The porthole shovelnose catfish, Hemisorubim platyrhynchos, is the sixth largest pimelodidae of the Pantanal. Its age and growth were studied using pectoral fin-spines from fish collected in the Cuiabá river basin, Pantanal. The fish, which came from commercial and experimental fisheries, were all caught with hook and line. Growth-ring formation time could not be defined through the Kruskal-Wal...

In answer to a question of Andrews about finding combinatorial proofs of two identities in Ramanujan’s “lost” notebook, we obtain weighted forms of Euler’s theorem on partitions with odd parts and distinct parts. This work is inspired by the insight of Andrews on the connection between Ramanujan’s identities and Euler’s theorem. Our combinatorial formulations of Ramanujan’s identities rely on t...

Discard mortality can make fishing unsustainable, even in catch-and-release or highly regulated fisheries. However, practices and gears that minimize hook injury, handling, air exposure considerably improve fitness survival released fish. This study tested whether modified hooks could allow anglers to successfully land then release fish the water without handling. Standard, barbless, bite-short...

The fish yields of most Nigeria inland waters are generally on the decline for causes that may range from inadequate management of the fisheries to degradation of the water bodies. Sustainable exploitation requires knowledge of the ichthyofaunal composition in the water bodies. We did a survey of fish species in Anambra river basin for 22 months. Fish samples were collected using four different...

background: the purposes of the present study were morphometric characteri-zation of rostellar hooks of taenia multiceps and to investigate the association of hook length variation and the variability within two mitochondrial genes of sheep isolates of the parasite. methods: up to 4500 sheep brains were examined for the presence of c. cerebralis . biometric characters based on the larval rostel...

FAD technology has an indirect impact on the development of fishery stocks, thereby increasing diversity fish species in area. This study aimed to determine types pelagic caught using handlines around FADs. The target this was traditional fishermen. research conducted survey methods and directly involved fishing process. Fishing carried out with specifications consisting main line, weight, swiv...

We introduce a quasisymmetric generalization of Berele and Regev’s hook Schur functions and prove that these new quasisymmetric hook Schur functions decompose the hook Schur functions in a natural way. In this paper we examine the combinatorics of the quasisymmetric hook Schur functions, providing analogues of the RobinsonSchensted-Knuth algorithm and a generalized Cauchy Identity. Résumé. Nous...
