Linkages Between Salt Marshes and Other Nekton Habitats in Delaware Bay, USA
Jan 01, 2007; ... Although the importance of salt marsh habitats for fishes and crabs has been accepted for nearly a half century, the linkages between marshes and adjacent estuarine habitats have been ill-defined. In this synoptic study (n > 19,000 samples, 14 species, 10 million individuals), we provide ...
Advances in Research of Necrotizing Hepatopancreatitis Bacterium (NHPB) Affecting Penaeid Shrimp Aquaculture
Jan 01, 2007; ... Necrotizing hepatopancreatitis (NHP) is a severe bacterial disease affecting penaeid shrimp aquaculture. NHP is caused by the gram-negative, pleomorphic, obligately intracellular NHP-bacterium (NHPB) that targets the hepatopancreas tissue of shrimp. NHPB is classified as an ...
Understanding the Complexity of Catch-and-Release in Recreational Fishing: An Integrative Synthesis of Global Knowledge from Historical, Ethical, Social, and Biological Perspectives
Jan 01, 2007; ... Most research on catch-and-release (C&R) in recreational fishing has been conducted from a disciplinary angle focusing on the biological sciences and the study of hooking mortality after release. This hampers understanding of the complex and multifaceted nature of C&R. In the present ...
Documented and Potential Biological Impacts of Recreational Fishing: Insights for Management and Conservation
Dec 01, 2006; ... While the impacts of high exploitation on fish populations and aquatic ecosystems are well-documented for commercial fishing, particularly in the marine environment, the potential biological impacts of angling received less attention. This paper discusses angling patterns within a ...
Fishing Effort Analysis and Its Potential to Evaluate Stock Size
Dec 01, 2006; ... The analysis of fishing effort data has long occupied fisheries researchers in deriving appropriate indices of abundance for identifying changes in the size of fish populations. During the past 50 years, contributions in the scientific literature have dealt with the general theory and concepts ...
