An analysis was made of length frequency data for the spiny lobsters, Panulirus penicillatus and P. longipes, caught coral reefs in Tonga. The length data were used to estimate both growth and mortality parameters for ...
Predicting self-recruitment in marine populations: biophysical correlates and mechanisms
Type: Journal Article
Mounting evidence suggests that some populations of benthic marine organisms may be less demographically ‘open’ than previously thought. The degree to which a population receives recruits from local sources versus other ...
Artificial reefs in the Philippines
Type: Conference Proceedings
This workshop and the resulting proceedings came into being as a result of cumulative concerns by aid agencies, nongovernmental organizations and by government authorities and researchers on the mass installation of artificial ...
Management of coastal fishery resources

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 ...
Training in tropical fisheries science
Type: Journal Article
The educational requirements for fish¬eries scientists are well established: a good grounding in the basic sciences—mathe¬matics, physics, chemistry and biology, and an awareness of the environmental sciences, development ...
The management of coral reef resource systems
Type: Conference Proceedings
This volume reports the proceedings of a scientific meeting to identify ways in which international collaborative efforts in coral reef research and management can be coordinated of greatest effect. A secondary objective ...
Settlement, movement and early juvenile mortality of the yellowtail snapper Ocyurus chrysurus
Type: Journal Article
The yellowtail snapper Ocyurus chrysurus is one of the most important and heavily targeted reef fishery species in the Caribbean. In this study, we investigate the first month of post-settlement life in shallow seagrass ...
Artificial Reef Project, Thailand
Type: Report
A review of the fishery in the Gulf of Thailand is presented which notes that the current level of trawling effort is excessive and suggests that a substantially lower trawling effort would probably improve the total ...
