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 ...
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 ...
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 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 ...
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.
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 ...
