The present study depicts the first comprehensive description on population structure, growth pattern (length-weight relationships, LWRs and length-length LLRs), condition factor (allometric, KA; Fultonʹs, KF; relative, KR relative weight, WR), maturity (size at sexual maturity; Lm), form (a3.0) natural mortality (Mw) of Trichogaster fasciata (Bloch Schneider, 1801)in Ganges River, Northwestern...

Life history shifts in daphnids in response to fish infochemicals are generally interpreted as an adaptive response to positive size-selective predation. This interpretation does, however, not hold for larval and small juvenile planktivorous fish, which due to gape limitation, feed on small and medium sized prey. In a life table experiment we show that daphnids exposed to infochemicals excreted...

Due to its indeterminate growth habit, maturation of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is affected by many environmental and cultural factors. An easy and reliable measure of its progression toward maturity that can be attained during crop development is needed for both production and research programs. As a cotton plant develops, first-position flowers progress toward the plant apex, and their re...
