Modeling of body growth forms an essential part of many fisheries stock assessments.
Growth influences population dynamics through its effects on lifetime patterns of biomass …

Somatic growth is a fundamental property of living organisms, and is of particular importance
for species with indeterminate growth that can change in size continuously throughout their …

Growth modelling is a fundamental component of fisheries assessments but is often
hindered by poor quality data from biased sampling. Several methods have attempted to …

Less variable than life history parameters (LHPs), it is life history ratios (LHRs) that define
how taxa allocate energy between growth, maintenance and reproduction, and respond to …

Many capture fisheries are considered data-poor, including the northern pike (Esox lucius)
fishery in brackish lagoons in the southern Baltic Sea of Germany. The objective of our work …

Small-scale fisheries (SSF) in southeast Asia contribute more food fish for human
consumption than industrial fisheries and in Indonesia, employ almost 85% of the total …

Fisheries assessments often rely on age composition data to infer information about growth,
mortality, and the outcome of various management policies. To reduce the costs of …

Life history parameters were historically used to identify fish stocks because they are often
easy to measure or are routinely measured as part of fishery monitoring and because they …

The limitations imposed by traditional sampling methods have restricted the acquisition of
data on key fisheries parameters. This is particularly the case for juveniles because most …

Ensuring the accuracy of age estimation in fisheries science through validation is an
essential step in managing species for long-term sustainable harvest. The current study …
