A bibliography of the giant clams (Bivalvia: Tridacnidae)
Type: Book
In compiling this bibliography the authors have attempted to draw together all scientific papers and reports published to date which deal specif cal ly with aspects of the biology, ecology, exploitation and cultivation of ...
Prospects for the commercial cultivation of giant clams (Bivalvia: Tridacnidae)
Type: Conference Paper
The status of tridacnid clam resources in the Indo-Pacific region and studies of their basic biology and ecology, including life histories, growth rates and phototrophic capabilities, spawning induction and larval and ...
The status of stocks of groupers and hinds in the Northeaster Caribbean
Type: Book Chapter
A survey was made of the status of stocks of groupers and hinds (Family Serranidae) in the northeastern Caribbean, principally in January and February 2003, coinciding with the principal spawning season of most species. ...
A cost-effective data acquisition system for assessment and management of tropical multispecies, multi-gear fisheries
Type: Journal Article
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 ...
Use of light-attracted zooplankton for rearing post-settlement coral reef fish
Type: Book Chapter
Settlement stage Lutjanus synagris and Ocyurus were caught in light traps set off fore reefs in the British Virgin Islands and raised in floating mesh cages tethered in water 1-2 m deep. Lights were designed to attract ...
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.
Assessment and management of coral reef fisheries: biological, environmental and socio-economic aspects
Type: Book Chapter
The authors opened discussion by briefly summarising the main points in their paper. Coral reefs occurred predominantly in developing countries and coral reef fisheries were predominantly artesanal. Fishery yields varied ...
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 ...
Management strategies for multi-species complexes in artisanal fisheries
Type: Book Chapter
Artisanal fisheries are extremely diverse when considered on a worldwide basis, although less so within particular countries. As a general case, artisanal fisheries are those in which fishermen operate from vessels of ...
Appraisal, assessment and monitoring of small-scale coastal fisheries in the South Pacific region
Type: Book Chapter
All fisheries should, ideally, pass through a four stage process of appraisal, assessment, management and monitoring. Fisheries assessment methods are reviewed, as are methods for parameter estimation. A cost effective ...
