Human and environmental gradients predict catch, effort, and species composition in a large Micronesian coral-reef fishery

Chapter 11 . Fishery - Dependent Sampling : Total Catch , Effort and Catch Composition

Synergistic Effects of Marine Reserves and Harvest Controls on the Abundance and Catch Dynamics of a Coral Reef Fishery

Marine no-take reserves, where fishing and other extractive activities are prohibited, have well-established conservation benefits [1], yet their impacts on fisheries remains contentious [2-4]. For fishery species, reserves are often implemented alongside more conventional harvest strategies, including catch and size limits [2, 5]. However, catch and fish abundances observed post-intervention a...

Identification and catch composition of fish from set net (Moshta) fishery in Bandar Abbas, Persin Gulf

This study on set-net fishing at the coastal area of Bandar Abbas was conducted from October to April 2012. A totally of 54 set-net operations were recorded, random samplig monthly of 9 set-net from Nakhlenakhoda, Khajehatatta and Suru were conducted. Catch data of every set-net operator were recorded monthly. Fishes were identified, length and weight frequency of fishes were recorded. Results ...

some environmental factors effects on species composition, catch and cpue of kilkas in the caspian sea

this study evaluates changes in species composition, catch, and cpue of three species of kilkas in the caspian sea from 1961 to 2009. the effects of fluctuations in sea level rise and fall on the catch of kilka as well as the impacts of a recent invasion by mnemiopsis leidyi (ctenophora) were assessed in terms of species composition and cpue of kilkas in the iranian coastal region of the caspia...

A multi-agent simulation model of fishery fleet dynamics for the Queensland coral reef line fishery

We present a computational model of fishing fleet dynamics for the Queensland coral reef line fishery. The model runs in a two dimensional space with agents moving between port and the collection of available reefs. The model of rationality is based on the haystack models of game theory, such that the agents are aware of what other boats are doing and seek to maximise yield with consideration o...
