The aim of the present study was to characterize the relationships that occur between morphometric variables of larvae of Lophiosilurus alexandri Steindachner, 1876 through their allometric growth analysis. Total length, head length and body height were correlated with standard length, head height and body height, as well as eye diameter and head height with head length. The results revealed allometric positive relation during the initial development, where the b coefficient varied between 1.10 and 2.81. The variable pre-anal distance in relation to the standard length and the snout length in relation to the head length revealed an allometric negative relation, where the b coefficient was 0.85 and 0.94, respectively.

Village Malang Rapat waters are have the potential and habitat of kurisi fish resources (Nemipterus sp.). The research was to determine the length-weight relationship of kurisi fish (Nemipterus sp.) in Village Malang Rapat. Sampling of kurisi fish (Nemipterus sp.) in two months (October-November 2020) is taken once a week based on fishing grounds and habitat. Length-weight relationship of female and male kurisi fish (Nemipterus sp.) were y = 1,1568x2,0659 and y = 1,2123x1,8971 respectively, based on this value show that female and male kurisi fish (Nemipterus sp.) in Village Malang Rapat waters have negative allometric growth patterns (b < 3).

The post-natal growth of the masticatory muscles in the rabbit was examined. By means of anatomical dissection and measurement, total muscle length, muscle fiber length, and muscle weight were determined in animals varying in age between one week and 36 months and exhibiting a 50-fold weight increase. Growth data were fitted by linear regression models with facial skull length used as the independent variable. Many deviations occur from size-dependent isometric growth. The muscles can be divided into three groups, according to their pattern of weight increase: The jaw openers grow negatively allometrically, and their contribution to total muscle weight decreases with time; the temporal muscle grows negatively allometrically but its relative weight proportion remains about the same; the masseter and medial pterygoid muscles have positively allometric growth, and their contribution to total muscle weight increases strongly. Generally, the length of the muscles and of their fibers increases at lower rates than does the length of the facial skull. After weaning, the rate of longitudinal growth drops steeply in some muscles. Total fiber area or physiological cross-section (PCS) of muscles is computed from weight and fiber length. It increases positively allometrically in the jaw closers and negatively allometrically in the jaw openers. In the lateral pterygoid muscle, the increase of PCS changes from negatively- to positively-allometric growth after weaning. The study demonstrates that individual oral muscles follow different patterns of longitudinal and cross-sectional growth, so that their functional capacities (force, range of contraction) and mutual functional relationships are age-dependent.

SUMMARYThe influence of breed and sex on relative growth patterns of muscle, bone and fat in beef cattle has been investigated. Comparisons were made of growth coefficients estimated using Huxley's (1932) allometric equation relating muscle, bone or fat to muscle plus bone using data from the dissection of half carcasses of 63 young bulls, 106 steers and 22 heifers representing a number of breed groups. Growth coefficients for muscle and for bone were found to be similar among different breed groups of bulls, steers and heifers. The proportion of muscle increased and that of bone decreased as the size of animal, measured by muscle plus bone, increased. Muscle and bone weights adjusted to common muscle plus bone weights were significantly different among breed groups within sex. Differences in amount of muscle relative to bone were therefore established at earlier stages of growth and maintained over the period represented in the present study.Growth coefficients for fat were significantly different among breed groups within sexes.Sex within breed group had no statistically significant influence on growth coefficients for muscle or for bone. Muscle and bone weights adjusted to a common muscle plus bone weight were similar for sex groups within all breed group comparisons. Sex did not have a marked effect on rate of fattening since differences between growth coefficients for fat (between sexes, within breeds) were not statistically significant—although in all comparisons growth coefficients for fat were lowest for bulls, intermediate for steers and highest for heifers. Sexes differed in weight of fat adjusted to common muscle plus bone weight, heifers being fatter than steers and steers fatter than bulls, a difference probably resulting more from early onset of the fattening phase in heifers, followed by steers, rather than relative rate of fattening.

A large-volume pump system (2.8 m3 min-1) for sampling fish larvae under open-sea conditions is described. Comparative efficiency trials by day and night showed that the pump was generally as efficient, or in some cases more efficient, in capturing larvae than vertically hauled 200 μm WP2 nets, though there was some evidence of visual avoidance by particular larval size classes during daylight. The pump system is particularly appropriate for investigating fine-scale vertical aggregations (1–10 m3) of larval fish in relation to the distribution of their food organisms.INTRODUCTIONStudies of the distribution of larval fish and their food organisms in relation to physical structure in the water column require sampling techniques capable of resolving fine-scale temporal and spatial distributions. As an alternative to conventional nets, large-volume pumps, sampling at rates in excess of 1 m3 min-1; provide such a capability. Major benefits of using large pumps in addition to temporal and spatial resolution are that a wide range of sizes of plankton including larval fish can be sampled simultaneously in relation to physical and chemical properties of the water column; there is reliable control of the volume of sample filtered and problems of clogging of towed nets are avoided; long series of sequential samples can be taken in studies of small-scale distribution; and instrumentation with in situ CTD and fluorometers at the intake enables real-time control of sampling in relation to physical structure.General engineering considerations for using such pumps have been reviewed in detail by Miller & Judkins (1981), and a particular area of application has been in power-plant entrainment studies in shallow fresh water (Portner & Rhode, 1977; Bowles & Merriner, 1978; Gale & Mohr, 1978; Ney & Schumacher, 1978; Elder et al. 1979; Leithiser, Ehrlich & Thum, 1979; Cada & Loar, 1982).

This study aimed to evaluate the allometric growth of the Araucan pig breed, a creole breed from Arauca, East Colombia, locally known as “Sabaneros”, in relation to different quantitative traits and considering genders separately. To do this, a total of 31 male and 27 female Araucan pigs, ranging from 4 to 48 months of age, were studied in order to evaluate their growth patterns, using a multivariate approach. Animals belonged to different farms (“fincas”) of the Department of Arauca, Colombia. From each individual, 10 quantitative traits were obtained: face width, croup height, croup length, croup width, tail base height, hock height, loin height, cannon length, and length and width of ear. Our results, which must be interpreted as preliminary, showed that the Araucan pig is allometrically monomorphic as sexual differences do not increase with body size. We suggest that although males and females have evidently different reproductive roles, during growth they shift the allocation of energy to structures linked to environmental adaptation rather than those linked to reproduction.
