Length-weight relationship of fishes from a seagrass meadow in Negros Oriental, Philippines
Type: Journal Article
The parameters a and b of the length-weight relationship of the form W=aL super(b) were estimated for 13 fish species sampled in a seagrass meadow in Negros Oriental, Philippines. Also, to facilitate conversions, the ...
Modelling the role of marine protected area in biodiversity conservation
Type: Journal Article
This study explored the anthropogenic stressors of a coral habitat and predicted the role of a proposed MPA around coral habitat on biodiversity conservation. The study was conducted in the Saint Martin's Island which is ...
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 ...
Length-weight relationships of fishes from tributaries of the Volta River, Ghana: Part II and Conclusion
Type: Journal Article
Slopes and intercepts of length-weight relationships obtained from 37 populations from the rivers Oti, Pru and Black Volta in Ghana were compared using a one way analysis of covariance with fixed effects. Although no ...
Consumption to biomass (Q/B) ratio and estimates of Q/B-predictor parameters for Caribbean fishes
Type: Journal Article
Estimates of the Q/B ratio and parameters of equations to 'predict' Q/B values for 116 fish stocks in the Gulf of Salamanca, Colombia are presented. A compilation of these estimates available for Caribbean Sea fishes (264 ...
Growth, mortality and length-weight parameters for some Kuwaiti fish and shrimp
Type: Journal Article
As a (small) contribution toward reestablishing communication between Kuwait-based fishing research and other research conducted elsewhere in the tropics, the growth parameter estimates and the "a" and "b" values ...
Time recovery for exploited fish populations based on surplus yield models
Type: Journal Article
A new method to estimate the time recovery of exploited population based on M.B. Schaefer's theory is proposed. The parameters used as follows: current population size (alphaP sub( infinity )'), target population level ...
Growth, mortality and recruitment of Decapterus kurroides in Davao Gulf, Philippines
Type: Journal Article
The ringnet fishery off Davao, southern Philippines, is briefly described. The major species (36%) in the catch is Decapterus kurroides (Pisces, Carangidae), whose growth parameters and mortality rates (natural and fishing) ...
The fish artists
Type: Journal Article
The advantages of a fish painting over a photograph are many. Usually the fish photographed is dead, so its color has probably changed; the fins have to be propped up and damage often occurs. In life, a fish rarely extends ...
Concurrent rice-fish trials: comparing regular and border planting patterns
Type: Journal Article
Details are given of experiments conducted at the Freshwater Aquaculture Centre at Munoz, Philippines, to investigate the effects of varying the rice planting pattern on fish yields in integrated rice field aquaculture ...
