Fish species identification
manual for deep-bottom snapper fishermen
by L. Chapman, A. Desurmont, Y.
Choi, P. Boblin, W. Sokimi and S. Beverly
The overall aim of
this manual is to improve and increase the amount and
accuracy of catch data provided by deep-bottom snapper fishers in the
Pacific Islands region, when they complete their catch and effort logsheets
(and to encourage those who do not complete logsheets to start doing
so). It will enable fishers to more accurately identify the fish they catch and
to record species previously not recorded because they did not know
what they were, or considered them insignificant or irrelevant.
The manual is
presented in eight tabbed sections for ease of use. Each
section starts with a list of the species covered in the section, with the
scientific and standard FAO English and French names — when there was
no FAO name for a species, the authors retained the name most
commonly used in the Pacific Islands region — and the FAO species code
to be used by fishers when completing their logsheets.Within each species
group, species that may be hard to distinguish have been presented on
opposite or adjoining pages to make identification easier. |
