On the interrelationships between natural mortality, growth parameters, and mean environmental temperature in 175 fish stocks

Daniel Pauly · 1 Dec 1980

A compilation of values for the exponential coefficient of natural mortality (M) is given for 175 different stocks of fish distributed in 84 species, both freshwater and marine, and ranging from polar to tropical waters. Values of L∞(LT, cm), W∞(g, fresh weight), K (1/year) and T (°C, mean annual water temperature) were attributed to each…
