Climate change and pacific island food systems
(2016)Type: BookClimate change in Pacific Island countries and territories (PICTs) is projected to have significant impacts, including rising sea-levels, more violent tropical cyclones and droughts. Fish stocks in the tropical regions of ... -
Climate change, tropical fisheries and prospects for sustainable development
Type: Journal ArticleTropical fisheries substantially contribute to the well-being of societies in both the tropics and the extratropics, the latter through ‘telecoupling’ — linkages between distant human–natural systems. Tropical marine ... -
Current status of aquaculture in the Pacific Islands
(2001)Type: Conference PaperCompared with fishing, aquaculture is currently of little commercial significance to the Pacific Islands, with one important exception, black pearl farming, which is virtually confined to eastern Polynesia. Elsewhere in ... -
Long-term variability in spat collections of the blacklip oyster (Pinctada margaritifera) in the Solomon Islands
(2006)Type: Journal ArticleTemporal variation in abundance of spat of the blacklip pearl oyster (Pinctada margaritifera) was determined over an eight-year period at two slles, Gizo and Noro, in the Western Province of Solomon Islands. Spat were ... -
Low abundances and diversities of benthic faunas of shallow, coastal sediments in the Solomon Islands and their implications for assessing environmental impacts of logging
(2003)Type: Journal ArticleThe diversity and abundance of benthic organisms were examined in relation to logging impacts in Western Province, Solomon Islands. Organisms occupying sediments offshore from the mouths of logged and unlogged streams in ... -
Management of restocking and stock enhancement programs: the need for different approaches
(2004)Type: BookAvailability of technology for producing and releasing juveniles in the wild is not all that is required to proceed with programs for restocking (restoring stocks to the point where they can sustain regular harvests) and ... -
Meso-scale transboundary units for the management of coral reefs in the South China Sea area
(2002)Type: Journal ArticleLocal communities and local government units are recognized as the primary stakeholders and participants in the management of coral reef resources and the primary beneficiaries of small-scale fishing activities in the ... -

The capture and culture of postlarval coral reef fish: potential for new artisanal fisheries
(1999)Type: Journal ArticleThis article summarises the reasons why the removal of postlarval coral reef fish should be sustainable and identify those conditions that may require restrictions to fishing for postlarvae. The authors also outline why ... -
The potential role of restocking and stock enhancement in the management of marine invertebrate fisheries in the Philippines
(2004)Type: Book ChapterThroughout Southeast Asia, capture fisheries are no longer yielding their potential harvests - in many cases, the abundance of valuable species has been reduced to 10% of previous levels (Silvestre ef al., in press). The ... -
The use of wild-caught juveniles in coastal aquaculture and its application to coral reef fishes
(2002)Type: Book ChapterWorldwide, there are many substantial coastal aquaculture and stock enhancement operations based on collection of wild juveniles. These include: growout of shrimp (Penaeidae), milkfish (Chanos chanos), eels (Anguilla spp.), ... -
When can marine reserves improve fisheries management?
(2004)Type: Journal ArticleMarine reserves are a promising tool for fisheries management and conservation of biodiversity, but they are not a panacea for fisheries management problems. For fisheries that target highly mobile single species with ...
