This important and informative new book outlines and discusses details of the basic
principles and methods that are central to any study of fish condition, from a fish ecology and …

Compensatory growth refers to an animal's ability to grow extremely rapidly after it has
experienced a period of reduced growth. It is also widely held that the growth trajectories of …

Morphometric‐based condition indices are widely used to assess proximate body
composition and, collaterally, feeding and living conditions of fish. However, the exact …

Urbanization tends to increase water temperatures in streams and rivers and is
hypothesized to be contributing to declines of many freshwater fishes. However, factors that …

Numerous researchers have attempted to find suitable proxies for the lipid content of fishes.
Owing to the high carbon content of lipids, C: N ratios have been used as a predictor of lipid …

Inconsistencies in measurement of fish condition: a comparison of four indices of fat …

As condition is a key variable in population dynamics (especially for survival, growth and
reproduction), the use of well-defined and accurate fish condition indices is capital. In …

To guide the selection of condition indices for juvenile fishes, we compared the ability of
several indirect condition indices (those based on length–mass relationships, the …

The objective of the present study was to develop models for predicting live weight from the
length-weight relationship and body composition of Nile tilapia. A total of 3,000 juvenile fish …

Relationships between indices of condition and measures of proximate body composition
were examined among and within nine populations of mature walleyes Sander vitreus that …
