Identification, conservation and management of estuarine and marine invertebrates: A National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis Working Group Report

Management at a different scale: Marine ornamentals and local processes

In many parts of the world, marine ornamentals, fishes and invertebrates collected and sold in the aquarium trade, comprise an increasingly important fishery. Few management strategies have been devised for these fisheries, yet they may represent the most tractable systems: e.g., the benthic life stages are relatively site attached and easily sampled, and many species are amenable to experimental study. Here, a stochastic population model is developed with which to investigate the efficacy of exploitation strategies designed to manage a marine ornamental fishery.
