Rational management of fisheries in order to optimize harvests requires a constant input of data on the state of the Fish stocks, and in particular, of their mortality rates. Such data are usually obtained by laborious ...
Coral reef fisheries and world fish production
Type: Journal Article
The potential productivity of coral reefs is discussed, considering problems involved in the different types of the reefsituations. The overall result is that coral reef fish on a world-wide basis are under-exploited.
Estimation of natural mortality rates from selectivity and catch length-frequency data
Type: Journal Article
In conventional catch curves, the logarithms of the relative abundances of successive age groups are plotted against age, in order to obtain an estimate of the total instantaneous mortality rate, Z, from the slope of the ...
Giant clams: food for the future?
Type: Journal Article
Mariculture possibilities of giant clams are discussed in detail, considering current production and consumption rates.
Yields from coral reef fisheries
Type: Journal Article
An examination is made of the fish production potential of coral reef areas and techniques used to estimate possibleyields.
