Nintyeight belonging 38 families were collected, including 78 41 autumn. dominant Vinciguerria sp. (39.70%), Stephanolepis cirrhifer (11.21%), Caranx (5.45%) Benthosema pterotum...

FAD technology has an indirect impact on the development of fishery stocks, thereby increasing diversity fish species in area. This study aimed to determine types pelagic caught using handlines around FADs. The target this was traditional fishermen. research conducted survey methods and directly involved fishing process. Fishing carried out with specifications consisting main line, weight, swiv...

Abstract Gillnets are widely used by small-scale fishermen to catch giant travelly Caranx ignobilis in coastal waters, the dominant fish caught small size not according market size. The parameters of gillnet such as mesh and hanging ratio can optimize target purpose this study was analyze effect gillnets on local marketable for C . fishing experiment carried out floating net cages at Ambon Fish...

CRITTERCAMS were deployed on 42 Hawaiian monk seals at French Frigate Shoals, Hawaii, to assess the degree to which interaction with large predatory fish may play a role in their foraging success. Sharks, jacks, and large-bodied snappers were seen near the actively foraging seals approximately 17% of the time. Present at all but the greatest depths (>100 m), the predatory fish were most frequen...

Commercial fishers have used fish aggregating devices throughout the Mediterranean Sea for over 40 years. These devices attract numerous predatory and forage species in both coastal and offshore environments. This study examined the influence of fish aggregating devices on schooling and aggregating behaviour by small forage fish in quasi-natural mesocosms. Anti-predator behaviour was evaluated ...

We analyzed fishermen’s local ecological knowledge (LEK) about the feeding habits, trophic interactions, habitats, fishing grounds, migration, and reproduction of nine coastal fishes in Búzios Island, southeastern Brazilian coast. We interviewed 39 fishermen using standardized questionnaires. Fishermen’s LEK on habitat use and trophic interactions for the studied fishes agreed with the scientif...
