Building sustainable fisheries in Florida's coral reef ecosystem: Positive signs in the dry tortugas
"In a series of synoptic research cruises including 4000 research dives, we surveyed reef-fish populations and habitats before and 3 yrs after 2001 implementation of no-take marine reserves covering approximately 566 km2 in the Dry Tortugas, Florida. Spec...
Coral reef fish assemblage shifts and declines in Biscayne National Park, Florida, USA
"Reef fish assemblage structure was assessed in 2006-2007 ("recent" period) in Biscayne National Park, Florida, USA , and compared with data collected from 1977 to 1981 ("historical" period) from the same location. Substantial differences were observed in...
Evaluation of average length as an indicator of exploitation status for the Florida coral reef fish community
Simulation and empirical analyses were conducted to evaluate the utility and robustness of average length (Lbar) of animals in the exploited population as an estimator of fishing mortality (F), and therefore as an indicator of exploitation status for Flor...
