Fig. 7 in Population dynamics of Prochilodus nigricans (Characiformes: Prochilodontidae) in the Putumayo River

Fig. 7. Standard length-converted catch curves (SL) and mortality estimates for Prochilodus nigricans females (a), males (b) and all individuals (sexed and unsexed) combined (c) calculated from the von Bertalanffy growth function parameters at a mean temperature of 27°C. Z, M and F represent the instantaneous rates of total, natural and fishing mortality, respectively. E is the exploitation rate (E = F.Z-1). Black dots = data points in the curve on which the regression was fitted.
