population and density estimate of black rat in mangrove forests was conducted by two independent procedures, including seber-jolly and catch-effort methods. a selected trapping area with 15 hectares was studied. first, 60 cage traps for seber-jolly and then 80 cage traps for catch-effort method installed in the trapping area. we used color earrings and numerical rings for marking the captured ...

Visual cues play important roles in sea turtle foraging behavior and likely influence their interactions with fishing gear. Altering these cues may be a useful strategy to reduce the incidental catch of sea turtles in various fisheries. We examined the potential effectiveness of 3 visual cues — shark shapes placed along the length of the gill net, illumination of nets by LED lights, and nets il...
