Population structure and genetic variability of six bar wrasse (Thallasoma hardwick) in Northern South China revealed by mitochondrial control region sequences
Type: Journal Article
The genetic relationships among northern South China Sea populations of the six bar wrasse (<i>Thallasoma hardwicki</i>) were investigated. Fish collected from the Solomon Islands were used for geographic comparison. In ...
Reproductive biology of the commercial sea cucumber Holothuria fuscogilva in the Solomon Islands
Type: Journal Article
Reproduction of Holothuria fuscogilva (Selenka, 1867) in the Solomon Islands was investigated over a 4?yr period (1994 to 1998) by macroscopic and microscopic examination of the gonad tubules, the gonad index (GI) method, ...
Variation in short-term survival of culture sandfish (Holothuria scabra) released in mangrove-seagrass and coral reef flat habitats in Solomon Islands
Type: Journal Article
The specific aims of our study were: (1) to determine whether cultured juvenile H. scabra released near mangrove–seagrass and coral reef flat habitats suffered different levels of predation, and (2) to identify the predators ...
Using impact assessment methods to determine the effects of a marine reserve on abundances and sizes of valuable tropical invertebrates.
Type: Journal Article
Procedures for impact assessment, including "beyond-BACI" (before-after control-impact) and proportional differences (ratios between impact and control treatments) were used to test population replenishment of marine ...
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 ...
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. ...
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 ...
