Use of a fishery independant index to predict recruitment and catches of the spiny lobster
(2004)Type: Journal ArticleThis paper presents a review of recruitment and catch predictions based on an index of abundance of juveniles and pre-recruits (fishery independent index) in the Cuban lobster fisheries. This methodology can provide ... -
When should restocking and stock enhancement be used to manage sea cucumber fisheries?
(2004)Type: ReportAccess to technology for producing and releasing juveniles is not a sufficient rationale to proceed with restocking (restoring stocks to the point where they can sustain regular harvests) or stock enhancement (increasing ... -
