Ecological and modelling approach to flood-fish relationships in the Mekong River Basin
Type: Conference Proceedings
In tropical floodplain systems and rivers, how to address the relationships between environmental modification due to development (dams construction, extracting water, etc...) and natural fish production? Environmental ...
How much of the Mekong fish catch is at risk from mainstream dam development?
Type: Journal Article
In the absence of reliable data on the species composition of the catch in the Lower Mekong Basin, the authors look at three approaches to estimate the size of the region’s migratory fish resources.The article, based on ...
Trading-off fish biodiversity, food security, and hydropower in the Mekong River Basin
Type: Journal Article
The Mekong River Basin, site of the biggest inland fishery in the world, is undergoing massive hydropower development. Planned dams will block critical fish migration routes between the river's downstream floodplains and ...
A review of quantified relationships between mangroves and coastal resources
Type: Journal Article
This paper focuses on relationships between mangroves and coastal resources (fish and shrimps). A review of the literature highlights the lack of quantified relationships in this field. This leads to a definition of ...
Stakeholder consultation for Baysian Decision Support systems in environmental management
Type: Conference Proceedings
Environmental management is a field where the number of variables, their interactions and feed-back loops require tools to integrate information, build scenarios and support decision-making. Among the various kinds of ...
Biodiversity of estuarine fish faunas in West Africa
Type: Journal Article
In West Africa (between Ivory Coast and Sénégal), estuarine environments vary from lagoons to high discharge rivers to inverse hypersaline estuaries. This results in a high diversity of estuarine fish species, with an ...
The importance of the fish resource in the Mekong River and examples of best practices
Type: Book Chapter
The Mekong is an exceptional river in many ways. In terms of fish biodiversity, it is the world’s second richest river after the Amazon (www.fishbase. org). With 6 to 18% of the global freshwater fish catch, it is also ...
Fish biodiversity research in the Mekong Basin
Type: Book Chapter
The Mekong River is one of the great rivers of the world and is characterized by high fish biodiversity. A number of organizations are working at observing and protecting aquatic biodiversity in this hotspot of global ...
Hydro-biological models for water management in the Mekong River
Type: Conference Proceedings
Among users of the water resource are fishes and fishermen. Given the importance of fisheries in the Lower Mekong River Basin, water management schemes must take the fish resource into consideration. Therefore hydrological ...
