The data obtained by [a] tag-recapture method are commonly used to evaluate the fish population dynamics and the effect of stock enhancement. However, to ensure the accuracy of the recapture data, it is necessary to choose the appropriate fish size for tagging.... In the first experiment, the effects of T-bar anchor tags on growth, survival and tag retention of... four size groups [of fish] were examined and the size-dependent effects on survival and tag retention were tested. In the second experiment, different mix ratios of tagged fish and untagged fish from two size groups... were set for simulated catching and the catching results were resampled. 1, record 1, English, - tag%2Drecapture%20method

Respirometry chambers are new environments where fishes are constrained in a small volume [of water] and isolated from conspecifics.... It is usually assumed... that fishes are not overly stressed by the confinement involved in respirometry if the chamber is large enough... and that SMR [standard metabolic rate] is obtained after the fish has recovered from chasing and has acclimated to the chamber, several hours into the respirometric experiment. 1, record 2, English, - respirometry%20chamber

"Wild Fish" has been used to describe both native fish species and fish stocks that have established naturally reproducing populations, i.e., populations that don’t rely on artificial stocking programs, whether the population originates from native or introduced fish. The CKFRP [Columbia Kootenay Fisheries Renewal Partnership] Implementation Strategy defines wild fish as indigenous, or native, fish species. 2, record 3, English, - native%20fish

Dans plusieurs pays d'Asie du Sud-Est, les rizières sont davantage utilisées comme pêcheries naturelles que comme champs de pisciculture et on favorise les espèces de poisson autochtone au lieu des espèces cultivées habituellement (comme la carpe, le tilapia ou la silure). 2, record 3, French, - poisson%20autochtone

Aquatic Animal Experiment Facility(AAEF). The AAEF is a sub-rack facility that will accommodate freshwater and saltwater organisms(such as Medaka fish) inside the JEM environment. The facility will be designed to accommodate experiments for up to 90 days, making it possible to conduct research ranging from early development and differentiation to individual responses in the microgravity environment. 2, record 4, English, - aquatic%20animal%20experiment%20facility
