The uptake of food in aquaculture is considered to be crucial in feeding systems and
obviously affects the weight and diet conversion efficiency. Over-feeding may lead to feed …

This study describes and analyses the local knowledge held by Brazilian and Australian
fishers about the ecology (feeding habits, habitats, migratory movements), and the …

Bluefish (Pomatomus saltatrix) has a worldwide distribution, being targeted by fishers all
along its range, which includes the Brazilian coast. We formulated and checked hypotheses …

It is often suggested that there are few piscivorous fishes in shallow estuarine habitats
worldwide, and consequently that these habitats are valuable as nurseries for juvenile fishes …

Fish behavior can be altered by contaminants. There is an extensive literature on laboratory
behavioral assays, with many chemicals impairing feeding or predator avoidance. However …

Nous avons mesuré le poids et la densité de tassergals (Pomatomus saltatrix) et la taille de
leurs proies durant les étés 1992 et 1993, ainsi que leur régime alimentaire sur une période …

Many complex factors determine the role of estuarine habitats and landscapes in fish growth
and survival that ultimately contribute individuals to adult populations. In this chapter, we …

Abstract Populations of American eel Anguilla rostrata along the eastern coast of North
America have declined drastically for largely unknown reasons. We examined the …

Shallow estuarine habitats throughout the world are recognised as valuable nursery
grounds for juvenile fishes. It is often suggested that this is due, at least in part, to the …

Background Data derived from studies of fishers' local ecological knowledge (LEK) can be
invaluable to the proposal of new studies and more appropriate management strategies …
