Many methods have been developed in the last 70 years to predict the natural mortality rate,
M, of a stock based on empirical evidence from comparative life history studies. These …

Few studies have attempted to understand how fish growth scales at community and
macroecological levels. This study evaluated the drivers of reef fish growth across a large …

The surgeonfish Ctenochaetus striatus is abundant and widely distributed on reefs
throughout the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Population samples at 15 sites that spanned 158 …

Fishery‐independent sampling was used to determine growth patterns, life span, mortality
rates and timing of maturation and sex change in 12 common parrotfishes (Labridae: tribe …

Variation in life‐history characteristics is evident within and across animal populations. Such
variation is mediated by environmental gradients and reflects metabolic constraints or trade …

Abstract Groupers (Family Epinephelidae) are important to commercial, subsistence, and
recreational fisheries throughout the world. Grouper species have complex life histories that …

Many sharks are listed as data deficient in assessment and management reports owing to a
lack of basic life history data, making decisions about conservation management difficult. As …

An extensive search for data on life-history and ecological variables was conducted for a
representative number of the species within the family Lutjanidae. After creating different …

As part of a wider study to develop an ecosystem-health monitoring program for wadeable
streams of south-eastern Queensland, Australia, comparisons were made regarding the …

Size‐at‐age information is critical in estimating growth parameters (eg, the von Bertalanffy
growth function [VBGF]) that are used to assess fish populations. Due to gear selectivity …
