Reduction of Equatorial Obduction by Atmospheric Intraseasonal Oscillations in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2022
AbstractObduction is the large‐scale, irreversible upward water transport from the permanent pycnocline to the surface mixed layer. Using Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM), this study explores the impact of atmospheric intraseasonal oscillations (ISOs) on the Pacific equatorial obduction that plays a fundamental role in regulating the tropical ...

Recreational billfish catches and gamefishing facilities of Pacific Island nations in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean

Marine and Freshwater Research, 2003
Gamefishing is a developing industry for many of the Pacific Island nations, with a number of countries encouraging the industry with tax relief and tourism promotion. This paper was prepared to provide a preliminary appraisal of gamefish facilities and recreational billfish catches of Pacific Island countries in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean ...

Coasean Approaches to Ending Overfishing: Bigeye Tuna Conservation in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2020
AbstractBigeye tuna in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean were perceived as overfished for nearly 20 years, in large part because of incidental catch in the much larger skipjack tuna fishery.

Managing tuna fisheries: a new strategy for the Western and Central Pacific Ocean

Marine Policy, 2000
The paper describes a bioeconomic model of the western and central Pacific tuna fisheries in which three main gear types exploit four main tuna species following migratory paths through the Exclusive Economic Zones of 12 Pacific Island nations. The results of the model suggest that the net value of the fisheries can be increased substantially by ...

Population genetic and phylogeographic structure of wahoo, Acanthocybium solandri, from the western central Atlantic and central Pacific Oceans

Marine Biology, 2005
The wahoo, Acanthocybium solandri (Cuvier, 1832), is a pelagic, highly migratory, scombroid fish, distributed worldwide throughout tropical and warm temperate seas. To evaluate population genetic and phylogeographic structure against a null hypothesis of panmixia, the entire mitochondrial DNA control-region (~890 base pairs) was sequenced for 231 wahoo.
