The exploitation of aquatic food products has been very fundamental as a source of livelihood in
the Sub Saharan Africa in particular and the world in general. Global production of aquatic food
products totaled approximately 93.2 million metric tons in 1997 and sub Saharan Africa
contributed 3.7 per cent. For...
The Wolf Creek Restoration and Monitoring project is a large-scale restoration project that treated over 10 miles of stream with 900 logs and 3700 boulders over a two year period.

Climate change and climate-induced changes are expected to increase in the future and are likely to cause adverse impacts, especially on aquatic resources and coastal communities, by affecting the productivity and distribution of fish stocks. This will have serious implications on future demand and supply of fish at the global...
The International Association of Aquatic and Marine Science Libraries and Information Centers (IAMSLIC), comprised of 325 members from 86 countries, has a long history of resource sharing based on personal connections among its members. In 2002, IAMSLIC developed a resource-sharing system using a unified search interface that relies on Z39.50...
It is helpful to keep the stability of aquatic product supply chain and promote higher development of fishery economy to research power structure of aquatic product supply chain. This paper analyzes the power structure of aquatic product supply chain via the behavior theory in marketing discipline, cased study by Beijing...
Quality safety traceability system has adopted by most fishery enterprises as an important part of the strategic management. As the consequence, the end product is supposed to be higher. That consumers whether to accept has a direct impact on system successful implementation. This paper proposes a framework to research consumer...
A new conceptualization of sustainability in fisheries is emerging from much broader developments in natural resource management. In its modern form, "resilience" has become a powerful metaphor for sustainable development but advances in theory have yet to be translated into more resilient aquatic ecosystems or better lives for poor fisherfolk...
The Ganga, one of the most important rivers of India, is considered as heaven for rich biodiversity of fisheries and economically rewarding aquatic species. An investigation looked into ecology and habitat degradation of fisheries affecting biodiversity. It has been found that more than 35 fish species commonly available in river...
Pesticides are widely used to control undesirable pests and may be applied directly to water or lands directly adjacent to water. Pesticides are an option for habitat restoration but there can be unintended consequences to native, threatened and endangered species. There is very little information on the impacts of pesticides...

There is increasing awareness of and concern about the actual and potential adverse effects of fishing on the aquatic environment. New Zealand, like many other countries, has developed a range of initiatives to address specific issues related to the effects of fishing, including establishing marine reserves, fishing method restrictions, observer...
This paper deals with the economic impact of an aquatic invasive alien species on a coastal shellfish
fishery. A slipper-limpet (Crepidula fornicata ) was accidentally imported some decades ago, has
established and is spreading in the bay of Saint-Brieuc (France). This exotic species is acting as a space
competitor for...
The Mekong River Delta plays an essential role to Vietnam’s economy in terms of both rice and fish production. Annual flooding water and a rich level of aquatic resources strongly affect about 10 million
local people, as well as extend beyond the boundaries of wetland itself. Flooding water and wild...
A multidisciplinary team of scientists (Appendix 1) examined 10 of the 16 environmental benchmarks that are tracked by the Oregon Progress Board. The intent of the environmental benchmarks is to provide a fair assessment of the status and trends of Oregon's environmental health. The scientists were asked to clarify benchmark...
The INR worked with the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the federal Environmental Protection Agency to propose an integrated study design for collecting data on Native Fish, Indexes of Biotic Integrity and Water Quality, and Riparian Area Condition and Function. Estimated costs...
