Estimation of survival in marked populations with possibly dependent sighting probabilities

R. L. Sandland, +1 more
- 01 Aug 1981 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a simply parameterized class of models for the estimation of survival probability in a marked population is introduced which allows tests of dependence between sighting probabilities and constancy of survival or sighting probabilities.

Comparison of age-structured and length-converted catch curves of brown trout Salmo trutta in two French rivers

D. Pauly, +2 more
- 01 Mar 1995 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that standard LCC overestimate Z when ACC are used as controls, while LCC explicitly considering seasonal growth oscillations produce unbiased estimates, implications for length-based fish stock assessment are discussed.

Trophic flow kinetics in marine ecosystems: Toward a theoretical approach to ecosystem functioning

Didier Gascuel, +4 more
- 24 Sep 2008 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that the production/biomass (P / B ) ratio, used in many ecosystem models and particularly in the EwE software, can be considered a measure of this speed of the trophic flow, and an empirical model is proposed that expresses the P / B ratio as a generic function of the Trophic level and the mean water temperature.

How fish benefit from floodplain restoration along the lower River Rhine

R.E. Grift
TL;DR: In this article, the authors test the beneficial value of newly created secondary channels and reconnected oxbow lakes along the lower River Rhine for fish and to give advice on position, shape and character of future water bodies.

Assessing the Impact of Power Plant Mortality on the Compensatory Reserve of Fish Populations

C. Phillip Goodyear
TL;DR: The technique was used to examine the impact of power plant mortality on a hypothetical striped bass population and can be applied to determine a critical compensation ratio which could serve as a standard against which additional sources of mortality, such as those caused by power plants, could be measured.
