The Dynamics of Exploited Lake Trout Populations and Implications for Management

M. C. Healey
- 01 Apr 1978 - 
TL;DR: Although mortality, growth, and maturity may be used as indicators of fishery potential and fishery development they are not certain indicators in trout populations, available data indicate that exploitation should not exceed 0.5 kg/ha and mortality should not be increased beyond 50 percent.

The effects of size grading and stocking density on growth performance of juvenile abalone, haliotis tuberculata linnaeus

Yunus D. Mgaya, +2 more
- 15 Nov 1995 - 
TL;DR: It is suggested that the choice of stocking density is essentially a trade-off between maximum growth, optimal biomass gain, and economic considerations which may dictate densities that would result in a net reduction in overall production costs.

Patterns in Seasonal Abundance, Growth and Biomass of the Atlantic Silverside, Menidia menidia, in a New England Estuary

David O. Conover, +1 more
- 01 Dec 1982 - 
TL;DR: The annual life history design of M. menidia including an offshore winter movement and high winter mortality suggests that silversides represent an important pathway of energy flow from marsh to offshore trophic systems.

An improved procedure to assess fish condition on the basis of length-weight relationships

Hartmut Richter, +3 more
- 01 Jan 2000 - 
TL;DR: The new factor B' consistently gave the best results, and in larger fish K' was found to be a better predictor of body mass than B, explaining why B' is better than B.

Remote sensing data and longline catches of yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) in the equatorial Atlantic

Cláudia R. Zagaglia, +2 more
- 30 Oct 2004 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the relationship between yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares ) caught in the tropical Atlantic between 15°S and 15°N and 10°W and 55°W by the northeast Brazilian longline fleet, and environmental variables obtained from remote sensors such as sea surface temperature (AVHRR/NOAA), chlorophyll- a concentration (SeaWiFS/SeaStar), sea surface height anomaly (TOPEX/Poseidon), and wind velocity (Scatterometer/ERS-1 and -2).
