Growth, Age Validation, Mortality, and other Population Characteristics of the Red Emperor Snapper, Lutjanus sebae (Cuvier, 1828), off the Kimberley Coast of North-Western Australia

Stephen J. Newman, +1 more
- 01 Jul 2002 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined commercial catches in the Northern Demersal Scalefish Fishery (NDSF) of north-western Australia from 1997 to 1999 and found that the optimum rate of fishing mortality was estimated to be 0·052-0·061.

Energy transformations by the Iceland scallop, Chlamys islandica (O. F. Müller), from 70°N. I. The age-specific energy budget and net growth efficiency

Ola Vahl
- 14 Jul 1981 - 
TL;DR: Age-specific differences in annual growth are caused by the younger scallops' ability to maintain a high growth rate for a longer period than older scallop, indicating that in C. islandica maturation depends more on size than on age.
Journal ArticleDOI

Age, growth, maturity, longevity and natural mortality of the shortfin mako shark (Isurus oxyrinchus) in New Zealand waters

Silver Bishop, +3 more
- 31 Mar 2006 - 
TL;DR: The shortfin mako is a late-maturing species with moderate longevity and low natural mortality, with these life history characteristics and an unknown stock size and structure worldwide, management should be of a precautionary nature.
Journal ArticleDOI

Using demographic models to determine intrinsic rate of increase and sustainable fishing for elasmobranchs : Pitfalls, advances, and applications

Todd Gedamke, +4 more
- 01 May 2007 - 
TL;DR: Neither a Leslie matrix nor a life table can be used to estimate r intrinsic without additional information, except in the special case where a severely depleted population is modeled.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crustacean zooplankton species richness: single- and multiple-year estimates

Shelley E. Arnott, +2 more
- 01 Jul 1998 - 
TL;DR: The authors' richness estimates for individual lakes approach the total number of zooplankton found in some regions of Canada, suggesting that each lake has most taxa at some time, the majority being very rare.
