Download or read book Managing Socio ecological Production Landscapes and Seascapes for Sustainable Communities in Asia written by Osamu Saito and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-02-10 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book presents up-to-date analyses of community-based approaches to sustainable resource management of SEPLS (socio-ecological production landscapes and seascapes) in areas where a harmonious relationship between the natural environment and the people who inhabit it is essential to ensure community and environmental well-being as well as to build resilience in the ecosystems that support this well-being. Understanding SEPLS and the forces of change that can weaken their resilience requires the integration of knowledge across a wide range of academic disciplines as well as from indigenous knowledge and experience. Moreover, given the wide variation in the socio-ecological makeup of SEPLS around the globe, as well as in their political and economic contexts, individual communities will be at the forefront of developing the measures appropriate for their unique circumstances. This in turn requires robust communication systems and broad participatory approaches. Sustainability science (SuS) research is highly integrated, participatory and solutions driven, and as such is well suited to the study of SEPLS. Through case studies, literature reviews and SuS analyses, the book explores various approaches to stakeholder participation, policy development and appropriate action for the future of SEPLS. It provides communities, researchers and decision-makers at various levels with new tools and strategies for exploring scenarios and creating future visions for sustainable societies.
Download or read book Carp written by Jennifer D. Sanders and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Common carp are hugely popular in aquaculture, course angling, commercial fisheries and as an ornamental fish. While their native range extends from the lakes and rivers of Japan to the Danube Basin in Eastern Europe, their usefulness has led to them being introduced to many waterways outside their native range. In this book, the authors present topical research in the study of the habitat, management and diseases of carp. Included in this compilation are the strategic management of the photoperiodic schedule and melatonin profile in the regulation of carp reproduction; invasive parasites of common carp in Europe; impacts of the common carp on freshwater ecosystems and the utilisation of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus in carp culture ponds..

Download or read book Carp Exclusion Screens on Wetland Inlets written by Karl Aaron Hillyard and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carp screens are used in the Murray-Darling Basin (MDB) to prevent invasive alien common carp, Cyprinus carpio L. from entering wetlands, minimising their ecological impacts and denying them access to spawning habitat. The effectiveness of existing screen designs has not been evaluated, however, and little is known of their incidental effects on the lateral (instream-offstream) movements of other fish and aquatic fauna. This study investigates new screen designs that are based on carp morphology, with allowances for the lateral movements of carp and other species. The aims were (1) to determine the spatial and (2) temporal nature of lateral fish movements in the River Murray, South Australia, (3) to describe the location and design of existing carp screens across the Murray-Darling Basin, (4) develop new designs optimised to prevent the passage of sexually-mature carp, and (5) to compare and evaluate the new and existing designs. The spatial movements of fish between the Murray and six perennially-inundated wetlands were monitored using directional fyke nets set in wetland inlets from August to November 2006. Some 210,000 juvenile and adult fish from 18 species (14 native, four alien) were recorded over 13 weeks. The spatial movements of fish varied among wetlands, despite the proximity of the wetlands to each other, and showed no consistent directionality. This may have reflected the prevailing low-flow conditions (hence the absence of flow-related cues for movements), the virtually permanent connections between the wetlands and channel (maintained by weirs and other regulating structures) and the predominance of 'generalist' species with broad habitat requirements. Temporal movements generally were haphazard, but several small-bodied species increased in abundance over the 13 weeks, co-incidentally in response to increasing water temperature and day length. For most species, the balance of directional movements was from, rather than to, wetlands, possibly in response to falling water levels. Existing carp screens are concentrated along the Murray in South Australia, but are used throughout the Murray-Darling Basin. In a Basin-wide survey, 54 carp screens were located, including eight mesh designs and varied dimensions. Morphometric data (from fish captured in the lateral-movement study) were used to develop two new designs to exclude sexually-mature carp (44-mm square grid mesh, 'jail bar' mesh with 31.4-mm gaps). Up to 92% of carp captured in the lateral-movement study would have been excluded by either new design. The new screen designs and the most common existing design (Alu-Tread® walkway mesh) were trialled using directional fyke nets at 12 wetlands on the Lower Murray. The new designs allowed the passage of more small species (native species

Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Sixth Extinction returns to humanity’s transformative impact on the environment, now asking: After doing so much damage, can we change nature, this time to save it? RECOMMENDED BY PRESIDENT OBAMA AND BILL GATES • SHORTLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR WRITING • ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post • ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Time, Esquire, Smithsonian Magazine, Vulture, Publishers Weekly, Kirkus Reviews, Library Journal • “Beautifully and insistently, Kolbert shows us that it is time to think radically about the ways we manage the environment.”—Helen Macdonald, The New York Times That man should have dominion “over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth” is a prophecy that has hardened into fact. So pervasive are human impacts on the planet that it’s said we live in a new geological epoch: the Anthropocene. In Under a White Sky, Elizabeth Kolbert takes a hard look at the new world we are creating. Along the way, she meets biologists who are trying to preserve the world’s rarest fish, which lives in a single tiny pool in the middle of the Mojave; engineers who are turning carbon emissions to stone in Iceland; Australian researchers who are trying to develop a “super coral” that can survive on a hotter globe; and physicists who are contemplating shooting tiny diamonds into the stratosphere to cool the earth. One way to look at human civilization, says Kolbert, is as a ten-thousand-year exercise in defying nature. In The Sixth Extinction, she explored the ways in which our capacity for destruction has reshaped the natural world. Now she examines how the very sorts of interventions that have imperiled our planet are increasingly seen as the only hope for its salvation. By turns inspiring, terrifying, and darkly comic, Under a White Sky is an utterly original examination of the challenges we face.

Book excerpt: This report presents the process and findings of Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC) Project 2016-132: Impact Costs of Carp and Expected Benefits & Costs Associated with Carp Control in the Murray Darling Basin. The project was funded under the National Carp Control Plan (NCCP) from June 2017 to December 2019. Project 2016-132, undertaken by Agtrans Research in association with Environmental and Resource Economics (ERE) and Gillespie Economics, investigated the current and future impact costs of European Carp in Australian waterways, particularly the Murray Darling Basin (MDB), and the costs and benefits of Carp biocontrol through the proposed release of Cyprinid herpesvirus 3 (CyHV-3). The project aims to provide critical information on the potential costs and benefits associated with Carp and Carp biocontrol for decision-makers assessing the proposed control of Carp in Australia through the NCCP.
Download or read book A Handbook of Global Freshwater Invasive Species written by Robert A. Francis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-03-12 with total page 918 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Invasive non-native species are a major threat to global biodiversity. Often introduced accidentally through international travel or trade, they invade and colonize new habitats, often with devastating consequences for the local flora and fauna. Their environmental impacts can range from damage to resource production (e.g. agriculture and forestry) and infrastructure (e.g. buildings, road and water supply), to human health. They consequently can have major economic impacts. It is a priority to prevent their introduction and spread, as well as to control them. Freshwater ecosystems are particularly at risk from invasions and are landscape corridors that facilitate the spread of invasives. This book reviews the current state of knowledge of the most notable global invasive freshwater species or groups, based on their severity of economic impact, geographic distribution outside of their native range, extent of research, and recognition of the ecological severity of the impact of the species by the IUCN. As well as some of the very well-known species, the book also covers some invasives that are emerging as serious threats. Examples covered include a range of aquatic and riparian plants, insects, molluscs, crustacea, fish, amphibians, reptiles and mammals, as well as some major pathogens of aquatic organisms. The book also includes overview chapters synthesizing the ecological impact of invasive species in fresh water and summarizing practical implications for the management of rivers and other freshwater habitats.

This book was released on 2002-08-31 with total page 604 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first attempt to provide an overall picture of aquatic species invasions in Europe. Its geographical scope stretches from Irish waters in the west to the Volga River and the Caspian Sea in the east, and from the Mediterranean Sea in the south up to the Arctic coast of Europe. Not all parts of the continent could be covered equally, as in some countries species invasions are not yet studied. The book represents the array of all major European aquatic systems in the broadest geographical and ecological scope possible, from fully saline seas, semi-enclosed brackish water bodies and coastal lagoons to freshwater lakes, major river systems and waterways. The key objectives include the present status and impacts on economy and environment caused by non-native aquatic species in European waters. Altogether more than 100 scientists from 24 countries have joined together to synthesize the available information on bio-invasions.
