Progress report on the capture and culture of presettlement fish from Solomon Islands
Type: Journal Article
Interest in alternative ways to catch fish (particularly very young fish) for the marine aquarium trade is growing steadily. The WorldFish Center (formerly ICLARM) in Solomon Islands has been investigating the feasibility ...
Coral reef fishing and coral-algal phase shifts: implications for global reef status
Type: Journal Article
Coral reef fisheries support tens of millions of people, mostly in developing countries. Fishing on reefs can be classified into three stages: manageable, ecosystem-overfished, and Malthusian-overfished. Fishing with ...
Characterization and management of the commercial sector of the Pohnpei coral reef fishery, Micronesia
Type: Journal Article
Commercial coral reef fisheries in Pohnpei (Micronesia) extract approximately 1,521 kg of reef fish daily (~500 MT year-1) from 152 km2 of surrounding reef. More than 153 species were represented during surveys, with 25 ...
Length-weight relationship of fishes from coral reefs along the coastline of Jordan (Gulf of Aqaba)
Type: Journal Article
The parameters a and b of the length-weight relationship of the form W = a.Lb were estimated for 15 fish species caught along the coastline of Jordan in the Gulf of Aqaba. The sampling was carried out between July 1999 and ...
Why do fishers fish where they fish? Using the ideal free distribution to understand the behaviour of artisanal reef fishers
Type: Journal Article
We used the theory of the ideal free distribution (IFD) as a framework to understand the mechanisms underlying fishing site selection by Anguillian artisanal fishers exploiting shallow-water coral reefs. Contrary to the ...
Microsatellite loci for studies on population differentiation and connectivity of the red-bellied yellow tail fusilier, Caesio cuning (Caesionidae).
Type: Journal Article
Ten polymorphic microsatellites were isolated from the red-bellied yellow tail fusilier Caesio cuning, a reef-associated fish which occurs widely in the Indo-Pacific region. The species is exploited by both small-scale ...
Low cost light traps for coral reef fishery research and sustainable ornamental fisheries
Type: Journal Article
Two 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 ...
Meso-scale transboundary units for the management of coral reefs in the South China Sea area
Type: Journal Article
Local communities and local government units are recognized as the primary stakeholders and participants in the management of coral reef resources and the primary beneficiaries of small-scale fishing activities in the ...
Spillover of commercially valuable reef fishes from marine protected areas in Guam, Micronesia
Type: Journal Article
Does adult spillover (movement out of marine protected areas [MPAs]) of fish create a net export of fish biomass from MPAs to adjacent fished reefs? Biomass of five commercial reef fish species was estimated by visual ...
Length-weight relationships of coral reef fishes from the Alacran Reef, Yucatan, Mexico
Type: Journal Article
Length-weight relationships were computed for 42 species of coral reef fishes from 14 families from the Alacran Reef (Yucatan, Mexico). A total of 1 892 individuals was used for this purpose. The fish species were caught ...
