The use of wild-caught juveniles in coastal aquaculture and its application to coral reef fishes
Type: Book Chapter
Worldwide, there are many substantial coastal aquaculture and stock enhancement operations based on collection of wild juveniles. These include: growout of shrimp (Penaeidae), milkfish (Chanos chanos), eels (Anguilla spp.), ...
Population structure and genetic variability of six bar wrasse (Thallasoma hardwick) in Northern South China revealed by mitochondrial control region sequences
Type: Journal Article
The 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 ...
Variable number of tandem repeats in the mitochondrial DNA of Dascyllus trimaculatus
Type: Journal Article
The 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 ...
Restocking, stock enhancement, and sea ranching: arenas of progress
Type: Journal Article
There 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, ...
Grow-out of sandfish Holothuria scabra in ponds shows that co-culture with shrimp Litopenaeus stylirostris is not viable
Type: Journal Article
We 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 ...
Shorter immersion times increase yields of the blacklip pearl oyster, Pinctada margaritifera (Linne.), from spat collectors in Solomon Islands
Type: Journal Article
In 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 ...
Restocking and stock enhancement of coastal fisheries: Potential, problems and progress
Type: Journal Article
The 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 ...
Long-term variability in spat collections of the blacklip oyster (Pinctada margaritifera) in the Solomon Islands
Type: Journal Article
Temporal variation in abundance of spat of the blacklip pearl oyster (Pinctada margaritifera) was determined over an eight-year period at two slles, Gizo and Noro, in the Western Province of Solomon Islands. Spat were ...
Combined culture of Trochus niloticus and giant clams (Tridacnidae): benefits for restocking and farming
Type: Journal Article
The potential benefits of using giant clam farming systems to rear trochus for restocking were investigated in Solomon Islands.
Current status of aquaculture in the Pacific Islands
Type: Conference Paper
Compared with fishing, aquaculture is currently of little commercial significance to the Pacific Islands, with one important exception, black pearl farming, which is virtually confined to eastern Polynesia. Elsewhere in ...
