The core of a multibillion dollar sport fishing industry, tarpon
and bonefish, two of the earth's oldest creatures, are experiencing
obvious and precipitous population decline. Experienced anglers in
the Florida Keys suggest a drop of approximately 90-95 percent for
the bonefish population over the last 65 years. Despite the
economic value of the industry and scientific value of these
ancient fish, very little information is available about their
movements and migrations, population dynamics, life histories, and
reproductive habits. With contributions from some of the world's
leading experts, Biology and Management of the World Tarpon and
Bonefish Fisheries synthesizes existing scientific literature,
presents new perspectives, and introduces original scientific
research to guide fishery management and conservation efforts for
building sustainable fisheries. Divided into five sections, the
book begins with an overview of the state of the world's fisheries
for tarpon and bonefish. The second section reviews the biology and
life history dynamics of these fish with contributions on
conservation genetics, reproductive biology and early life
development, as well as resolving gaps in evolutionary lineage and
taxonomy. Covering population dynamics and resource ecology, the
third section discusses migratory patterns and the use of tagging.
Highlighting the lore and appeal of these fascinating sport fish,
the book concludes by introducing a myriad of proposals designed to
improve fishery sustainability by conducting census, enforcing
catch-and-release programs, and supporting science-based management
decision making. Promoting a better understanding of the biological
and fishery management issues that are paramount to the sustainable
future of these valuable fishery resources, Biology and Management
of the World Tarpon and Bonefish Fisheries provides a foundation
for discussion and broad communication about the past present and
future of these magnificent fish.
