Potential yield of South Asian small reservoir fisheries
Lack of assessment methodology for culture-based fisheries has been identified as a major problem in the development of fisheries. The optimal stocking density, size at harvesting and fishing mortality are interrelated. Over-fishing is equivalent to under-stocking, and overstocking is equivalent to under-fishing. This model of quantitative population dynamics for culture-based...
