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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
ICLARM's activities in tropical stock assessment: 1979-1984, and beyond
Type: Journal Article
In March 1977, shortly after ICLARM commenced in Manila, its Program Advisory Committee formulated the guiding principles for the Resource Development and Management Program, which is one of the four program areas of ICLARM ...
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 ...
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.
Low cost light traps for coral reef fishery research and sustainable ornamental fisheries
Type: Journal Article
Two relatively inexpensive light traps to capture pre-settling reef fish and invertebrates are described. A trap made from a plastic bucket (with plastic bottles, a small plastic waste bin and two sheets of plywood) that ...
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.
