The oyster population in the Maryland portion of Chesapeake Bay, USA, has declined by more than 50-fold since early part this century.The paper presents evidence that mechanical destruction habitat and stock overfishing have been important factors decline, even though it is commonly thought 'water quality' and, recently, diseases are critical.Quantitative analyses show long-term decline oysters largely results from loss associated with intense fishing pressure century, century through recent...
A unified mechanistic approach is given for the derivation of various forms functional response in predator–prey models.. The based on principle mass action but with crucial refinement that nature spatial distribution predators and/or opportunities predation are taken into account an implicit way. If assumed to have a homogeneous distribution, then derived prey-dependent. form dense colony or school single (possibly moving) location, if region where can encounter prey be limited size,...
1. There has been considerable debate over the past decade with respect to wildlife provisioning, especially resultant behavioural changes that may impact ecological function of an apex predator. The controversy is exemplified by shark diving industry, where major criticisms based on inference, anecdote and opinion stem from concerns potential behaviourally mediated ecosystem effects because ecotourism provisioning (aka'chumming' or feeding). 2. a general lack empirical evidence refute...
BIODIVERS1TY is increasingly threatened by habitat destruction, environmental changes, and overexploitation.Preventing reductions in biodiversity promoting sustainable resource use requires new management strategies, more effective education, strong research.There a need to switch less destructive wasteful fishing methods protect critical sensitive habitats from development overexploitation.Marine reserves, areas permanently protected all extractive uses, are gaining widespread attention as...
The coral reef fish community of Hawaii is composed hundreds species, supports a multimillion dollar fishing and tourism industry, great cultural importance to the local population. However, major stock assessment Hawaiian populations has not yet been conducted. Here we used robust indicator variable "average length in exploited phase population (L¯)", estimated from size composition data commercial fisheries trip reports fishery-independent diver surveys, evaluate exploitation rates for 19...

The benefits spatial management zones, such as protected areas ( MPA s), for animals unclear.

Abstract Within oligotrophic ecosystems, resource limitations coupled with interspecific variation in morphology, physiology, and life history traits may lead to niche partitioning among species. How generalist predators partition resources their mechanisms, however, remain unclear across many ecosystems. We quantified upper trophic level coastal estuarine species: American alligators ( Alligator mississippiensis ), bull sharks Carcharhinus leucas common bottlenose dolphins Tursiops...

Abstract Simulation and empirical analyses were conducted to evaluate the utility robustness of average length (Lbar) animals in exploited population as an estimator fishing mortality (F), therefore indicator exploitation status for Florida coral-reef fish. results showed that Lbar was relatively insensitive trends recruitment, demonstrated favourable properties detecting statistical differences between sustainable non-sustainable rates exploitation. Rates F estimated from fishery-dependent...
