Three experiments were performed during spring 2004, to develop a method to elevate the blood plasma level of 11-ketotestosterone (11-KT) in male brood stock of spotted wolffish Anarhichas minor, and to study the effects of 11-KT on sperm production. Intraperitoneal implantation of silastic capsules containing 11-KT - coconut butter mixture and 11-KT - sesame oil mixture and intramuscular injection ...

The Red King Crab and the consequences of its introduction to the Barents Sea and the North-Norwegian coast has been a source for research in many directions for several years. There has not been much financial research, despite the fact that the Red King Crab is a highly valuable nutritional species which gives it a highly economically value.

The Ghanaian tuna fishery is a baitboat and purse seine fishery. Three main species of tuna are caught namely, Skipjack, Bigeye and Yellowfin. A detailed and comprehensive set of catch and effort data for the tuna fisheries has been obtained for the period 1980-2001. Harvest functions have been designed and estimated. By maximising the loglikelihood function by numerical methods, parameter ...

This study has been conducted in the northern most Rift Valley lake fishery – lake Ziway. Catch & effort and economic data have been used to analyze its fishery. The aim of the analysis was to review the present management situation of the lake and to apply bioeconomic theory to estimate the maximum and economic yields of the lake. The Schaefer’s surplus production model has been employed to ...
