This may be due to the lower heritability of these traits, which suggests there is less genetic variation for fish proportions than for overall size.
Our analysis revealed that, in teleost fishes, proportions of species-specific genes were not clearly different among different receptor families (Table 1), although slight differences were suggested.
The food components were parted into terrestrial plants, plant debris, phytoplankton, benthic algae, zooplankton, shrimp, mollusk, and fish, and the proportion in bulk diet and their stable isotope values were measured for each of them (Table 2).
Although VAB is usually absent in surface fish, a small proportion of those raised in the laboratory can show a weak form of VAB.
Inshore fishing mortality rates by the Naknek-Kvichak and Nushagak fishing districts were calculated as the proportion of fish caught (u) per year (y), by 10 mm length bins (l), as in Kendall et al.
The quantities of deposited guanine in some fishes vary in proportion to the relative lightness in colour of the background upon which they are living.
The diet of the macaroni penguin consists of a variety of crustaceans, squid and fish, although the proportions that each makes up vary with locality and season.
We [ 4] have previously shown that East African freshwater fish contain high proportions of both DHA and AA and relatively low EPA as compared to European saltwater fish.
A study of heavy fatty-fish consumers and nonconsumers in Sweden (Svensson et al. 1994) found reduced levels of NK cells in the peripheral blood of fatty-fish consumers and a significant negative correlation between weekly fish intake and proportions of NK cells.
This management option aligns with traditional fisheries management: a large proportion of fish stocks are over-fished, and by definition, could support larger catches if allowed to rebuild (FAO 2009).
