Growth and mortality rates and state of exploitation of spiny lobsters in Tonga (1992)
Type: Conference Paper
An 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 ...
Management of coastal fishery resources
Type: Book Chapter
The 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.
The scope of tropical reef fisheries and their management
Type: Book Chapter
Coral 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 ...
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 ...
Settlement, movement and early juvenile mortality of the yellowtail snapper Ocyurus chrysurus
Type: Journal Article
The 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 ...
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 ...
The status of stocks of groupers and hinds in the Northeaster Caribbean
Type: Book Chapter
A 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. ...
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 ...
Use of light-attracted zooplankton for rearing post-settlement coral reef fish
Type: Book Chapter
Settlement 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 ...
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.
