Large sharks and rays are generally understudied in the Mediterranean Sea, thus leading to a knowledge gap of basic biological characteristics that important fisheries management ecosystem modeling. Out 76 inhabiting length–weight relations (LWR) available for 28 (37%) them, usually common small-sized species not protected may be marketed. The aim presently reported study was fill through estim...

this study reports the length-weight relationship (lwr), fulton's condition factor ( k ), and sex ratio of the non-native catfish hoplosternum littorale (hancock, 1828) in florida for the first time. sampling was conducted from november 2013 to april 2014 in tosohatchee wildlife management area in christmas, florida. a total of 477 specimens were caught (6.4-13.5 cm tl). the allometric coeffici...

Mrigal or Cirrhinus mrigala (Hamilton 1822) is one of the important aquaculture species in India. During 2017, mrigal contributed 5.7% to production The present study was undertaken describe hatchery-level pre- and post-spawning condition, i.e. weight changes length-weight relationships (LWRs) weight-weight (WWRs) associated with two phases for males females used as broodstock from a commercial...

Groupers are valuable targets for artisanal and recreational fisheries in the Red Sea. The present study aimed to create first time a grouper database, including information on species composition, abundance distribution, length-weight relationships of from Twenty were collected three investigated sites; namely, Hurghada (site II) where landings showed most diversity with 18 species, Shalateen ...

We examined three different-ploidy wheat species to elucidate the development of aboveground architecture and its domesticated mechanism under environment-controlled field conditions. Architecture parameters including leaf, stem, spike and canopy morphology were measured together with biomass allocation, leaf net photosynthetic rate and instantaneous water use efficiency (WUE(i)). Canopy biomas...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis often stimulates gas exchange rates of the host plant. This may relate to mycorrhizal effects on host nutrition and growth rate, or the influence may occur independently of these. Using meta-regression, we tested the strength of the relationship between AM-induced increases in gas exchange, and AM size and leaf mineral effects across the literature. With on...

We investigate the impact of line-edge and line-width roughness (LER, LWR) on the measured diffraction intensities in angular resolved extreme ultraviolet (EUV) scatterometry for a periodic line-space structure designed for EUV lithography. LER and LWR with typical amplitudes of a few nanometers were previously neglected in the course of the profile reconstruction. The two-dimensional (2D) rigo...

The effect of cement dust on the growth parameters of brinjal (Solanum melongena) was studied. The cement dust (2 g/plant) exhibited both inhibitory and promotory effects on different growth parameters of the S. melongena. The decrease in the number of leaves (37.19 and 62.28%), leaf area (57.93 and 57.26%), root length (48.21 and 56.75%), shoot length (27.27 and 38.98%), plant circumference (3...
