Adaptive host choice and avoidance of superparasitism in the spawning decisions of bitterling (Rhodeus sericeus)

Carl Smith, +3 more
- 06 Jun 2000 - 
TL;DR: Female oviposition choice is adaptive and minimizes individual embryo mortality in bitterling populations, and females distributed their eggs among mussels such that embryo mortalities conformed to the predictions of an ideal free distribution model.

Estimation of Mortality Rates in Fish Populations

J. E. Paloheimo
- 01 Jul 1980 - 
TL;DR: After a simple linearization procedure, regressions of logeCPUE against effort and age can give estimates of natural mortality rate, catchability coefficient, and size of the cohort, which are applied to Lake Opeongo trout data.
Journal ArticleDOI

Age and growth of the common carp, Cyprinus carpio, in the River Murray, Australia: validation, consistency of age interpretation, and growth models

Lorenzo Vilizzi, +1 more
- 01 Jan 1999 - 
TL;DR: From systematic comparisons, the use of both opercular bones and whole otoliths in routine age determinations is recommended, and six growth models, including the von Bertalanffy growth function (VBGF) and five polynomial curves were tested to describe growth in length.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Kalman filter approach to catch-at-length analysis

Patrick J. Sullivan
- 01 Mar 1992 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a state-space representation of a length-structured population under commercial harvest is described and a Kalman filter is used to develop the conditional likelihood equation needed for estimating the underlying system parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI

Conditional production of a functional fish growth hormone in the transgenic line of nannochloropsis oculata (eustigmatophyceae)(1).

Hsin Liang Chen, +3 more
- 01 Jun 2008 - 
TL;DR: The transfer of phr‐YPGHc into the protoplast of marine microalga Nannochloropsis oculata enables production of functional GH and it is proposed that it might be an excellent bioreactor material.
