A cost-effective data acquisition system for assessment and management of tropical multispecies, multi-gear fisheries
(1983)Type: Journal ArticleRational 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 ... -
Appraisal, assessment and monitoring of small-scale coastal fisheries in the South Pacific region
(1993)Type: Book ChapterAll fisheries should, ideally, pass through a four stage process of appraisal, assessment, management and monitoring. Fisheries assessment methods are reviewed, as are methods for parameter estimation. A cost effective ... -
Assessment and management of coral reef fisheries: biological, environmental and socio-economic aspects
(1985)Type: Book ChapterThe 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 ... -
Biology, fisheries and culture of tropical groupers and snappers
(1996)Type: Conference ProceedingsGroupers and snappers are important fishery resources of the tropics and subtropics, where their high values have caused most of their stocks to be heavily exploited, some even to the point of collapse. Trends towards heavy ... -
Coral reef fisheries and world fish production
(1984)Type: Journal ArticleThe 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. -

Growth and mortality rates and state of exploitation of spiny lobsters in Tonga (1992)
(1992)Type: Conference PaperAn analysis was made of length frequency data for the spiny lobsters, Panulirus penicillatus and P. longipes, caught coral reefs in Tonga. The length data were used to estimate both growth and mortality parameters for ... -
ICLARM's activities in tropical stock assessment: 1979-1984, and beyond
(1984)Type: Journal ArticleIn 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 ... -
Low cost light traps for coral reef fishery research and sustainable ornamental fisheries
(2002)Type: Journal ArticleTwo 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 ... -
Management of coastal fishery resources
(1993)Type: Book ChapterThe range of methods available for managing small scale coastal fisheries are reviewed and discussed. It is concluded that only community based limited entry systems will prevent over harvesting in most fisheries. -
Management strategies for multi-species complexes in artisanal fisheries
(1984)Type: Book ChapterArtisanal 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 ... -
Outmigration and movement of tagged coral reef fish in a marine fishery reserve in Jamaica
(1998)Type: Book ChapterBetween December, 1996 and May, 1998, a total of 6,947 coral reef fish were marked and released within the Discovery Bay Fishery Reserve, on the north coast of Jamaica. Nearly 6,000 recaptures have been obtained (including ... -
Settlement, movement and early juvenile mortality of the yellowtail snapper Ocyurus chrysurus
(2002)Type: Journal ArticleThe 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 ... -
Some advances and developments in coral reef fisheries research: 1973-1982
(1983)Type: Book ChapterThe objective of this paper is to identify and discuss areas in which significant progress has been made in the last 10 years towards an understanding of the fundamental processes governing the productivity of coral reef ... -
The scope of tropical reef fisheries and their management
(1996)Type: Book ChapterCoral reef resource systems extend throughout the tropics and are exploited primarily by subsistence fishers, supplying food for millions of people. The magnitude of harvests per unit area taken from coralline shelves ... -
The status of stocks of groupers and hinds in the Northeaster Caribbean
(2005)Type: Book ChapterA survey was made of the status of stocks of groupers and hinds (Family Serranidae) in the northeastern Caribbean, principally in January and February 2003, coinciding with the principal spawning season of most species. ... -
Training in tropical fisheries science
(1982)Type: Journal ArticleThe 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 ... -
Use of light-attracted zooplankton for rearing post-settlement coral reef fish
(1999)Type: Book ChapterSettlement stage Lutjanus synagris and Ocyurus were caught in light traps set off fore reefs in the British Virgin Islands and raised in floating mesh cages tethered in water 1-2 m deep. Lights were designed to attract ... -
Yields from coral reef fisheries
(1984)Type: Journal ArticleAn examination is made of the fish production potential of coral reef areas and techniques used to estimate possibleyields.
