the growth parameters, mortality rates and exploitation population dynamic parameters and exploitation rate of psettodes erumei were assessed between july 2010 to june 2011 using length frequency analysis. the data were collected from landing sites of jask, bandar abass, kong and qeshm hormozgan province waters. using total weight (w) and total length (tl) data, the length- weight relationship ...

Catastrophic events such as oil spills, hypoxia, disease, and major predation events occur in marine ecosystems and affect fish populations. Previous evaluations of the performance of spatial management alternatives have not considered catastrophic events. We investigate the effects of local and global catastrophic events on populations managed with and without no-take marine reserves and with ...

The decline of the eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) as an estuarine resource is well documented for many estuaries on the United States east coast. This decline is often associated with a decline in the shell resource and ultimately the disappearance of the shell bed. We develop a model that expressly and conjointly evaluates oyster abundance and surficial shell quantity and examine wheth...

  The aim of the present study was to investigate the population dynamics of Liza klunzingeri, in Hormouzgan province waters located in northern coasts of the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea. This study was carried out from October 2007 to September 2008. samples were collected from commercial stake traps. The relationship between weight and fork length was found to be W= 0.0214 F.L2.8233 suggesting ...

  The aim of the present study was to investigate the age structure, length-weight relationship, sex ratio, sexual maturity stages, growth parameters, natural and fishing mortality coefficients of three species of kilka including common, anchovy and bigeye kilka. The fork length–weight relationship of common, anchovy and bigeye kilka were calculated as W=0.000153 FL2.37, W=0.000349 FL2.18 and W...

Effects of age at first capture (tc) and fishing (F) as well as natural mortalities (M) on yield and biomass-per-recruit of tiger tooth croacker, Otolithes ruber were evaluated in the northwest of the Persian Gulf using the Beverton-Holt model. The yield-per-recruit (Y/R) was 175 (g/r), which was less than maximum yield-per-recruit value (217 (g/r)) at fishing mortality of 1 year-1. Current ...
