Some Aspects Of The Biology And Population Dynamics Of Goatfish, Upeneus Spp. In Terengganu Waters, Peninsular Malaysia

Two species of goatfish or Biji nangka, Upeneus sulphureus and U . bensasi play a significant role in the demersal trawl fishery in the Terengganu waters. Estimation of their population parameters, i.e., growth, reproductive behaviour, mortality rate, and assessment of the effect of changes in...
