environmental parameters at the time the component layers are deposited. In particular …

The regulation of mesh size has frequently been proposed as a management measure for
fish traps, the predominant gear used by the reef fish fisheries in the Caribbean. Studies on …

The overall size structure of catches was studied in the multispecific, multigear, demersal

In order to estimate the abundance of scallops it is necessary to estimate the efficiency of the
experimental fishing gear (scallop dredge with rings of 50 mm diameter, 2 m wide and a …

Trammelnets are sometimes considered as harmful gears for coastal reef resources and
their banning has been recommended in the Caribbean. In the present state of the fishing …

La dynamique du stock est étudiée à partir de la structure démographique des captures

To estimate the abundance of scallop populations either by VPA approach or by directed
survey on seabeds it is necessary to evaluate the efficiency of fishing gears. The age-size …

The rapid development of the albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga) driftnet fishery in the Bay of
Biscay (Atlantic ocean, France) has incited European management authorities to ask for a …

Preliminary results and conclusions are presented about the status of the grouper resources
