Growth, mortality, maturity and length-weight parameters of fishes in Lake Kariba, Africa
Type: Journal Article
This preliminary compilation presents vital parameters for 22 species of freshwater fish from Lake Kariba. The majority of the growth parameters are derived from tables in Balon and Coche's "Lake Kariba: a man-made tropical ...
Length-weight relationships of fishes from tributaries of the Volta River, Ghana Part 1: Analysis of pooled data sets
Type: Journal Article
The parameters a and b of length-weight relationships of the form W = a L super(b) were estimated for 45 fish species sampled in the Oti, Pru and Black Volta rivers, Ghana. Also, the slope and intercepts of regressional ...

Estimation of yield per recruit when growth and fishing mortality oscillate seasonally
Type: Journal Article
A general form of the yield equation is presented. This is used to investigate the effects of seasonal growth oscillations on estimation of yield per recruit. The results show that these effects will be strongest in ...
