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 ...
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, ...
Indices of overall growth performance of 100 tilapia (Cichlidae) populations
Type: Conference Paper
Four indices for comparing the overall growth performance of fishes ( omega , P, Phi , and Phi ') proposed by various authors are assessed, based on growth parameter estimates in 100 populations of tilapia in 15 species of the ...
Some definitions of overfishing relevant to coastal zone management in Southeast Asia
Type: Journal Article
This essay is an attempt to define overfishing in terms less technical than those generally used by fishery biologists. It started from the classical definition, then quickly moved on to concepts that may be more relevant ...
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.
On the seasonal growth, monthly recruitment and monthly biomass of Peruvian anchoveta (Engraulis ringens) from 1961 to 1979
Type: Book Chapter
The paper reports on the application to the anchoveta of a newly developed set of methods for the investigaton of exploited fish stocks. the set of methods are incorporated in the ELEFAN (Electronic Length Frequency Analysis) ...
A multiple regression model for predicting the food consumption of marine fish populations
Type: Journal Article
The construction of trophic (food web) models of ecosystems, as needed for both theoretical and practical purposes such as fisheries management, requires estimates of food consumption (Q) by each of the various species ...
