Assessment, management and future directions for coastal fisheries in Asian countries
Type: Conference Proceedings
In Asia, the fisheries sector is important in terms of food security, livelihoods and foreign exchange earnings. However, as in many parts of the world, there are signs that capture fisheries are fully exploited or overfished. ...
A trophic model of the coastal fisheries ecosystem off the west coast of Sabah and Sarawak, Malaysia
Type: Book Chapter
A mass-balance steady-state trophic model of the coastal fisheries ecosystem off the West Coasts of Sabah and Sarawak, Malaysia (10 - 60 m depth) was constructed using the Ecopath software. The ecosystem models were ...
Socioeconomic and bioeconomic analysis of coastal resources in central and northern Java, Indonesia
Type: Book Chapter
Indonesia’s fisheries exports rose from 2 206 t in 1970 to 598 385 t in 1996 with a subsequent export value rise from US$0.69 billion to US$1.78 billion. The surplus in the balance of trade (BOT) was US$1.59 billion in ...
Analysis of demersal fish assemblages in selected Philippine fishing grounds
Type: Book Chapter
This paper presents the results of analyses of demersal fish assemblages in various fishing grounds in the Philippines. Data from exploratory trawl surveys conducted in 1947 - 49 show that the 24 fishing grounds covered ...
Trophic model of the coastal fisheries ecosystem of the west coast of peninsular Malaysia
Type: Book Chapter
A preliminary mass-balance trophic model was constructed for the coastal fisheries ecosystem of the West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia (0 - 120 m depth). The ecosystem was partitioned into 15 trophic groups, and biomasses ...
Preliminary analysis of demersal fish assemblages in coastal waters of the Gulf of Thailand
Type: Book Chapter
The 1995 trawl data of the research vessels Pramong 2 and 9 in the Gulf of Thailand were analyzed using TWINSPAN and DCA. Four main station clusters were identified related to geographic location and depth. Two clusters ...
Preliminary analysis of demersal fish assemblages in Malaysian waters
Type: Book Chapter
Spatial and temporal variations of the demersal fisheries resources of Malaysia were studied using multivariate analysis of their abundance (biomass) from research trawl surveys in relation to geographical and environmental ...
Marine fisheries resources of the north coast of Central Java, Indonesia
Type: Book Chapter
A trophic model of the marine fisheries resources of the north coast of Central Java, Indonesia was constructed using the Ecopath with Ecosim software and data from a trawl survey conducted in the area in 1979. The model ...
Trophic model of the coastal ecosystem in the waters of Bangladesh, Bay of Bangal
Type: Book Chapter
A trophic model of the coastal ecosystem in the waters of Bangladesh, Bay of Bengal (from the shoreline to 150 m depth) is presented. The model consists of 15 ecological groups. The biomasses of the groups (particularly ...
A preliminary analysis on the socioeconomic situation of coastal fishing communities in Vietnam
Type: Book Chapter
Fish production in Vietnam increased rapidly from 420 000 t in 1981 to 1 130 680 t in 1998. Likewise, there was an expansion in the number of motorized fishing boats from 29 584 units with an average horsepower (HP) of ...
