Distribution pattern of shrimps and fish among Avicennia and Rhizophora microhabitats in the Pagbilao mangroves, Philippines
(Elsevier, 1999)
For sustainable management of mangrove ecosystems, there is a pressing need to increase our knowledge of fish and invertebrates associated with this system. This study sampled microhabitats (89–258 m<sup>2</sup>) ...
Are mangroves worth replanting? The direct economic benefits of a community-based reforestation project
(Cambridge University Press, 2006)
Competition for coastal land use and overexploitation have reduced or degraded mangrove coverage throughout much of their distribution, especially in South-east Asia. Timber production was the initial motivation for early ...
Ethnobiology, socio-economics and management of mangrove forests: A review
(Elsevier, 2008)
There is growing research interest in the ethnobiology, socio-economics and management of mangrove forests. Coastal residents who use mangroves and their resources may have considerable botanical and ecological knowledgeable ...
A review of mangrove rehabilitation in the Philippines: successes, failures and future prospects
(Springer, 2008)
From half a million hectares at the turn of the century, Philippine mangroves have declined to only 120,000 ha while fish/shrimp culture ponds have increased to 232,000 ha. Mangrove replanting programs have thus been ...
Seasonal abundance, distribution and recruitment of mud crabs (Scylla spp.) in replanted mangroves
(Elsevier, 2006)
The abundance and distribution of mud crabs were studied in a replanted mangrove forest in Buswang, Aklan, Philippines. Two fishing gears, lift nets and bamboo traps, were used to monitor relative abundance of Scylla spp. ...
Effect of different mangrove-to-pond area ratios on influent water quality and WSSV occurrence in Penaeus monodon semi-intensive farms using the greenwater culture technique
(Elsevier, 2012)
White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) has been affecting the shrimp industry worldwide for two decades now. It continues to bring economic losses to affected farms. Despite the many studies on its epidemiology, there is no ...
Baseline assessment of fisheries for three species of mud crabs (Scylla spp.) in the mangroves of Ibajay, Aklan, Philippines
(University of Miami, Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, 2007)
Stock enhancement through habitat restoration and habitat release have both been considered as approaches to the management of declining Scylla spp. Prior to stock enhancement trials, the present study was conducted to ...
Size and diel differences in activity patterns of Metapenaeus ensis, Penaeus latisulcatus and P. merguiensis
(Taylor & Francis, 2000)
The nursery function of mangroves as shelter has been postulated to explain the positive correlation between shrimp catches and mangrove area. This study was undertaken to document shelter use and other activities in ...
Coastal ecosystem-based management with nonlinear ecological functions and values
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2008)
A common assumption is that ecosystem services respond linearly to changes in habitat size. This assumption leads frequently to an “all or none” choice of either preserving coastal habitats of converting them to human use. ...
Non-linearity in ecosystem services: temporal and spatial variability in coastal protection
(Ecological Society of America, 2009)
Natural processes tend to vary over time and space, as well as between species. The ecosystem services these natural processes provide are therefore also highly variable. It is often assumed that ecosystem services are ...
