Empirical equations for estimating maximum length from length at first maturity (2009, methodology): “Also, we verified data pairs where the Lm ⁄ Lmax ratio fell outside the expected range of about 0.4–0.8 (Beverton and Holt, 1959).”
Natural mortality estimators for information‐limited fisheries (2014, background): “Estimators based on maximum observed ages As numbers-at-age are directly influenced by Z, that rate must control longevity (cf. Beverton and Holt 1959), suggesting that it can be estimated from maximum observed ages.”
Ecological Networks in a Changing Climate (2010, background): “The literature on the effects of temperature on individual-level and species-level physiological rates and life-history parameters is large (e.g. Beverton and Holt, 1959; Clarke and Johnston, 1999; Dunham et al., 1989), and we provide only a cursory overview here.”
Relationships between life‐history strategies of European freshwater fish species and their habitat preferences (2007, methodology): “Species that grow faster, mature earlier, have a longer lifespan and a higher fecundity could be suited to warm habitats that may favour high metabolic rates (Beverton & Holt, 1959).”
Avoiding fishy growth curves (2013, background): “Elasmobranchs, like most fishes, grow continuously and asymptotically throughout their lives and their growth is welldescribed by the von Bertalanffy model (Beverton & Holt 1959; Cailliet et al. 2006).”
Research Priorities to Support Effective Manta and Devil Ray Conservation (2018, background): “The most relevant approaches to mobulid research likely include estimation of natural mortality from maximum age (e.g., Hoenig, 1983) and average age (e.g., Pardo et al., 2016a), or from the von Bertalanffy growth coefficient K (e.g., Beverton and Holt, 1959; Charnov, 1993; Jensen, 1996).”
Length based SPR assessment of eleven Indo-Pacific coral reef fish populations in Palau (2015, background): “Its utility for data-limited assessment has been recommended because of its relative simplicity (Brooks et al., 2010; Walters and Martell, 2004).”
Evaluating the predictive performance of empirical estimators of natural mortality rate using information on over 200 fish species (2015, methodology): “…¼ a + b log(tmax) ls Hoenig (1983) Hoeniggm log(M) ¼ a + b log(tmax) gm Hoenig (1983) Hoenignls M = atbmax nls This study Kb One-parameter K M ¼ aK ls Beverton and Holt (1959), Beverton (1963), Charnov (1993), Jensen (1996) Two-parameter K M ¼ a + bK ls Ralston (1987), Jensen (2001) K, L1,…”
Some explorations of the life history ratios to describe length composition, spawning-per-recruit, and the spawning potential ratio (2015, background): “…been done to document and understand these relationships, often with the aim of providing cost-effective “short-cuts” to estimate the parameters, such as natural mortality, that are difficult or expensive to obtain (Beverton and Holt, 1959; Pauly, 1980; Roff, 1984; Beverton, 1992; Charnov, 1993).”
Evolutionary assembly rules for fish life histories (2013, background): “Following the lead of Beverton and Holt (1959), Charnov (1979), Pauly (1980), Charnov (1993) and others (e.g. Cury and Pauly 2000; Griffiths and Harrod 2007; Andersen et al. 2009) have shown that M near the age of first reproduction (a) shows the across-species rule of M = CÆK, where K is the…”
