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, ...
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 ...
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.
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, ...
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) ...
