A review of the ELEFAN system for analysis of length-frequency data in fish and aquatic invertebrates
Type: Book Chapter
Some aspects of the history and present role of length-based methods for the study of the growth, mortality and recruitment of fish invertebrate stocks are reviewd. The recently-developed ELEFAN (Electronic Length Frequency ...
Oil, fish and the sun and the wind
Type: Journal Article
The energy sources of importance in the fishing industry are discussed in detail. An account is given of fish catching,fish growing and fish saving and the role energy plays in each. Wind, sun and biogas are all considered ...
The fishes and their ecology
Type: Report
An annotated list of 188 species of fishes recorded from San Miguel Bay, Philippines is presented. Of these, 48% are euryhaline marine species. The most abundant fishes belong to marine species whose representatives are ...
Studying single-species dynamics in a tropical multispecies context
Type: Book Chapter
Some methods available for the study of the population dynamics of tropical fish are reviewed; emphasis is given to questions of growth, mortality and recruitment, and to relatively new approaches, such as aging by means ...
Training courses in fish stock assessment: the past and the future
Type: Journal Article
Ideally, all countries with major marine and/or inland capture fisheries should have a few scientists specialized in stock assessment techniques to lead research programs and to analyze the results for management and ...
On length-weight relationships. Part I: Computing the mean weights of the fish in a given length class
Type: Journal Article
When working with length frequency date, we often need to compute the mean weights of the fish in the various classes. This article outlines one of the methods used.
A mechanism for the juvenile-to-adult transition in fishes
Type: Journal Article
The mechanisms used by physiologists and fishery biologists to explain why fish become mature are shown to be wanting. The hypothesis is presented that diminishing oxygen supply per unit weight serves in growing fish as ...
