Age and growth of three species of Lake Victoria fish determined by means of otolith daily growth rings
Type: Journal Article
The sagittal otoliths of Lates niloticus, Haplochromis obesus, and Oreochromis niloticus from Lake Victoria were examined for daily growth rings using scanning electron microscopy. In the three species the increments were ...
Growth and length-weight parameters of Pacific mackerel (Scomber japonicus) in the Gulf of Guayaquil, Ecuador
Type: Journal Article
The seasonally oscillating growth parameters and length-weight relationships for Scomber japonicus caught in the Gulf of Guayaquil, Ecuador, were determined based on length-frequency data from 1989 to 1996, using the FiSAT ...
Biological parameters, body length-weight and length-height relationships for various species in Greek waters
Type: Journal Article
Biological/fisheries parameters (L sub(oo) M, F) are presented for four fish species (Gadiculus argenteus; Gaidropsarus mediterraneous; Symphurus ligulatus; Lepidorhombus boscii) as well as body length-weight and length-height ...
Rice-fish-vegetable integrated farming: towards a sustainable ecosystem
Type: Journal Article
An outline is given of procedures to take in order to adopt an integrated rice-fish-vegetable farming system in India. Vegetables, which are cultivated in the dikes of the system, may include Luffa acutangula, Vigna ...
Length-weight relationships of Cuban marine fishes
Type: Journal Article
A total of 140 sets of parameters (a and b) of the length-weight relationships (LWR) of the form W=aL super(b) are presented for fishes caught in Cuban waters. These parameters cover 94 species of fish belonging to 43 ...
Growth, mortality and yield-per-recruit of the poor cod, Trisopterus minutus capelanus, from the Strait of Sicily
Type: Journal Article
Length-based methods (LBMs) were used to study the growth of Trisopterus minutus capelanus in the Strait of Sicily (Messina Strait). A total of 16,304 'merluzzetto' or poor cod collected by experimental trawling off the ...
A reassessment of equations for predicting natural mortality in Mediterranean telosts
Type: Journal Article
This brief article presents new empirical models for prediction of natural mortality (M) from growth parameters (L and K, W and K) in Mediterranean teleosts, based on 56 data sets presented in an earlier paper in the January ...
Length-weight relationship of fishes from coral reefs and lagoons of New Caledonia: an update
Type: Journal Article
Length-weight relationships of 316 reef and lagoon fish from New Caledonia (SW Pacific Ocean) belonging to 68 families are computed. A total of 43,750 individuals was used for this purpose. Fish were sampled by different ...
Length-weight relationships of soft-bottom demersal fishes from Jalisco and Colima states, Mexico
Type: Journal Article
The parameters a and b of the length-weight relationship of the form W=aL super(b) were estimated for 24 species of soft bottom demersal fishes caught on the continental shelf off Jalisco and Colima states, Mexico. The ...
Can the age of the tropical species be determined by otolith measurement?: a study using Pristipomoides filamentosus (Pisces: Lutjanidae) from the Mahe Plateau, Seychelles
Type: Journal Article
The sagittal otoliths of bluespot jobfish (Pristipomoides flamentosus) from the Mahe Plateau, Seychelles, were examined for growth rings using light microscopy. Banding with putative annual and monthly frequency were ...
