Results of a random stratified bottom trawl survey for scad and mackerel stocks in Mozambican waters: small pelagic fish December-January 1985

The results obtained during the third phase of Nauka are reported concerning the standing stock estimates, population length structure and gonad development of scad and mackerel stocks and the catch composition in Mozambican waters.

Analysis of fish catch data from 1985 to 1994 in the Kenyan inshore marine waters

Fish landing data collected by the Kenyan Fisheries Department from the nearshort coastal marine waters from 1985 to 1994 were statistically analyzed to determine trends in the traditional fisher's catch. Over the ten year period a significant decline occurred for total catch and for catches of seven commercially important fish families: Lethrinidae, Siganidae. Lutjanidae, Scaridae, Carangidae, Scombridae and Mullidae. 1994 registercd the lowest catch over ten years. The total catch for all the fish declined from a mean annual catch of 6150 metric tonnes in the 1980's to a mean of 5141 metric tonnes in the 1990's with the catch for 1986 being 2 times higher than that of 1994. Although Mombasa district had the highest mean annual landing, its total landings like that of Lamu and Kwale districts decreased over the years. However, Kilifi district showed a steady increase in catches over the years. The changes in fish landings is thought to be caused by lack of appropriate fishing regulations, leading to overfishing of the lagoonal reefs beyond their maximum sustainable yields.

Dynamically Stable Legged Locomotion (September 1985-Septembers1989)

This report documents our work in exploring active balance for dynamic legged systems for the period from September 1985 through September 1989. The purpose of this research is to build a foundation of knowledge that can lead both to the construction of useful legged vehicles and to a better understanding of animal locomotion. In this report we focus on the control of biped locomotion, the use of terrain footholds, running at high speed, biped gymnastics, symmetry in running, and the mechanical design of articulated legs.

Melhoramento genetico do guaranazeiro resultados de ensaios de avaliacao de clones fase produtiva 1985 a 1994.

O objetivo e discriminar os clones quanto a produtividade e ao numero de colheitas baseado nos resultados referentes aos ensaios avancados, ou seja, aqueles que antecedem a recomendacao dos materiais, no periodo de 1985 a 1994. Para isso, foram realizadas analises de variancia individuais, para cada experimento, e uma analise de variancia conjuntas, para cada experimento, e uma analise combinada, envolvendo todos os clones, experimentos e anos.
