Accepted on April 21, 2005. Cabra Corral reservoir is located in Salta Province and is the largest man-made lake in northern Argentina. As other reservoirs located in this area, it was stocked with pejerrey (Od...

Oyster populations in Virginia’s waters of Chesapeake Bay were lightly exploited until the early 1800s, when industrial fishery vessels first arrived, driven south from New England due to the collapse of northeastern oyster fisheries. Early signs of overexploitation and habitat degradation were evident by the 1850s. The public fishery, where oyster fishers harvest on state-owned bottom, rapidly...

The shallow lake wetlands in the middle and lower Yangtze River floodplain are important wintering and stopover habitats for migratory waterbirds on the East Asia-Australia Flyway. With increasing fishery practices in recent years, however, the wetlands have deteriorated significantly and now threaten wintering waterbirds. To gain insight into the influence of deteriorating wetlands on waterbir...

Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from the offshore fisheries industry in the Republic of Korea (Korea) were examined in response to growing concerns about global warming and the contribution of emissions from different industrial sectors. Fuel usage and GHG emissions (CO2, CH4, N2O) were analysed using the 'Tier 1' method provided by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) from the o...

Around the Hawaiian Islands, a variety of small and medium-scale fisheries target bigeye (Thunnus obsesus) and yellowfin tuna (T. albacares) associated with offshore seamounts and weather monitoring buoys, an inshore network of fish aggregating devices (FADs), and natural aggregation sites (Itano and Holland, 2000). These fisheries, conducted from longline, troll and handline, and to a lesser e...

In this report, the main challenges of managing orange roughy fisheries are outlined, as well as lessons learned that could be applied in the future to fisheries for this species (and others like it) which in some cases may allow for an ecologically sustainable, albeit limited, commercial fishery. The term ‘sustainable’ or ‘sustainable fishery’ in this context is defined as a fishery which meet...

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...

Increasing production and use of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) has been reported from China, and a few studies have shown there are subpopulations in China with high and increasing exposure to these chemicals. In this paper, we present a comprehensive exposure assessment of PFASs in fishery employees from Tangxun Lake, China. Exceptionally high serum concentrations of C4 to C12 PF...

Governance of the world’s marine fisheries is ill-adapted to sustainability. Twenty years after the expansion of exclusive economic zones over most of the continental shelves, fisheries worldwide face problems of stock depletion, declining yields and increasing conflict. Other human activities in the ocean compound the effect. What is wrong? This paper is about the internal workings of fishery ...
