Heterogeneous individual growth of Macrobrachium rosenbergii male morphotypes
Type: Journal Article
In a single cohort of small freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii, the size range of females in the population is rather small. However, among the males, three major morphotypes are found and each has a distinct size ...
African freshwater fisheries: what needs to be managed?
Type: Journal Article
The management of African freshwater fisheries in Southern African Development Coordination (SADC) countries is discussed. Changes in catch and fishing effort in the SADC freshwater fisheries in the past 50 years, the main ...
Predicting self-recruitment in marine populations: biophysical correlates and mechanisms
Type: Journal Article
Mounting evidence suggests that some populations of benthic marine organisms may be less demographically ‘open’ than previously thought. The degree to which a population receives recruits from local sources versus other ...
Interactions between coastal and marine ecosystems and human population systems: perspectives on how consumption mediates this interaction
Type: Journal Article
Better knowledge about the relationships among population, coastal environments, and consumption is absolutely essential if we are to arrive at adequate policies and management systems. Vibrant economic activity in the ...
Genetic enhancement and conservation of aquatic biodiversity in Africa
Type: Journal Article
There is a pressing need to enhance fish production in Africa through improved farm management and the use of improved fish breeds and/or alien species in aquaculture while at the same time conserve the aquatic genetic ...
SLODS: slow dissolving standards for water flow measurements
Type: Journal Article
In this study, we report the development of slow dissolving standard (SLODS™), designed to estimate water flow over a lunar period (30 days). To demonstrate the usefulness and validity of this technique, we describe ...
Settlement, movement and early juvenile mortality of the yellowtail snapper Ocyurus chrysurus
Type: Journal Article
The yellowtail snapper Ocyurus chrysurus is one of the most important and heavily targeted reef fishery species in the Caribbean. In this study, we investigate the first month of post-settlement life in shallow seagrass ...

Type: Journal Article
Parameters a and b of the length-weight relationship (LWR) were estimated for eleven species of mudskippers caught in the coastal areas of Selangor, Malaysia. The values of b ranged from 2.56 to 3.50 with the mean b equal ...
Integration of aquaculture into crop-animal systems in Asia
Type: Journal Article
The status of integrated agriculture-aquaculture (IAA) in Asia is reviewed, with an emphasis on rural small-scale systems. Existing IAA systems within mixed farming systems are characterised and the economic and ecological ...
Signboards as an aquaculture extension tool in Bangladesh
