A study was conducted to understand current practices of commercially important marine fish marketing systems in the Patuakhali area of southern Bangladesh. A total of ten commercially important marine fish were identified such as: 1) hilsa, 2) pomfret, 3) marine catfish, 4) tuna, 5) coral fish, 6) marine eel, 7)...
Gujarat, a major maritime state, has 20 percent coastline and accounts for 10 per cent of fish production of India. Recently, the government of Gujarat has placed a special emphasis on the development of ports with an objective to explore the opportunities of trade through the ports. The government plans...
What makes invasive species successful, and how do they affect native populations and communities? I addressed these key questions in the context of the invasion of Atlantic coral reefs by Pacific red lionfish (Pterois volitans). To assess the role of parasites in contributing to the success of this invasion, I...

This paper identifies economic institutions related to the small-scale craft fishery in southern Sri Lanka, and assesses their importance for the livelihood of the fisher households as well as for resource conservation. Income from small-scale craft fishing is generally uncertain because of seasonality and uncertainty of the marine fish resource,...
Are Marine Protected Areas positive for adjacent fisheries? This is a study of the technical efficiency of small-scale trawlers in Nha Trang, Vietnam following establishment of Nha Trang Bay Marine Protected Area (NTB-MPA) that imposed a trawl ban to protect marine biodiversity and regenerate fish stocks. Data were collected through...
In many situation, fishing activity adversely impacts the state of the marine ecosystem, impacts which feed back to affect fish stocks. Some ecosystems appear to have multiple equilibria and exhibit hysteresis, whereby they can become stuck in low productivity states. We show how adding ecosystem dynamics to a classic fisheries...
These four items document the 2010-2011 permitting process to stabilize the eastern edge of the Hatfield Marine Science Center property. During late 2006, erosion forced the closure of the HMSC public estuary trail. In March 2007, an erosion control project using a gravel beach or "dynamic revetment" resulted in the...
