Algunos factores físicos asociados con la captura de peces en Punta Morales, Golfo de Nicoya
(UNICIENCIA, 1984-07-01)Como secuela del estudio de la comunidad de peces del litoral, se analizaron las 11 especies más abundantes mediante una regresión múltiple escalonada de la abundancia de captura frente a la temperatura, la salinidad, el ... -
A dynamic simulation model for the blooming of Oscillatoria agardhii in a monomictic lake
(Elsevier, 1995-01-15)The occurrence of phytoplankton blooms is a common problem in water bodies. The quantitative description of the algal population growth is of primary importance to understand the mechanisms which lead to these phytoplankton ... -
Efecto de la fitasa en el aprovechamiento del fósforo en dietas para tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Resultados preliminares.
(UNICIENCIA, 2001-06-01)Con el fin de evaluar si mediante la adición de la enzima fitasa se puede aumentar la cantidad de fósforo (P) disponible en dietas comerciales de tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) y con ello reducir su excreción al medio, ... -
Organic matter sedimentation and resuspension in tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) ponds during a production cycle
(2002-07-01)The rates of sedimentation and resuspension of organic carbon and total nitrogen were measured in earthen fishponds, based on nutrient input, water quality parameters and fish size and biomass. Material collected in ... -
Conceptualization and validation of a dynamic model for the simulation of nitrogen transformations and fluxes in fish ponds
(Elsevier, 2002-11-01)Nitrogen is a key element in aquatic environments and an important pond management variable. In aquaculture systems, nitrogen accumulation eventually leads to a deterioration of the system. The interactions between various ... -
