Stock Enhancement and Sea Ranching

Abstract

Introduction: Can the conditions for a successful enhancement or sea ranching be defined? Section 1: Theoretical considerations: Recruitment limitation as the theoretical basis for stock enhancement Ecological framework for enhancement potentials Genetic considerations in enhancement and ranching of marine and anadromous species Genetic diversity and the Norwegian sea ranching programme: an evaluation Rationale for an experimental approach to stock enhancement with examples from Hawaii Section 2: Geographic overviews: Marine ranching, a global perspective Outline of sea farming in Japan Effectiveness of Japan's stock enhancement programs: current perspectives How can stock enhancement and sea ranching help sustain and increase coastal fisheries? Section 3: Species studies: 3.1 Salmonides: Enhancement program and stock management of salmonid populations in Japan Distribution, migration and growth in the North Pacific Ocean of Sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) produced from the lacustrine form May stocking programs effect the predator stocks and decrease the survival of the wild Atlantic salmon juveniles? 3.2 Marine fish: Release strategy for Japanese flounder fry in stock enhanchement programs Fish quality and stock effectiveness: behavioural approach To what extent should stock enhancement be used to improve the finfish catch rates of Western Australian recreational fishers?
