Making space for freshwater biodiversity in low-income fishing economies

Randall E. Brummett

Summary: Freshwater biodiversity and the food system it supports are facing significant threats globally. Overfishing and environmental degradation have damaged ecosystem structures. Local politicians are hesitant to enforce regulations that would reduce fishing pressure and harm fishing communities. Aquaculture can address food supply issues, but has previously had negative environmental impacts. Modern aquaculture can utilize existing infrastructure to increase food production and create employment opportunities, facilitating policies that protect both food production and aquatic biodiversity.

Assessing the role of supplementation stocking: A perspective

Julie E. Claussen et al.

Summary: While stocking hatchery-cultured fish is known to increase fish populations, evidence suggests that it often fails to boost naturally reproducing populations. Despite this, fish stocking remains a common practice in fisheries management programs, even as wild fish populations and other aquatic organisms are at risk due to habitat loss and overexploitation. This perspective piece highlights the genetic and ecological risks associated with stocking programs and proposes institutional changes to assess and manage these risks for the conservation of aquatic biodiversity.

Stocking in inland food fisheries of South and Southeast Asia: issues, risks, and rewards

Robert Ian Arthur et al.

Summary: Inland fisheries in South and Southeast Asia are important for food supply and often involve extensive stocking. While stocking can provide additional food sources, incentives for management, and income opportunities, it also carries risks such as avoiding addressing the underlying degradation of fisheries and transforming the nature of fisheries. These transformations can degrade environments, alter benefits distribution, and marginalize fishers.

Do anglers and managers think similarly about stocking, habitat management and harvest regulations? Implications for the management of community-governed recreational fisheries

Thomas Klefoth et al.

Summary: Perceptions about fishery management directions can differ between anglers and fisheries managers. In Germany, the interaction between anglers and elected fisheries managers in fishing clubs is particularly strong. A survey conducted in Lower Saxony revealed that while both anglers and fisheries managers supported conservation objectives and pro-stocking beliefs, they differed in their pro-ecological beliefs and the perceived functionality of habitat management and harvest regulations. Conflicts may arise when decisions deviate from anglers' perceptions, and joint experiments in fisheries management could help bridge the gap.

Ecosystem-based management outperforms species-focused stocking for enhancing fish populations

Johannes Radinger et al.

Summary: Ecosystem-based management is costly, but its effectiveness compared to traditional species-focused alternatives in conservation is uncertain. This study conducted large-scale experiments in fish conservation, finding that adding coarse woody habitats did not enhance fish abundance, while creating shallow water habitat consistently improved the abundance of juvenile fish. Species-focused fish stocking as an alternative approach completely failed. The findings question the efficacy of species-focused conservation actions in aquatic ecosystems, and recommend ecosystem-based habitat management.

Dysfunctional information feedbacks cause the emergence of management panaceas in social-ecological systems: The case of fish stocking in inland recreational fisheries

Robert Arlinghaus et al.

Summary: Social-ecological systems are characterized by interconnections between social and ecological systems, where human actions feedback on ecosystems and leverage points must be identified to escape undesirable stable states. Key pathways characterizing social-ecological interactions in fish stocking management practices in Germany need to be addressed.

Assessing the Potential for Sustainable Aquaculture Development in Cambodia

Olivier M. Joffre et al.

Summary: The study found that fish farming in Cambodia mainly consists of small family farms raising carnivorous fish species or pangasius, using trash fish harvested from the wild. Most fish seed and feed are imported, causing domestic producers to struggle to compete. The farmed fish in Cambodia are mostly sold live, and face challenges competing with imported farmed fish. The capture fisheries sector employs more people than aquaculture, and limited space for aquaculture presents obstacles for its expansion in Cambodia.

Production trends and technical efficiencies of culture-based fisheries in five tropical irrigation reservoirs: A case study from Sri Lanka

K. B. Chandrani Pushpalatha et al.

Summary: Culture-based fisheries (CBF) are increasingly seen as a strategy to enhance inland fisheries, particularly in tropical Asia. In Sri Lanka, despite an increase in CBF production in irrigation reservoirs, optimal yields have not been achieved. The study suggests that greater efficiencies in input management could further increase CBF production.
