Assessing the Population Parameters of Decapterus punctatus (Cuvier 1829) from the Coastal Waters of Greater Accra, Ghana using TropFishR
Abstract
Section titled “Abstract”Paper summary generated by OpenAI: This study investigates the population parameters of Decapterus punctatus, a species of fish significant for both ecological balance and fisheries. Utilizing a combination of field sampling and statistical modeling, the research assesses key metrics such as growth rates, mortality, and recruitment patterns. The findings reveal critical insights into the population dynamics of D. punctatus, highlighting the implications for sustainable management practices. This work contributes to the understanding of fish population biology and provides a framework for future studies in marine resource management.
