A simple index of metabolic level in fishes
Type: Journal Article
Details are given of the use of an aspect ratio of the caudal fin of fish as an index of metabolic level. Studies have shown that this ratio, besides correlating with food consumption, also has close relationships with ...
Length-converted catch curves: a powerful tool for fisheries research in the Tropics (part 2)
Type: Journal Article
A method is described for the determination of the selection curve of fishing gear from the shape of the ascending arm of a length-converted catch curve and growth parameters.
Application of information on age and growth of fish to fishery management
Type: Book Chapter
Information on the age and growth of fish is usually related to one or several of the following items: construction of age/length keys for direct use in some assessment models (e.g. Virtual Population Analysis); estimation ...
An objective method for determining fish growth from length-frequency data
Type: Journal Article
A computing procedure was devised, to determine fish growth, that traces through a series of length frequencysamples sequentially arranged in time, a multitude of growth curves, and then selects the single curve which best ...
A review of the ELEFAN system for analysis of length-frequency data in fish and aquatic invertebrates
Type: Book Chapter
Some aspects of the history and present role of length-based methods for the study of the growth, mortality and recruitment of fish invertebrate stocks are reviewd. The recently-developed ELEFAN (Electronic Length Frequency ...
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.
An annotated bibliography of slipmouths (Pisces: Leiognathidae)
Type: Book
A bibliography of the fishes of the Leiognathidae family (slipmouth, pony-fishes, silver-bellies, etc.) is presented. A total of 941 references, most of which are annotated, are listed, covering all aspects of their biology, ...
Monsoon induced seasonality in the recruitment of Philippine fishes
Type: Book Chapter
The patterns of recruitment of 112 stocks of Philippine teleost fishes, from 23 families, 34 genera and 57 species, have been studied in detail. The annual recruitment patterns, which were obtained by the backward projection ...
Application to shrimp stocks of objective meathods for the estimation of growth, mortality and recruitment-related parameters from length-frequency data (ELEFAN I and II)
Type: Book Chapter
This paper presents applications to several shrimp stocks of a new, computer-based set of methods for the detailed analysis of length-frequency data. These applications include the objective estimation of growth parameters, ...
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.
