Growth, reproduction, and size at first maturity of blue shrimp, Litopenaeus stylirostris (Stimpson, 1874) along the east coast of the Gulf of California, Mexico

Catch rates, size structure and sex ratio of Melicertus kerathurus (Decapoda: Penaeidae) from an Aegean Sea trawl fishery

“…Thus, low rainfall may be the cause of the delayed arrival of recruits on the fishing ground. Another possible factor could be temperature, since inter-annual variations in reproduction and recruitment pattern are considered as temperature related (Minagawa et al, 2000;Leal-Gaxiola et al, 2001;López-Martínez et al, 2005). Unfortunately, the lack of complete temperature data for the study period does not allow similar comparisons.…”

Population dynamics of Melicertus kerathurus (Decapoda: Penaeidae) in Thermaikos Gulf (N. Aegean Sea)

“…Oh et al, 1999;López-Martínez et al, 2005;Etim and Sankare, 1998;Cha et al, 2002;Enin et al, 1996). Thus, growth models which do not incorporate seasonal oscillation fail to conceive an essential picture of the growth process (Pauly, 1990(Pauly, , 1992, particularly in species distributed in temperate or subtropical areas .…”

Population dynamics of the swimming crabs Callinectes (Portunidae) components of shrimp bycatch in the eastern coast of the Gulf of California

“…Due to the previous information, absence of small sizes generates a regression range problem and with it an over-estimation (in L ∞ ) or underestimation (in K) of growth parameters, which has been documented by López-Martínez et al (2005) in peneid shrimp and by Rábago-Quiroz et al (2008) in fish. On the other hand, growth parameter estimates of C. arcuatus and C. bellicosus performed by Hernández & Arreola-Lizárraga (2007) with data from samplings captured with trawling nets in a coastal lagoon (Las Guásimas, Sonora) where small sizes dominate generate an underestimation in L ∞ .…”
