Bacterial and microalgal communities in carp polyculture systems: Composition, affecting factors and further perspectives
Type: Journal Article
Carp polyculture is the planet's most widely practiced fish production system, using multiple fish species living in diverse trophic and spatial niches of a pond to maximize productivity. Increases in farm productivity can ...
Notes on the assessment of the stocks of small pelagic species on the basis of length frequency analysis and converted catch curves
Type: Journal Article
Difficulties are usually encountered when small pelagic species are to be assessed, using simple classical methods such as the surplus production model. Interannual variations of recruitment and fishing patterns and ...
Performance of emergent aquaculture technologies in Myanmar; challenges and opportunities
Type: Journal Article
This paper assesses the performance of small-scale aquaculture technologies and factors influencing production, associated income and fish consumption of such technologies within agri-food farming systems in Myanmar.
Rapid visualization in the specific detection of Flavobacterium columnare, a causative agent of freshwater columnaris using a novel recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) combined with lateral flow dipstick (LFD) assay
Type: Journal Article
Flavobacterium columnare is the causative agent of columnaris, a serious disease affecting numerous freshwater fish species worldwide. Although several molecular protocols have been established to detect this pathogen, ...
On the interrelationships between naturual mortality, growth parameters, and mean environmental temperature in 175 fish stocks
Type: Journal Article
A compilation of values for the exponential coefficient of natural mortality (M) is given for 175 different stocks of fish distributed in 84 species, both freshwater and marine, and ranging from polar to tropical waters.

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 ...
