  2. Standard weight in fish - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_weight_in_fish

    Standard weight equation for largemouth bass [1] and burbot [2] (fish). Standard weight in fish is the typical or expected weight at a given total length for a specific species of fish. Most standard weight equations are for freshwater fish species. Weight-length curves are developed by weighing and measuring samples of fish from the population.

  3. Condition index in fish - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condition_index_in_fish

    Weight vs. Length for Red Drum (data from Jenkins 2004) The reference weight-length formula is used to calculate how much the individual fish would be expected to weigh based on its measured length. Then the condition index is the actual weight of the fish divided by its expected weight, times 100%.

  4. Population dynamics of fisheries - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_dynamics_of...

    It has been called "the central problem of fish population dynamics" [14] and “the major problem in fisheries science". [15] Fish produce huge volumes of larvae, but the volumes are very variable and mortality is high. This makes good predictions difficult. [16] According to Daniel Pauly, [15] [17] the definitive study was made in 1999 by ...

  5. Tiger muskellunge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_muskellunge

    As tiger muskies grow longer, they increase in weight. The nonlinear relationship between total length (L, in inches) and total weight (W, in pounds) for nearly all species of fish can be expressed by an equation of the form: = Invariably, b is close to 3.0 for all species, and c is a constant that varies among species

  6. Florida pompano - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_pompano

    Pompano grow quickly and attain a length of about 12 in (30 cm) and a weight of about 1 lb (0.45 kg) after the first year. The relationship between total length (L, in inches) and total weight (W, in pounds) for nearly all fish can be expressed by an equation of the form: =

  7. Fish measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_measurement

    Total and fork length of a fish. Total length (TL) is the length of a fish measured from the tip of the snout to the tip of the longer lobe of the caudal fin, usually measured with the lobes compressed along the midline. It is a straight-line measure, not measured over the curve of the body.

  8. Von Bertalanffy function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Bertalanffy_function

    The function is commonly applied in ecology to model fish growth [2] ... It is the solution of the following linear differential equation: = ...

  9. Feed conversion ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feed_conversion_ratio

    At around the same time the FCR based on weight gain for broilers in Brazil was 1.8. [25] The global average in 2013 is around 2.0 for weight gain (live weight) and 2.8 for slaughtered meat (carcass weight). [26] For hens used in egg production in the US, as of 2011 the FCR was about 2, with each hen laying about 330 eggs per year. [25]
