A new era for restocking, stock enhancement and sea ranching of coastal fisheries resources
(2008)Type: Journal ArticleThe growing number of countries investigating the potential for releasing cultured juveniles to augment coastal fisheries resulted in the First International Symposium on Stock Enhancement and Sea Ranching (ISSESR) in ... -
Diversifying the use of tuna to improve food security and public health in Pacific Island countries and territories
(2015)Type: Journal ArticleThe large tuna resources of the Western and Central Pacific Ocean are delivering great economic benefits to Pacific Island countries and territories (PICTs) through sale of licences to distant water fishing nations and ... -
Inshore fisheries resources of Solomon Islands
(1994)Type: Journal ArticleIn this review, the authors briefly describe the nature and status of the main inshore marine fisheries of Solomon Islands. In virtually all cases, quantitative data on stock sizes are lacking and this article concentrates ... -
Operationalising access to oceanic fisheries resources by small-scale fishers to improve food security in the Pacific Islands
(2017)Type: Journal ArticleMaintaining the level of fish consumption in Pacific Island countries recommended for good nutrition as the populations of coastal communities grow, and as coral reefs are degraded by global warming and ocean acidification, ... -
Optimising the use of nearshore fish aggregating devices for food security in the Pacific Islands
(2015)Type: Journal ArticleIt is widely recognised that anchored, nearshore fish aggregating devices (FADs) are one of the few practical 'vehicles' for increasing access to tuna to help feed the rapidly growing rural and urban populations in many ... -
Reproductive biology of the commercial sea cucumber Holothuria fuscogilva in the Solomon Islands
(2000)Type: Journal ArticleReproduction of Holothuria fuscogilva (Selenka, 1867) in the Solomon Islands was investigated over a 4?yr period (1994 to 1998) by macroscopic and microscopic examination of the gonad tubules, the gonad index (GI) method, ... -
Restoring small-scale fisheries for tropical sea cucumbers
(2008)Type: Journal ArticleOverfishing threatens to extinguish local fisheries for valuable tropical sea cucumbers by reducing population densities to the point where reproductive success trails behind natural mortality (known as depensation or the ... -
Testing the use of a marine protected area to restore and manage invertebrate fisheries at the Arnavon Islands, Solomon Islands: choice of methods and preliminary results
(1997)Type: Conference ProceedingsThis project aims to determine if the number and size of commercially important invertebrates (e.g. trochus, sea cucumbers and giant clams) increases as the result of the declaration of the Arnavon Islands Marine Conservation ... -
Variation in short-term survival of culture sandfish (Holothuria scabra) released in mangrove-seagrass and coral reef flat habitats in Solomon Islands
(2003)Type: Journal ArticleThe specific aims of our study were: (1) to determine whether cultured juvenile H. scabra released near mangrove–seagrass and coral reef flat habitats suffered different levels of predation, and (2) to identify the predators ... -
Variation in short-term survival of cultured sandfish (Holothuria scabra) released in mangrove-seagrass and coral reef flat habitats in Solomon Islands
(2003)Type: Journal ArticleJuvenile cultured sandfish (Holothuria scabra) with a mean size of 35.6 F11.4 S.D. were released on soft substrata near mangrove–seagrass and lagoonal coral reef flat habitats in the Western Province of Solomon Islands. ... -
When should restocking and stock enhancement be used to manage sea cucumber fisheries?
(2004)Type: ReportAccess to technology for producing and releasing juveniles is not a sufficient rationale to proceed with restocking (restoring stocks to the point where they can sustain regular harvests) or stock enhancement (increasing ...
