Two new approaches for examining multivariate aquaculture growth data: the "Extended Bayley Plot" and path analysis
Type: Book Chapter
Two new approaches for the multivariate analysis of fish growh in aquaculture are presented.
Simulation of the effects of oxygen on food consumption and growth of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (L.)
Type: Journal Article
Fish need oxygen for aerobic generation of energy for body maintenance, locomotion, feeding and biosynthesis. The rate of oxygen uptake of most fish is limited by diffusion through the gills, and gill surface area grows ...
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 ...
MAXIMS: a computer program for estimating the food consumption of fishes from diel stomach contents data and population parameters
Type: Manual
Developed for IBM PC (and its compatibles), the software estimates the size-specific daily food consumption of fishes from a 24-hour cycle of stomach contents data for either one or two feeding periods per day, as well ...
Growth performance in fishes: rigorous description of patterns as a basis for understanding causal mechanisms
Type: Journal Article
The origins and features of the growth performance index Phi ' are reviewed, emphasizing its ability to express the underlying common characteristics of a family of growth curves. Some other aspects of Phi ' are discussed, ...
Predicting food consumption of fish populations as functions of mortality, food type, morphometrics, temperature and salinity
Type: Journal Article
A large data set of relative food-consumption estimates (Q/B) of marine and freshwater fish populations (n = 108 populations, 38 species) is documented and used to derive a predictive model for Q/B, using asymptotic weight, ...
The Third International Symposium on Tilapia in Aquaculture
Type: Conference Proceedings
Tilapias, because of the low cost and relative ease of their production, are a potential food fish staple for many people in tropical countries and a globally traded commodity. This volume of symposium proceedings shows a ...
Tabular data on marine fishes from Southern Africa. Part II: growth parameters
Type: Journal Article
This contribution presents von Bertalanffy growth parameter estimates for 28 species of marine fishes derived from growth curves in R. van der Elst's "Guide to the Common Sea Fishes of Southern Africa".
Fisheries and aquaculture research capabilities and needs in Africa: studies of Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Mauritania, Morocco, and Senegal
Type: Journal Article
This Technical Report contains the results of 2 missions. One mission deals with the state of fisheries andaquaculture research as well as research needs in 4 countries in Southeastern Africa: Kenya, Malawi,Mozambique an ...
Le troisieme symposium international sur le tilapia en aquaculture
Type: Conference Proceedings
Tilapias, because of the low cost and relative ease of their production, are a potential food fish staple for many people in tropical countries and a globally traded commodity. This volume of symposium proceedings shows a ...
