Are marine reserves effective in management of reef fisheries
Journal Article
Coastal fisheries in the pacific islands
TL;DR: The greatest influence on coastal fisheries in the Pacific through the next decade is likely to come from southeast and east Asia, where the demand for high value coastal fishes and invertebrates has led to large scale depletions and has motivated entrepreneurs to seek stocks in the neighbouring Pacific islands.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Fishing on the Ecosystem Structure of Coral Reefs
TL;DR: There is an urgent need to look beyond fish communities and to consider the entire reef ecosystem, which will provide a much better understanding of the effects of biodiversity loss on reef function and will improve the ability to manage these complex systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of fishing effort and catch rate upon the structure and biomass of Fijian reef fish communities
Simon Jennings,Nicholas Polunin +1 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the annual removal of 5% of fish biomass may cause significant structural changes in reef fish communities and it is important to ensure that fishing concessions and poaching activities are carefully regulated in marine reserves.
Journal ArticleDOI
The threatened status of restricted-range coral reef fish species
TL;DR: A number of species were found to be rare, were exploited and had highly restricted ranges overlapping areas where reef degradation is particularly severe, placing them at a high risk of extinction.
