Book Stock Enhancement and Sea Ranching

Download or read book Stock Enhancement and Sea Ranching written by Bari Howell and published by Wiley. This book was released on 1999-09-15 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stock enhancement and sea ranching has been practised for decades for a wide variety of marine fish and invertebrate species in Japan, and for salmonids. As a result, fisheries scientists and managers worldwide have been encouraged to use these techniques to increase the productivity of existing fisheries, to create new fisheries, and to restore those that are no longer viable. Projects are now under way not only in Japan, but on cod in Norway, striped mullet in Hawaii, red drum in Texas, white seabass in California, scallops in New Zealand, shrimp in China and sturgeons in the Caspian Sea, to name a few. This edited work, based on the first International Symposium on Stock Enhancement and Sea Ranching, presents and discusses advances in these techniques and their consequences and sets out to identify the most important priorities for future research.

Book Overview of Marine Stock Enhancement  Restocking and Sea Ranching in Ghana

Download or read book Overview of Marine Stock Enhancement Restocking and Sea Ranching in Ghana written by Berchie Asiedu and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fish stocks in Ghanaian waters are on the decline. There is therefore the need to rebuild the stocks through marine stock enhancement and restocking. Stock enhancement and restocking are the guarantee routes to revive the stock declining menace of the country. Other benefits will include sustainable employment, increase fishers income, reduce poverty, ensures food security and promote national development. Species to be used for restocking is a major problem since the biology of the existing species is poorly understood. There are certain factors that must be taken into considerations if stock enhancement and restock programmes are to be successful, namely existing fisheries management schemes, socio-economic factors, institutional capacity and aquaculture development. The potential for Ghana to create sustainable, supplemental livelihoods through restocking or stock enhancement appears promising.

Book Ecosystem Concepts for Sustainable Bivalve Mariculture

Download or read book Ecosystem Concepts for Sustainable Bivalve Mariculture written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2010-03-18 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: U.S. mariculture production of bivalve molluscs-those cultivated in the marine environment-has roughly doubled over the last 25 years. Although mariculture operations may expand the production of seafood without additional exploitation of wild populations, they still depend upon and affect natural ecosystems and ecosystem services. Every additional animal has an incremental effect arising from food extraction and waste excretion. Increasing domestic seafood production in the United States in an environmentally and socially responsible way will likely require the use of policy tools, such as best management practices (BMPs) and performance standards. BMPs represent one approach to protecting against undesirable consequences of mariculture. An alternative approach to voluntary or mandatory BMPs is the establishment of performance standards for mariculture. Variability in environmental conditions makes it difficult to develop BMPs that are sufficiently flexible and adaptable to protect ecosystem integrity across a broad range of locations and conditions. An alternative that measures performance in sustaining key indicators of ecosystem state and function may be more effective. Because BMPs address mariculture methods rather than monitoring actual ecosystem responses, they do not guarantee that detrimental ecosystem impacts will be controlled or that unacceptable impact will be avoided. Ecosystem Concepts for Sustainable Bivalve Mariculture finds that while performance standards can be applied for some broad ecosystem indicators, BMPs may be more appropriate for addressing parameters that change from site to site, such as the species being cultured, different culture methods, and various environmental conditions. This book takes an in-depth look at the environmental, social, and economic issues to present recommendations for sustainable bivalve mariculture.
