Population Estimation from Mark-Recapture Experiments Using a Sequential Bayes Algorithm

W. J. Gazey, +1 more
- 01 Aug 1986 - 
TL;DR: A sequential Bayes computational algorithm, suitable for microcomputers, is given and a plot of successive posterior distributions can be used as a visual diagnostic of conformity with basic assumptions.

Virtual population analysis - a practical manual for stock assessment

Hans Lassen
TL;DR: The numerical techniques which can be used to fit the model based on weighted least-squares, which is the basis for the ADAPT approach are described so that they are readily implemented in a spreadsheet.

Steelhead Growth in a Small Central California Watershed: Upstream and Estuarine Rearing Patterns

Sean A. Hayes, +7 more
- 01 Jan 2008 - 
TL;DR: The majority of fish reaching typical steelhead ocean entry sizes were estuary-lagoon reared, which indicates a disproportionate contribution of this habitat type to survival of Scott Creek steelhead.

Influence of nutritional composition of diet on sea bass, Dicentrarchus labrax L., reproductive performance and egg and larval quality

Joan Cerdà, +4 more
- 15 Dec 1994 - 
TL;DR: The results indicate that the reproduction of sea bass and the survival of the progeny are greatly affected by the levels of energy-yielding nutrients in broodstock diets, and that a dietary protein level and a carbohydrate content of 32–33% have adverse consequences on sea bass reproduction.

A comparison of methods for estimating activity costs of wild fish populations: more active fish observed to grow slower

Michael D. Rennie, +4 more
- 01 Apr 2005 - 
TL;DR: Les couts des activites peuvent representer une fraction importante des bilans energetiques des poissons, ce qui peut se faire au detriment des taux de croissance dans les populations sauvages de poisson, ce which implique that les couts reduits desactivites compensent amplement l'ingestion plus faible de nourriture.
