Sardines and anchovies are small pelagic fishes that support important commercial fisheries around the world. This project reviews the inverse cyclic behavior in the abundance of these two stocks, which is a striking feature in many regions. In addition, the project used qualita…

The major aims of this study are to: (1) Assess the relative degree of heavy metal and chlorinated hydrocarbons contamination of fish products collected from several different locations and times from the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean; (2) Conduct health risk analysis of …
In many coastal communities, aquaculture is an important part of the local economy, though fish and shrimp farms may threaten habitats in these coastal systems. Aquaculture was introduced to the Setiu estuarine-lagoonal system (SEL) in Terengganu, Malaysia in the mid-1970s. As f…
Condition indices are widely used to generate biological insight. However, purported relationships to indices are imprecise or inconsistent in the wild. I investigated factors influencing relative weight (Wr), a condition index commonly applied to fish. I first examined the rela…
This thesis studies the optimal management of the Indonesian Wild Shrimp fisheries in conjunction with shrimp farm production. Recruitment of mature wild shrimp is related to the size and fecundity of the spawning population, and the environmental carrying capacity. Captured wil…
The emergence of a Bajo culture is inseparable from the Bajo's role in production and the social arrangements which have arisen from this. The tradition of artisanal fisheries has contributed to the impoverished state of many Bajo, and has shaped their relations with land-based …
This dissertation presents a development project with American aid workers, traditional fishers and the Roman Catholic Church in South India, using participatory action research. Several new fishing boats were collaboratively designed and built using modern epoxy construction me…
Shrimp culture has become a major export-oriented production system in Indonesia. This study is based on nine months of field research conducted from September 1990 to May 1991 in three shrimp-producing areas of West Java, Indonesia, namely the Tangerang/Serang, Karawang, and Ci…
Coastal fishery resources in South Sulawesi, Indonesia, are important because they not only provide food and income for coastal communities, but also generate revenue at the local, regional, and national levels. Attempts by the national government to impose centralized fishery r…
The dissertation describes the development and use of three mathematical models that simulate fisheries and aquaculture ecosystem production, with an emphasis on application of these models in lesser-studied areas of the world. The first model is a general marine fisheries ecosy…
Two species of myxosporean parasites in common carp (Cyprinus carpio) in West Java, Indonesia, were studied. Light and scanning electron microscopy descriptions of the morphological characteristics of spores for the identification of both species were made. A total of 150 tubifi…
Sixty eight species of decapod Crustacea were collected in the coastal waters of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. These consisted of one species of peneid shrimp, fourteen species in four families of caridean shrimp, one scylarid lobster, six species of hermit crabs, ten species of …
Approximately 5300 specimens of about 200 species of freshwater fishes of Peninsular Malaysia were examined, and meristic counts and morphometric measurements were recorded. This dissertation is the most inclusive and comprehensive study of Malaysian fishes to date. Osteochilus …
Channel catfish and common carp embryos were microinjected with mouse metallothionein human growth hormone fusion gene (MThGH), two constructs of RSV rainbow trout growth hormone cDNA (pRSVrtGHcDNA), RSV coho salmon growth hormone cDNA (pRSVcsGHcDNA) and rainbow trout vitellogen…
The Socialist Republic of Vietnam emerged as an active participant in oceans politics in Southeast Asia and in the Third United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea in 1977. Vietnam's approach to settlement of multiple overlapping maritime boundary and continental shelf clai…
Purpose. The purpose of this study was to examine selected factors affecting employment status and overall job satisfaction of graduates of two academic departments, the Department of Fishing Techniques and the Department of Marine Fisheries Engineering, of the College of Fisher…
A previously undescribed herpesvirus was isolated from juvenile lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) undergoing epizootics of unknown etiology. The virus appears to be the etiological agent of the epizootics based on the following criteria: (1) it was isolated only from infected fi…
This study tests hypotheses about factors influencing the operation of penaeid shrimp hatcheries and the associated adoption of hatchery fry by shrimp farmers in Indonesia. As a consequence, it develops a series of recommendations for government policy, experiment station resear…
Aquaculture genetic improvement programs may be ineffective if the sole objective is to increase growth rate. Stress resistance is equally important but is difficult to measure. In this study, developmental stability was used to characterize dietary stress resistance of 2 strain…
