Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Quantifying the potential effects of climate change on juvenile salmonid body length at a large spatiotemporal scale is challenging given the multitude of biological processes and methodological constraints. In the present work, we analysed potential changes in size‐at‐age of juvenile Atlantic salmon cohorts over the past 50 years in the ...

What Makes Complex Systems Complex? [PDF]
, 2018 This paper explores some of the factors that make complex systems complex. We first examine the history of complex systems. It was Aristotle’s insight that how elements are joined together helps determine the properties of the resulting whole. We find (a)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Knowledge on the ecology and life‐history traits of coastal marine species is vital to inform their conservation and management, especially as their coastal habitats come under increasing threats. However, such data have never been collated for four of the five families in the suborder Syngnathoidei—the close relatives of the better‐studied ...

Improving spine‐based age estimation in centrarchid fishes using otolith‐derived training sets
Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Nonlethal age determination is a priority in fish biology contexts where sacrifice is restricted, but estimates derived from nonlethally attainable structures tend to suffer from poor precision and accuracy relative to necessarily lethal, otolith‐derived estimates.

On boundaries and disciplines: constructing a set of key systems thinkers [PDF]
, 2006 Over the past four years, the Open University has been working on an internal project of systems scholarship, called 'Systems Thinkers'. We have examined the life and work of fifty key thinkers, held discussions on their significance, and are in the ...

Die Allgemeine Systemtheorie bei Ludwig von Bertalanffy [PDF]
, 2015 Die Wissenschaftsauffassung von Bertalanffy erwächst aus der Kontroverse zwischen mechanistischen und vitalistischen Positionen in der Biologie. Der reduktionistischen Position steht ein metaphysischer Ganzheitsansatz gegenüber. Bertalanffy, sowohl fasziniert von den Verfahren objektiver Wissenschaft als auch überzeugt von der Notwendigkeit eines ...

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Effective fishery management policy depends on accurate life‐history data, particularly for harvested species. Longevity is a core life‐history trait that is directly related to annual survival and lifetime reproductive potential, but fish longevity is generally not well documented, particularly for long‐lived species.

Biology and assessment of the painted sweetlips (Diagramma pictum (Thunberg, 1792)) and the spangled emperor (Lethrinus nebulosus (Forsskål, 1775)) in the southern Arabian Gulf [PDF]
, 2006 The population biology and status of the painted sweeplips (Diagramma pictum) and spangled emperor (Lethrinus nebulosus) in the southern Arabian Gulf were established by using a combination of size-frequency, biological, and size-at-age data.

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study evaluated the combined effects of sex inversion and microencapsulated supplementation with organic acids and essential oils on growth performance, tissue morphology, gene expression, and oxidative status in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) larvae.
