Giant trevally (Caranx ignobilis, GT) are growing in popularity as a target for tourism-based recreational fisheries throughout their range the Indo-Pacific. Although predominately catch-and-release (C&R), to date there is no species-specific scientific evidence support capture and handling guidelines.

A trophic web is a network of complex interactions and energy links between species. These can be simplified into trophodynamic models, such as Ecopath (EP) EcoTroph (ET), important tools providing the holistic view needed for ecosystem approach to fisheries. We described food structure by developing an EP model Santa Cruz Channel (SCC), large tropical estuarine system in northeastern Brazil, s...
