		Biological notes on dolphin-fish Coryphaena Hippurus (Linnaeus) in Papua New Guinea waters Author(s): Chapau, M. Publisher: Fisheries Research and Surveys Branch, Department of Fisheries and Marine Resources Place: Konedobu Date: 1991 ASFA Keywords: Epipelagic zone, Fishery biology, Fishery data, Research Country Collection: Papua New Guinea Abstract: Some observations are presented on the biology of the common dolphin-fish from the waters around Papua New Guinea. Sample sizes were small but permitted some conclusions on the spawning of dolphin-fish, size structure of the population and feeding habit
		Brief on current fisheries activities: Ministerial tour - Nikunau, Tamana and Arorae Author(s): Statisitical Unit Publisher: Statistical Unit, Kiribati Place: Tarawa (Kiribati) Date: 1991 ASFA Keywords: Fishery data, Fishery statistics Country Collection: Kiribati
		Ciguatera fish poisoning: Progress reports on surveys carried out on south Tarawa and the Linnix group Author(s): Teaioro, I., Tebano, T., Tanako, T., Riinga, T. Publisher: Atoll Research Programme, University of the South Pacific Place: Suva (Fiji) Date: 1994 Notes: Research was sponsored by the New Zealand Government ASFA Keywords: Ciguatera, Fish poisoning, Fishery data Country Collection: Kiribati Abstract: Ciguatera is a disease caused by ingestion of a wide variety of circumtropically distributed reef fish which have accumulated ciguatoxin via their diet.
		Deep bottom fishing project - Report 8: Maiana Kiribati Author(s): Tinga, R., Ueantabo, N. Place: Tarawa (Kiribati) Date: 1991 Notes: In May, 1980 SPC Masterfisherman P. Taumaia, visited the island and conducted for the first time (in collaboration with Fisheries Division) deep bottom fishing activities. His average catch rate was reported to be 10.5kg/reel-hr. In comparision with the 11.6kg/reel-hr obtained from our visit (CPUEs are for all species including sharks), it may well support the assumption that the stocks of deep bottom fishes along the deep reef slopes od Maiana have to date remained untapped as confirmed by the increase in CPUE of 1.1kg/ree-hr over the 1980 figure. This increase further establishes the assumption that that biomass of the virgin stock of this resource may have slightly increased by certain proportions since 1980.

		Deep bottom fishing project, report no. 10: Abaiang, Kiribati Author(s): Tinga, R. Publisher: Kiribati Place: Tarawa (Kiribati) Date: December 1991 Notes: In May, 1984 the Fisheries Division under the supervision of SPC Masterfisherman P. Taumaia, conducted deep bottom fishing operations for the first time along the outer-reef slopes of selected areas at Abaiang. Log sheets reveal that the CPUE was estimated to be 2.8kg/reel-hr. In comparison with the present CPUE of 7.0kg/ree-hr, it is possible that the deep bottom fish resource have a high potential for exploitation. Care should, however, be exercised to maintain a modest level of fishing effort if stocks should not be allowed to decrease, in which case an in-depth analysis should be made to determine the value of maximum sustainable yield for this resource.

		Fisheries data collection in South Tarawa: A 3 month summary of data for the months of June - Aug 1995 Author(s): Mees, C. C., Yee-Ting, B. M. Publisher: Fisheries Division, Ministry of Natural Resources Development Place: Kiribati Date: 1985 ASFA Keywords: Fishery data, Fishery resources, Fishery protection Country Collection: Kiribati
		Fisheries data collection on South Tarawa: a 4 month summary of data for the months of Sept.-Dec. 1985 Author(s): Yee-Ting, B. M. Publisher: Fisheries Division, Ministry of Natural Resource Development. Place: Tarawa (Kiribati) Date: 1985 ASFA Keywords: Fisheries, Fishery data, Catch statistics Country Collection: Kiribati
		Fisheries Division 1989 Annual Report Author(s): Ministry of Natural Resources Development, Kiribati Publisher: South Pacific Commission Date: 1989 Notes: Published with the support of the Fisheries Information Project, SPC ASFA Keywords: Annual reports, Fish aggregating devices, Fishery management, Fishery data Country Collection: Kiribati

		Fishing pressure on the resource of the elongated giant clam, Tridacna maxima, in Tonga (In Fisheries Research Bulletin of Tonga, Volume 3, 1995) Author(s): Kava, V., Udagawa, K., Ikenoue, H. Publisher: Ministry of Fisheries, Tonga Place: Nuku'alofa (Tonga) Date: 1995 Notes: pp. 11-17 ASFA Keywords: Clam fisheries, Fishery statistics, Fishery data, Fishery management Country Collection: Tonga Abstract: The size distribution of T. maxima landed at Vuna Wharf fish market indicated that the stock of T. maxima was subjected to stronger fishing pressure in 1992-94 than in 1979. The stock of clams larger than 100mm SL has decreased to such a low level that the catch of larger clams cannot be increased by intensifying fising effort.
		Giant clam fishing off Tongatapu Island (In Fisheries Research Bulletin of Tonga, Volume 2, 1994) Author(s): Kava, V., Udagawa, K. Publisher: Ministry of Fisheries, Tonga Place: Nuku'alofa (Tonga) Date: 1994 Notes: pp. 43-46 ASFA Keywords: Clam fisheries, Resource management, Fishery data Country Collection: Tonga Abstract: It has long been said that resource management measures should be introduced to prevent depletion of giant clam resources casued by overfishing (Mckoy, 1980; Munro, 1993). However, scientifically justifiable management measures have not been established yet.
		Onotoa fish resource assessment survey using the underwater visual census technique Author(s): Kirata, T Publisher: Fisheries Department. Ministry of Natural Resources Development Place: Tarawa (Kiribati) Date: 2000 Notes: Area covered in survey is very high 18% is reasonable. 7.8kg/1000M sq. density for nonfished area is most applicable ASFA Keywords: Fishery surveys, Surveying underwater, Fishery data Country Collection: Kiribati Abstract: On Friday 226 May 2000, a team of three personnel from the Marine Resource Assessment and Monitoring Unit and two from the Engineering Unit visited Onotoa on the RS Tebenebene; the team spent ten days on the island. This team conducted an Underwater Visual Census (UVC) survey on the island's reef.
		A preliminary assessment on the spawning season of some selected fishes of Tarawa reef and lagoon Author(s): Taenang, T., Miika, F. Place: Tarawa Date: 1996 ASFA Keywords: Catch statistics, Fishery data, Lagoon fisheries, spawning seasons Country Collection: Kiribati Abstract: This report is based on our preliminary analysis of the data on the catch of some fishermen that were sponsored by the Atoll Research Programme. Our interest is on the spawning season of reef and lagoon fish species.
		Results of the field surveys on giant clam stock in the Tongatapu Island group (In Fisheries Research Bulletin of Tonga, Volume 3, 1995) Author(s): Tu'avao, T., Loto'ahea, T., Udagawa, K., Sone, S. Publisher: Ministry of Fisheries, Tonga Place: Nuku'alofa (Tonga) Date: 1995 Notes: pp. 1-10 ASFA Keywords: Clam fisheries, Surveys, Fishery data, Fisheries development, Stock assessment Country Collection: Tonga Abstract: A series of surveys was conducted on the giant clam stocks in the Tongatapu Island group by the towing, free swimming, transect line and scuba diving methods. The density of T. maxima was high at Ha'atafu and Hakauiki Reef. The giant clam stock seems to have greatly decreased around Hakau Mamao Reef since 1979.
		Rural fisheries in Kiribati: frame surveys of Abemama, Kuria and north Tarawa Author(s): Marriott, S. P. Publisher: Fisheries Division, Ministry of Natural Resource Development Place: Tarawa (Kiribati) Date: 1984 Notes: Frame surveys of Albemama, Kuira and North Tarawa ASFA Keywords: Fishery surveys, Fishery development, Fishery data Country Collection: Kiribati Abstract: Frame surveys were made of three rural areas - Abemama, Kuria and North Tarawa. The results indicated that the island catches were sufficient to sustain their populations and to provide adequate protein requirements, although individual variations in the probable per capita fish consumption were noted. A discussion of the individual subjects development profiles indicated the probable areas for development. It was noted that the projects already started by the Fisheries Division matched the specific development targets that the surveys indicated were appropriate.
		The Tongan DW Line Fishery 2007: An assessment of the need for fisheries management Author(s): Wilson, M. Publisher: Ministry of Fisheries, Tonga Place: Nuku'alofa (Tonga) Date: 2007 ASFA Keywords: Fishery data, Fishery surveys, Fishery management Country Collection: Tonga Abstract: The DW Line Fishery can be divided into two distinct fisheries, a deepwater Seamount Fishery and a Bank and Islands Reef Dropoff fishery (called the Bank Fishery).
