The book describes an intensive four-year program of monitoring the community ecology and harvest patterns of a large fringing coral reef system in northeastern Philippines. Reef harvest methods included principally ...
Projections of supply and demand for the trade in live reef-fish for food
Type: Conference Paper
This study adopted an extended version of the AsiaFish model to quantify future changes in supply and demand for live reef-fish as food arising from new technology, management practices and economic growth. It simulated ...
Coastal Aquaculture Centre
Type: Book
ICLARM established the Coastal Aquaculture Centre (CAC) to redress this problem by developing ways to enhance the productivity of coral reefs, and by transferring the technologies to communities living on coralline coasts ...
The use of wild-caught juveniles in coastal aquaculture and its application to coral reef fishes
Type: Book Chapter
Worldwide, 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.), ...
Fisheries management: what chance on coral reefs?
Type: Journal Article
Failures of fishery management to control fishing effort globally and how this affects the coral reef fisheries are discussed. The use of marine reserves in coral reef fisheries management is also emphasized.
Length-weight relationship of fishes from coral reefs and lagoons of New Caledonia: an update
Type: Journal Article
Length-weight relationships of 316 reef and lagoon fish from New Caledonia (SW Pacific Ocean) belonging to 68 families are computed. A total of 43,750 individuals was used for this purpose. Fish were sampled by different ...
Availability of wild spat of the blacklip pearl oyster, Pinctada margaritifera, from 'open' reef systems in Solomon Islands
Type: Journal Article
In this paper, we report results from a 2-year sampling program to assess spatial and temporal variation in abundances of spat in Solomon Islands. In particular, we focus on the apparent characteristics of good sites for ...
The scope of tropical reef fisheries and their management
Type: Book Chapter
Coral reef resource systems extend throughout the tropics and are exploited primarily by subsistence fishers, supplying food for millions of people. The magnitude of harvests per unit area taken from coralline shelves ...
Progress report on the capture and culture of presettlement fish from Solomon Islands
Type: Journal Article
Interest in alternative ways to catch fish (particularly very young fish) for the marine aquarium trade is growing steadily. The WorldFish Center (formerly ICLARM) in Solomon Islands has been investigating the feasibility ...
The capture and culture of postlarval coral reef fish: potential for new artisanal fisheries
Type: Journal Article
This 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 ...
