  • Crappie and Crappie Fishing
    Crappie & Crappie Fishing Crappie are among the most popular sport fishes in Texas. They are known by various names including white perch, sac-a-lait, calico bass, and paper-mouth. Two species are found in Texas, the white crappie (Pomoxis annularis) and black crappie (P. nigromaculatus). Black crap­ pie have irregular dark speck­ les and blotches on their sides. On white crappie, the dark markings consist of regularly arranged vertical bars. When in doubt, count the number of sharp dorsal spines at the front of a crappie’s dorsal fin. Black crappie have seven or eight spines while white crappie Young crappie feed on microscopic crustaceans called have five or six. During the spawning season, males of zooplankton.

Fac. Fish., Kagoshima Univ. Vol.29 pp. 81-121 (1980) Fishing Methods and Gears in Panay Island, Philippines*1 Gunzo Kawamura*2 and Teodora Bagarinao*3 Abstract The authors surveyed the fishing methods and gears in Panay and smaller neighboring islands in the Philippines in September-December 1979 and in March-May 1980. This paper is a report on the fishing methods and gears used in these islands, with special focus on the traditional and primitive ones. The term "fishing" is commonly used to mean the capture of many aquatic animals — fishes, crustaceans, mollusks, coelenterates, echinoderms, sponges, and even birds and mammals. Moreover, the harvesting of algae underwater or from the intertidal zone is often an important job for the fishermen. Fishing method is the manner by which the aquatic organisms are captured or collected; fishing gear is the implement developed for the purpose. Oftentimes, the gear alone is not sufficient and auxiliary instruments have to be used to realize a method. A fishing method can be applied by means of various gears, just as a fishing gear can sometimes be used in the appli cation of several methods. Commonly, only commercial fishing is covered in fisheries reports. Although traditional and primitive fishing is done on a small scale, it is still very important from the viewpoint of supply of animal protein.

    • SPC activities • The development of a semi-quantitative guideline for monitoring nearshore fish aggregating devices Jeff Kinch,1 Joelle Albert2 and Anne-Maree Schwarz3 Nearshore fish aggregating devices (FADs) are just that, a device for aggregating fish in nearshore areas. Nearshore FADs have been deployed in many Pacific Island countries and territories (PICTs) as as a tool to enhance food security and income for fishers and communities (Albert et al. 2014; Masu and Albert 2014; Bell et al. 2015; Cambell et al. 2016; Tilley et al. 2019), and to reduce pressure on coastal fisheries (Sokimi and Beverly 2010; Amos et al. 2014).
