruitment and monthly biomass of Peruvian anchoveta (Engraulis ringens) from 1961 to 1979
Type: Book Chapter
The paper reports on the application to the anchoveta of a newly developed set of methods for the investigaton of exploited fish stocks. the set of methods are incorporated in the ELEFAN (Electronic Length Frequency Analysis) ...
Changes in models of aquatic ecosystems approaching carrying capacity
Type: Journal Article
Using a top-down modeling approach, published mass-balance models of trophic interactions and state variables in the western central Pacific Ocean and the northern Gulf of Mexico shelf were used to explore how large increases ...
On microcomputers vs. thinking and their respective roles in fisheries research in developing countries
Type: Journal Article

The Peruvian anchoveta, Charles Darwin and us
Type: Journal Article
The last decade has seen and rightly so a boom of Darwiniana, culminating in 1991, in a fascinating new biography by A. Desmond and J. Moore.' Indeed, "spicing up" one's writing with references to Charles Darwin seems one ...
Predicting food consumption of fish populations as functions of mortality, food type, morphometrics, temperature and salinity
Type: Journal Article
A large data set of relative food-consumption estimates (Q/B) of marine and freshwater fish populations (n = 108 populations, 38 species) is documented and used to derive a predictive model for Q/B, using asymptotic weight, ...
