However, much remains unknown about the fish and crustacean communities in mangroves lifecycles behaviours of individual species. This study is first to describe Vanga mangrove ecosystem, largest forest most important marine fisheries landing site southern Kenya. Using fyke nets, 14 creek sites were samp...

Length-based analyses were conducted to assess the stock of the green tiger shrimp Penaeus semisulcatus. Monthly carapace length frequency data were collected from commercial catches at two main landing sites on the Yemeni Red Sea coast for eight months. Growth parameters, mortalities, exploitation rate and yield per recruit were estimated for this species in this area. The estimated growth par...

Carapace length frequency data of green tiger prawn, Penaeus semisulcatus, were monthly collected from 50 stations along the coastal waters of Bushehr, Persian Gulf, during January 2003 to March2004. FiSAT program was used to analysea total of 535 shrimp’s including292 females and 243 males, for the relationships of total length, weight and carapace length. The L¥ and K for males were estimated...
