2/26/2016 Tom Bush to Ban Divers Is Absulety Dumb, Every Diver On To ban divers is absulety dumb, every diver on Capt SL8Rs picks trash fishing line beer cans and beer bottles on every dive, spear fisherman are lucky to be able to get one possibly two fish when they go on a boating trip the amount of money they spend on spearguns and taxes is enormous and you take this away would put a lot of people out of work 2/26/2016 Tom bush and I never see them destroying the wreath contrary they're always picking up the trash Hi saw an article THE PELICAN about regulation re scuba and shooting fish.. Man wrote' PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE THAT SHOOTING FISH ON SCUBA IS VERY DIFFICULT" BOY OH BOY THAT IS NOT TRUE MOST HAVE A SPEAR GUNS.. IN THE BAHAMAS YOU CANT USE A SPEAR GUN WITH SCUBA ONLY A HAWAIIAN SLING... AT LEAST THE FISH HAVE A 2/25/2016 ROXANN CHANCE. YES REGULATE THAT.. Your message is outstanding but in your list of highest threats you do not list the massive invasion of lionfish. You just barely mention their existance. Look at the studies already done on lionfish. Lionfish are the main threat to our delicate ecosystem. Although there is more awareness now than a few years ago, volunteer removal, derbies and commercial harvest for human consumption are not enough. A bounty needs to be paid to incentivize every available diver to kill as 2/6/2016 David Garrett many as posible. Www.lionfisheliminators.org Why don't you people go after the ones that approve of dumping lake Okeechobee. Make a difference there instead of trying to ban fishing/spearfishing. Also the commercial fisheries and their lobbyist are another good target and probably 2/1/2016 steve maldonado cause biggest impact. .

  • Whale Sharks Rhincodon Typus Aggregate to Feed on Fish Spawn in Belize
    MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Vol. 215: 275–282, 2001 Published May 31 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Whale sharks Rhincodon typus aggregate to feed on fish spawn in Belize William D. Heyman1,*, Rachel T.

Johannes4 1The Nature Conservancy, 62 Front Street, Punta Gorda, Belize 2Environment Department, University of York, c/o Box 170, Punta Gorda, Belize 3Department of Geological Sciences and Marine Science Program, University of South Carolina, Columbia, South Carolina 29208, USA 4R. E. Johannes Pty Ltd, 8 Tyndall Court, Bonnet Hill, Tasmania 7053, Australia ABSTRACT: This study confirms reports by fishermen of a large and predictable aggregation of whale sharks Rhincodon typus along the Belize Barrier Reef. Although whale sharks are rarely sighted at this location during most of the year, we counted as many as 25 whale sharks in a 50 m diameter area on 1 occasion and tagged 6 sharks during a 22 min period on another. The whale shark aggregation coincides seasonally and temporally with a multispecies reef-fish spawning aggregation at a reef promontory, Gladden Spit, at sunset, during the full and last-quarter moon periods of April and May each year. We report here, for the first time, that whale sharks feed on the freshly released spawn of cubera snappers Lutjanus cyanopterus and dog snappers L. jocu (Lutjanidae), and have documented the phenomenon with still and digital video photography of hundreds of feeding events. There is consensus locally that this remarkable interaction is in need of immediate protection from overfishing of snappers and unregulated tourism development. Our continued investigations are providing management recommendations for a new marine reserve at the site.

Abstract Invasive red lionfish (P. volitans) were captured by Hawaiian sling in the coastal waters of Vieques Puerto Rico. Specimens were weighed, measured for length, and dissected to determine sex and recover stomach contents for identification. Vieques Puerto Rico has the Atlantic Ocean on the north side, and the Caribbean on the south. We compared the measured parameters and found that there were no significant differences between fishes captured in the Atlantic versus the Caribbean. While there appeared to be a difference in the frequency of invertebrates eaten on two sides of Vieques, it was not statistically significant.
