Stocking strategies   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4  
Abstract  Stocking, transfer and introduction of fish are commonly used to mitigate loss of stocks, enhance recreational or commercial catches, restore fisheries or to create new fisheries. However, many stocking programmes are carried out without definition of objectives or evaluation of the potential or actual success of the exercise. This paper describes a strategic approach to stocking aimed at maximizing the potential benefits. A protocol is discussed which reviews factors such as source of fish, stocking density, age and size of fish at stocking, timing of stocking and mechanism of stocking. The potential genetic, ecological and environmental impacts of stocking are described.  相似文献

Abstract In less-developed countries, fisheries enhancement using stocking is a common practice to manage reservoirs for biomass production. In many cases, there appears to be little control over whether the stocking activity is appropriate or necessary. Cuban reservoir fisheries have been usually managed to maximize fish biomass. Blue tilapia have been introduced and supplemented in reservoirs, and Chinese carp are introduced and maintained in reservoirs throughout the entire island. Supplemental stocking with introduced fish species is a usual practice to manage large and medium-sized reservoirs. Small and very small reservoirs have been managed as semi-intensively enhanced fisheries with carp and tilapia stocking. The main purposes of the present paper are to study the factors contributing to the outcome of stocking programmes in reservoirs and to test the hypotheses that supplementary stocking for self-sustained fish populations usually cannot contribute to increase fish yield. Yield and stocking data by groups of fish species were available for Cuban reservoirs. Total fish yield was only slightly related to total fish stocking density for the complete set of reservoirs. However, this result was mainly because of the relationship between total yield and cyprinid stocking for semi-intensively-used reservoirs. Tilapia yield was not significantly related to tilapia stocking for both extensively and semi-intensively-used reservoirs. However, yield and stocking for cyprinids were highly related for both reservoir subsets. Therefore, cyprinid stocking was effective in certain reservoirs, but tilapia stocking was not effective in any reservoir. Moreover, tilapia stocking was a superfluous activity for reservoirs where tilapia have an adequate natural reproduction cycle.  相似文献

Stocking and introduction of fish have been widely applied in Yunnan Province, China, for many years to mitigate for declines in natural stocks and commercial catches, and to restore or create new fisheries. The present paper assesses the results of activities concerned with stock enhancement programmes to evaluate the factors which have contributed towards the success of these projects. Factors such as natural lake conditions, stocking density, the age and size of fish stocked, and the mechanisms of stocking are discussed. Stocking density was evaluated using the equations Y p = [ B ( P / B ) U f]/ K f or PYp = (P × Uf)/Kf, which were based on the ecological carrying capacity of the recipient lake and other criteria. The stocking density in most lakes in Yunnan was high, but the recapture rates and total yield did not reach the predicted levels. This may have been an effect of the size of the fingerlings released (finger-lings >10 cm have a greater chance of survival). Key management measures for stocking and the ecological impacts of overstocking grass carp, Ctenopharyngodon idella (Valenciennes), are also described.  相似文献

Consideration of fish introductions into the Sepik River, Papua New Guinea   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
Abstract. The fish fauna of the Sepik River system, Papua New Guinea is described. The fish species diversity in this large river is low, even by comparison to other overs in the south of the island. There are particular biological constraints to increasing the yield of the fishery based on native fish stocks. The yield of the Sepik River fishery is low by comparison to rivers in other zoogeographie regions. People in the Sepik also suffer from protein malnourishment. The introduction of appropriate fish species would significantly improve the stocks upon which the fishery is based. The economic cost of stocking is not an issue. Yield estimates suggest that the long-term benefits of improved stocks could be considerable. The indigenous freshwater fish fauna is unique and arguments against stocking relate to the conservation of that fauna and the existing fisheries. Alternatives to stocking are discussed. If stocking does not occur then a permanently disadvantaged fishery must be accepted. Decisions rest with the government and will be based on further research and consideration. Considerations must relate to the particular inland fisheries development problems in the country. The approach being taken is to appraise fish introductions properly before they occur. A cautious approach is recommended and suggestions about particular species that might be suitable for introduction are premature at present.  相似文献

Fishing is a major recreational activity in Denmark, involving both inland and coastal waters. Anglers, aged 18–67, and amateur fishermen, aged 12–67, must hold a valid fishing permit. Fees are used for stocking, river restoration and fisheries research. All proposals for stocking inland waters require stocking plans based on the carrying capacity of the aquatic habitat in question. All stocking is undertaken using hatchery-reared fish that are the offspring, either of wild fish caught in nature for subsequent stripping, or of more or less domesticated fish stocks that have lived in captivity for several generations. Stocking is also subject to genetic guidelines. This paper reviews the status of fisheries in Danish inland waters, their regulation, socio-economic aspects, stocking, aquaculture and the main problems and trends.  相似文献

Stocking is an important management tool for enhancing fisheries resources, but its actual contribution to fisheries resources is controversial, taking into consideration both the positive and negative effects. This study compared density and biomass of hatchery (otolith thermal marked) and wild masu salmon parr between stocked and unstocked rivers to evaluate the contribution of stocking with hatchery‐reared fish. Density and biomass of all fish did not differ between stocked and unstocked rivers. Moreover, density and biomass of wild fish in the stocked rivers were lower than those of the unstocked rivers. Density and biomass of hatchery fish in a non‐natural reproducing river were similar with those of all fish in natural reproducing rivers. These results indicate that hatchery stocking does not have positive effects on population density or biomass but replaces wild fish with hatchery fish and that non‐natural reproducing areas are more suitable as stocking sites.  相似文献

Stocking and electrofishing occurrence and abundance data for northern pike Esox lucius L. in >3800 km of French rivers across 7 years were compared to assess the effect of recreational fisheries stocking programmes on wild pike populations. A positive relationship was found between the additive effect of stocking and the size of the stocked pike. However, the stocking programmes implemented in France by recreational fishery managers from 2008 to 2013 increased the probability of pike occurring in the river network, without increasing abundance in well-established pike populations, because pike stocked in their early-life stages were used in most of the stocking programmes.  相似文献

Fish stocking and regulation of fishing activities are widely implemented by freshwater fisheries authorities who have to protect aquatic communities. The effects of fish management on fish communities have not received sufficient attention. As a result of two datasets, one from EU Water Framework Directive (WFD) monitoring surveys, and one from a French survey targeting angler's associations, this study investigated the impacts of both fishing intensity and fish stocking on fish communities in French lakes. Both co-inertia analysis and community size spectra analysis, showed that: (i) stocking does not contribute to the standing stocks for five of the six most stocked fish species in France; and (ii) neither fishing intensity nor fish stocking lead to a change in the proportion of large and small fish. The results support alternative methods being promoted to enhance native fish populations.  相似文献

Abstract The population dynamics of culture-based fisheries are studied by means of a mathematical model, which incorporates explicit sub-models for density-dependent individual growth and size-dependent mortality. The model applies to populations of carps, i.e. common carp, Chinese carps, and Indian major carps, and coregonids.
The effects on production of stocking density and size of seed fish, fishing mortality, and size at harvesting are studied in a model population of carp. Management implications of the modelling results are emphasized. An adaptive approach to management, involving judicious experimentation with stocking and harvesting regimes, is proposed to gain information on the dynamics of actual fisheries, and to optimize their production.  相似文献

Aquaculture is a multifaceted, dynamic food production sector in Europe. The average annual growth rate of aquaculture production in Western Europe was 5.5% between 1988 and 1998, while in Eastern Europe production declined by 56% during the same period. The main growth in aquaculture production has taken place in the marine environment, particularly in the expanding salmon, Salmo salar L., industry of Northern Europe. Inland aquaculture only contributed 19% of the total aquaculture production in 1998. Trout in Western Europe, and common carp, Cyprinus carpio L., in Eastern Europe are the dominant species in inland aquaculture. Inland fisheries production has been stagnant in Western Europe and has declined considerably in Eastern Europe. The importance of recreational fisheries is increasing all over Europe, although no reliable data are available on angler catches. The major interactions between aquaculture and fisheries are pollution by untreated effluents from farms and impacts on indigenous fish stocks. The conflict is decreasing as more advanced systems are used in inland aquaculture, including water recirculation and effluent treatment. The positive benefit of aquaculture is that the sector supports extensive stocking programmes in commercial and recreational fisheries all over Europe.  相似文献
