Demonstrating multiple benefits from periodically harvested fisheries closures

Catch Rates, Composition and Fish Size from Reefs Managed with Periodically-Harvested Closures

Periodically-harvested closures are commonly employed within co-management frameworks to help manage small-scale, multi-species fisheries in the Indo-Pacific. Despite their widespread use, the benefits of periodic harvesting strategies for multi-species fisheries have, to date, been largely untested. We examine catch and effort data from four periodically-harvested reef areas and 55 continuousl...

Modeling Effects of Habitat Closures in Ocean Fisheries

Theoretical and practical problems arise when Random Utility Models (RUM) of spatial choice developed for recreational fisheries are applied to model spatial closures in ocean commercial fisheries for creating marine protected areas. The RUM clearly has important advantages. To be consistent with RUM and also be relevant to actual closure decisions for open-ocean fisheries, models of habitat-dr...

The Influence of Otolithes ruber Consumption on Prey and Comparison with that Harvested by Fisheries

The Otolithes ruber is considered a valuable fish in the Indo-West Pacific. Estimates of the Q/B ratio and parameters of equations to ‘predict’ Q/B values for O. ruber in northwestern part of the Persian Gulf and the effects of different age-groups (age 1 to 6 year) on prey are presented. The age and food item of O. ruber were recorded on data collected from monthly samplings by bottom tra...
