Restoration that targets function as opposed to structure: replacing lost bivalve production and filtration

Deborah P. French McCay, +3 more
- 15 Dec 2003 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the factors known to limit abundance and production of surf clams and other marine bivalves (hard clams, Amer- ican oysters and bay scallops) and review the advantages of hatchery stocking, transplantation, and reduction of fishing pressure in selecting a reliable and efficient restoration action.
Journal ArticleDOI

Coral reef fisheries stock assessment

P. A. Medley, +2 more
- 01 Sep 1993 - 
TL;DR: The ECOPATH model, based on trophic compartments, represents a new approach useful to multispecies assessment, and the only way at present to include predation in stock models.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fasting reduces plasma leptin-and ghrelin-immunoreactive peptide concentrations of the burbot (Lota lota) at 2 degrees C but not at 10 degrees C.

Petteri Nieminen, +2 more
- 01 Sep 2003 - 
TL;DR: The results support previous studies in stating that immunoreactivities resembling mammalian leptin and ghrelin can be detected in burbot plasma and liver, but the specific functions of these peptides will have to be determined in future studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Small‐scale spatial variation in growth, size at maturity, and yield‐ and egg‐per‐recruit relations in the New Zealand abalone Haliotis iris

Paul E. McShane, +1 more
- 01 Dec 1995 - 
TL;DR: Differences in the growth rate of H. iris between headlands and bays may account for the apparent differences in the size at onset of maturity: individuals off headlands, and from a fast‐growing population off Wellington, reached reproductive maturity at a smaller size compared with those in bays.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intrinsic Fish Characteristics and Intraseason Production Efficiency: A Management-Level Bioeconomic Analysis of a Commercial Fishery

Sherry L. Larkin, +1 more
- 01 Feb 1999 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a seasonal bioeconomic programming model to model a vertically integrated fishery from harvest through processing and found that the optimal management plan would maximize discounted net industry revenues (NPV) given a minimum spawning biomass.
