Assessing the potential for restocking, habitat enhancement, fish sanctuaries and aquaculture to restore the chambo production in Malawi
(2005)Type: Conference PaperThe chambo fisheries in the South East arm of Lake Malawi have been severely exploited and depleted due to overfishing habitat degradation and use of illegal gears. The government of Malawi is determined to reverse the ... -
Combined culture of Trochus niloticus and giant clams (Tridacnidae): benefits for restocking and farming
(2003)Type: Journal ArticleThe potential benefits of using giant clam farming systems to rear trochus for restocking were investigated in Solomon Islands. -
Grow-out of sandfish Holothuria scabra in ponds shows that co-culture with shrimp Litopenaeus stylirostris is not viable
(2007)Type: Journal ArticleWe 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 ... -
Growth of juvenile Actinopyga mauritiana (Holothuroidea) in captivity
(1997)Type: Journal ArticleIn this study, we examined the growth of juvenile Actinopyga mauritiana in captivity at three levels of stocking biomass, and under two feeding regimes, for 12 months. We chose this species because of its availability on ... -
Population structure and genetic variability of six bar wrasse (Thallasoma hardwick) in Northern South China revealed by mitochondrial control region sequences
(2004)Type: Journal ArticleThe genetic relationships among northern South China Sea populations of the six bar wrasse (<i>Thallasoma hardwicki</i>) were investigated. Fish collected from the Solomon Islands were used for geographic comparison. In ... -
Reducing the costs of restocking giant clams in Solomon Islands
(1999)Type: Journal ArticleOn many corals reefs in the Indo-Pacific, the larger species of giant clams (Tridacnidae) have either been eliminated or fished down to the point where the external fertilization of gametes is improbable. In the mid 1980s, ... -
Restocking and stock enhancement of coastal fisheries: Potential, problems and progress
(2006)Type: Journal ArticleThe 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 ... -
Restocking, stock enhancement, and sea ranching: arenas of progress
(2008)Type: Journal ArticleThere 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, ... -
Shorter immersion times increase yields of the blacklip pearl oyster, Pinctada margaritifera (Linne.), from spat collectors in Solomon Islands
(2000)Type: Journal ArticleIn Solomon Islands, "spat" (juveniles) of the blacklip pearl oyster, Pinctada margaritifera, suffer high levels of mortality while on collectors, presumably due to predation by ranellid gastropods, xanthid and portunid ... -
Strategic review of enhancements and culture-based fisheries
(2001)Type: Conference PaperEnhancements are interventions in the life cycle of common-pool aquatic resources. Enhancement technologies include culture-based fisheries, habitat modifications, fertilization, feeding and elimination of predat ... -
Variable number of tandem repeats in the mitochondrial DNA of Dascyllus trimaculatus
(2004)Type: Journal ArticleThe primary structure of the Dascyllus trimaculatus mitochondrial (mt) control region was determined, and conserved features were identified based on sequence comparisons to other teleostean fish species. Three ... -
Village-based farming of the giant clam, Tridacna gigas (L.), for the aquarium market: initial trials in Solomon Islands
(1997)Type: Journal ArticleBetween 1989 and 1992, small-scale grow-out trials of cultured Tridacna gigas (L.) were established at 40 coastal villages in Solomon Islands. The juvenile giant clams were delivered to village participants at a mean size ...
