parasites of lizards has recently become the subject of sectional interests. In the absence of any objective criteria for classifying the group, two nomenclatures have come into current usage. Workers with interests in the natural history of the lizard parasites have emphasized the features that distinguish lizard and mammalian parasites and have tended to give the lizard parasites generic rank...

in this study, 160 fishes were randomly collected from commercial catch by a cone net in babolsar port from january to october 2010. the biological features of specimens were measured. 2 + years old fishes made the dominant age group with 33.75% and 1 + and 5 + years old had the least frequency (8.75%). relationship between length and weight indicated negative allometric growth pattern (b=2.581...

We present data on the efficacy of Mesocyclops longisetus as a biocontrol agent in controlling Aedes aegypti larvae in catch basins in Cali, Colombia. Additionally, we determined some of the features that facilitated the establishment of the copepods in catch basins. Between June 1999 and February 2000, 201 catch basins were treated with an average of 500 adult copepods. The copepods had establ...

  This paper aimed to investigate the fishery and biological characteristics of anchovy Kilka in Iranian waters of the Caspian Sea from 2005-2007, including length and age structure ,Von Bertalanffy growth parameters, length and age at first capture, condition factor, sex ratio, natural and fishing mortality. The examination of catch data approved that Kilka population in the Caspian Sea have b...

For federally managed fisheries in the USA, National Standard 1 requires that an acceptable biological catch be set for all fisheries and that this catch avoid overfishing. Achieving this goal for data-poor stocks, for which stock assessments are not possible, is particularly challenging. A number of harvest control rules have very recently been developed to set sustainable catches in data-poor...

Human errors are a major concern in many medical processes. To help address this problem, we are investigating an approach for automatically detecting when performers of a medical process deviate from the acceptable ways of performing that process as specified by a detailed process model. Such deviations could represent errors and, thus, detecting and reporting deviations as they occur could he...

Fishery management complexity conspires to defeat seemingly obvious solutions to overfishing. Management may not adequately include decisions of fishers, management, and politicians. A new, simple, but acceptably complex fish population model is meshed with both fishery activities and management decision making. The population component is based on the common single stock biomass dynamic model....
