Can we use traditional length-based fish stock assessment when growth is seasonal?
(1990)Type: Journal ArticleBased on simulated catch data, this contribution shows that standard length-converted catch curves cannot be used for accurately estimating total mortality when growth oscillates seasonally. Some implications for length-based ... -
Kinetic energy and selection in trammel nets
(1990)Type: Journal ArticleEquations are described that may be used for the calculation of the kinetic energy that a fish carries out during their capture in trammel nets in order to determine the selectivity of the gear. (From an unpublished doctoral ... -
