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 ...
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 ...
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.
Assessment and management of coral reef fisheries: biological, environmental and socio-economic aspects
Type: Book Chapter
The 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 ...
Management strategies for multi-species complexes in artisanal fisheries
Type: Book Chapter
Artisanal 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 ...
Appraisal, assessment and monitoring of small-scale coastal fisheries in the South Pacific region
Type: Book Chapter
All 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 ...
Some advances and developments in coral reef fisheries research: 1973-1982
Type: Book Chapter
The 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 ...
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 ...
Yields from coral reef fisheries
Type: Journal Article
An examination is made of the fish production potential of coral reef areas and techniques used to estimate possibleyields.
