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 ...
Restocking, stock enhancement, and sea ranching: arenas of progress
Type: Journal Article
There are concerns about the sustainability of the world’s capture fisheries at the current total level of ~96 million tons per year. The warning signals are an increase in the proportion of depleted or recovering stocks, ...
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 ...
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 ...
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.
A new era for restocking, stock enhancement and sea ranching of coastal fisheries resources
Type: Journal Article
The growing number of countries investigating the potential for releasing cultured juveniles to augment coastal fisheries resulted in the First International Symposium on Stock Enhancement and Sea Ranching (ISSESR) in ...
