Grow-out of sandfish Holothuria scabra in ponds shows that co-culture with shrimp Litopenaeus stylirostris is not viable
Type: Journal Article
We examined the potential for producing the large numbers of sandfish (Holothuria scabra) needed for restocking programmes by co-culturing juveniles with the shrimp Litopenaeus stylirostris in earthen ponds. Our experiments ...
Restoring small-scale fisheries for tropical sea cucumbers
Type: Journal Article
Overfishing threatens to extinguish local fisheries for valuable tropical sea cucumbers by reducing population densities to the point where reproductive success trails behind natural mortality (known as depensation or the ...
Shorter immersion times increase yields of the blacklip pearl oyster, Pinctada margaritifera (Linne.), from spat collectors in Solomon Islands
Type: Journal Article
In Solomon Islands, "spat" (juveniles) of the blacklip pearl oyster, Pinctada margaritifera, suffer high levels of mortality while on collectors, presumably due to predation by ranellid gastropods, xanthid and portunid ...
Low abundances and diversities of benthic faunas of shallow, coastal sediments in the Solomon Islands and their implications for assessing environmental impacts of logging
Type: Journal Article
The 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 ...
Restocking and stock enhancement of coastal fisheries: Potential, problems and progress
Type: Journal Article
The demand for fish is expected to rise substantially by 2020. Although aquaculture must provide much of the additional fish, it remains to be seen whether restored or enhanced capture fisheries can also help fill the ...
Long-term variability in spat collections of the blacklip oyster (Pinctada margaritifera) in the Solomon Islands
Type: Journal Article
Temporal 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 ...
Combined culture of Trochus niloticus and giant clams (Tridacnidae): benefits for restocking and farming
Type: Journal Article
The potential benefits of using giant clam farming systems to rear trochus for restocking were investigated in Solomon Islands.
Variation in short-term survival of cultured sandfish (Holothuria scabra) released in mangrove-seagrass and coral reef flat habitats in Solomon Islands
Type: Journal Article
Juvenile cultured sandfish (Holothuria scabra) with a mean size of 35.6 F11.4 S.D. were released on soft substrata near mangrove–seagrass and lagoonal coral reef flat habitats in the Western Province of Solomon Islands. ...
Spawning and early larval rearing of Holothuria atra
Type: Journal Article
The Coastal Aquaculture Centre (CAC) of the International Center for Living Aquatic Resources Management (ICLARM) in Solomon Islands has started to assess the potential of enhancing populations of sea cucumbers associated ...
Production and grow-out of the black-lip pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifera
Type: Journal Article
Black-lip pearl oysters (Pinctada margaritifera) are widespread throughout the Indo-Pacific region, where they have traditionally been used for food, ornaments, jewellery, tools and fish hooks. However, the major benefits ...
