  2. Murray cod - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murray_cod

    Wild Murray cod in impoundments like Lake Mulwala, with their faster growth rates, do not reach sexual maturity until they are well over 60 cm (2.0 ft) in length. [ 13 ] [ 28 ] [ 29 ] These data strongly indicate the 50-cm (20-in) size limit for Murray cod is inadequate and should be increased substantially to allow for a greater chance of ...

  3. Doubling time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubling_time

    For example, with an annual growth rate of 4.8% the doubling time is 14.78 years, and a doubling time of 10 years corresponds to a growth rate between 7% and 7.5% (actually about 7.18%). When applied to the constant growth in consumption of a resource, the total amount consumed in one doubling period equals the total amount consumed in all ...

  4. Maximum sustainable yield - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_sustainable_yield

    At first, the population growth rate is fast, but it begins to slow as the population grows until it levels off to the maximum growth rate, after which it begins to decrease (figure 2). The equation for figure 2 is the differential of equation 1.1 ( Verhulst's 1838 growth model ): [ 12 ]

  5. Mark and recapture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_and_recapture

    For example, an application of the model in the 1920s was to detect typhoid carriers in London, who were either arriving from zones with high rates of tuberculosis (probability q that a passenger with the disease came from such an area, where q>0.5), or low rates (probability 1−q). [14]

  6. Chemical oxygen demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_oxygen_demand

    FW = Formula weight of the oxidizable compound in the sample, RMO = Ratio of the # of moles of oxygen to # of moles of oxidizable compound in their reaction to CO 2, water, and ammonia. For example, if a sample has 500 Wppm (Weight Parts per Million) of phenol: C 6 H 5 OH + 7O 2 → 6CO 2 + 3H 2 O COD = (500/94)·7·16*2 = 1192 Wppm

  7. Crack tip opening displacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crack_tip_opening_displacement

    The position behind the crack tip at which the distance is measured is arbitrary but commonly used is the point where two 45° lines, starting at the crack tip, intersect the crack faces. [1] The parameter is used in fracture mechanics to characterize the loading on a crack and can be related to other crack tip loading parameters such as the ...

  8. Population dynamics of fisheries - Wikipedia

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

    The Ricker model is a classic discrete population model which gives the expected number (or density) of individuals N t + 1 in generation t + 1 as a function of the number of individuals in the previous generation, + = (/) Here r is interpreted as an intrinsic growth rate and k as the carrying capacity of the environment.

  9. Periodic annual increment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_annual_increment

    Where: Y is the yield (volume, height, DBH, etc.) at times 1 and 2 and T 1 represents the year starting the growth period, and T 2 is the end year. Example: Say that the growth period is from age 5 to age 10, and the yield (height of the tree), is 14 feet at the beginning of the period and 34 feet at the end.
