متن کاملOculina Banks: Habitat, Fish Populations, Restoration, and Enforcement
The shelf-edge Oculina coral reef ecosystem, known only from off the central east coast of Florida, is unique among coral reefs and exists nowhere else on earth. The azooxanthellate (i.e., lack symbiotic algae) branching coral typically produces 1 – 2 meter diameter coral heads which often coalesce into thicket-like habitats with exceedingly high biodiversity, similar to that of tropical coral ...
متن کاملForage fish habitat distribution near the Alaskan coastal shelf areas
This project identifies previously unknown demersal fish habitat along the continental slope along the eastern Chukchi Sea and Alaskan and Canadian Beaufort Sea waters. It is based on an analysis of several data sets obtained during JWACS 2002, a research expedition in the Beaufort and Chukchi seas in 2002.

متن کاملNatural Hazards, Fish Habitat, and Fishing Communities in Alaska
—Fish and fishing communities are iconic symbols of Alaska. Volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis also stand out as processes that define or shape the Alaska landscape. Alaska has numerous fishing ports that regularly rank in the top 10 ports for commercial landings by weight and value in the United States. In addition to commercial fisheries, subsistence fisheries and sport fishing play an impo...
متن کاملFish Habitat Optimization to Prioritize River Restoration Decisions
This paper examines and ranks restoration alternatives for improving fish habitat by evaluating tradeoffs between fish production and restoration costs. Optimization modelling is used to maximize out‐migrating coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) from a natal stream and is applied as a case study in California’s Shasta River. Restoration activities that alter flow and water temperature conditions...
