Development and growth (continuous in fish) are controlled by 'internal factors' including
CNS, endocrinological and neuroendocrinological systems. Among vertebrates, they also …

The life history, distribution and diversity of fishes are largely influenced by environmental
salinity. Changes in salinity affect a range of physiological processes including metabolism …

Bergmann's rule, which proposes a heat‐balance explanation for the observed latitudinal
gradient of increasing animal body size with increasing latitude, has dominated the study of …

Growth rate of tagged juvenile turbot was significantly influenced by the interaction of
temperature and fish size. The results suggest the optimum temperature for growth of …

A new time-dependent continuous model of biomass size spectra is developed. In this
model, predation is the single process governing the energy flow in the ecosystem, as it …

Growth rate of individually tagged juvenile halibut was influenced significantly by the
interaction of temperature and fish size. The results suggest an optimum temperature for …

Multiple regression analysis was used to develop mathematical models applicable to the
growth and food intake of Octopus vulgaris. The variables considered were: body weight …

This new edition of Biological Oceanography has been greatly updated and expanded since
its initial publication in 2004. It presents current understanding of ocean ecology …

Abstract The effects of temperatures (22, 26, 30 and 34° C) and diets (commercial pellet and
shrimp) on the growth properties and gastric emptying time (GET) of the tiger grouper× giant …

Several recent studies have demonstrated that rapid growth early in life leads to decreased
physiological performance. Nearly all involved experiments over short time periods (< 1 day) …
