FIJI Fisheries Bibliography FIJI Fisheries Bibliography COMPILED BY Robyn McDowell With contributions from Ganeshan Rao Laxmi Kumar Nirmala Gounder PIMRIS The University of the South Pacific Suva, Fiji 1993 PREFACE The Fiji Fisheries Bibliography is an initial attempt to document the available literature on fisheries in Fiji. It has been compiled and published at the request of the Fisheries Division, Ministry of Primary Industries, Fiji. Entries include items pertaining to fisheries in a broad sense and specifically to the geographical area of Fiji. Many of the references are to unpublished reports or "grey literature". Although we have tried to be as comprehensive as possible, some items will inevitably have been missed. Various libraries, archives, institutions and databases were searched for relevant items including: Fiji Fisheries offices, University of the South Pacific, Forum Fisheries Agency, South Pacific Applied Geoscience Commission, South Pacific Commission, UNDP/Regional Fisheries Support Programme Office, Suva City Library and the Fiji National Archives. The main body of the bibliography is organized in broad subject groupings based on the Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Information System ASFIS Subject Categories and Scope Descriptions. An outline of the subject organization is provided. There are two indexes: an author index and a subject index. The subject index uses descriptors from Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Thesaurus, supplemented with common species names and concepts specific to Fiji. The majority of citations have a location code which indicates where the item was sighted and verified. Other locations were added where known, but not comprehensively. Items without location codes have not been verified. A key to the location codes has been provided. The Fiji Fisheries Bibliography has been compiled as a database using CDS/ISIS software. Further references will be added as they are brought to the attention of the compilers. Any contributions to the bibliography should be addressed to: PIMRIS University of the South Pacific Library P.O. Box 1168 Suva, Fiji There are many people we would like to acknowledge for their support and contributions: the Fiji Fisheries staff, in particular Krishna Swamy and Subodh Sharma; our library colleagues at the Forum Fisheries Agency, the South Pacific Applied Geoscience Commission, the South Pacific Commission and The University of the South Pacific; and Bob Gillett of the FAO/UNDP Regional Fishery Support Programme Office. The International Centre for Ocean Development (ICOD) and the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) are gratefully acknowledged for support in funding this publication.

Weston, CT Phoenix Mt. Lakes, NJ Vancouver Toronto Fiji is emerging as the hot spot in the Pacific. Tourist arrivals are booming and many resorts are reaching full capacity. The introduction of low cost airlines, coupled with the appeal of Fiji as both a safe haven and one of the few remaining unspoiled tourist destinations is driving demand. Developers and investors appear enthusiastic about market prospects. This enthusiasm is also being stimulated by the Fiji Government, which is offering generous financial and tax incentives to encourage new development. Situated in the heart of the South Pacific, the Republic of Fiji comprises 333 islands. Sunny, unique and friendly, the Fiji Islands are one thousand miles of pristine white sand beaches, fabulous coral gardens and azure lagoons. Fiji enjoys a tropical maritime climate, without undue extremes of humidity and temperature. The population of Fiji is approximately 832,000 people, most of whom live on the two main islands of Viti Levu and Vanua Levu and comprise a combination of native Fijians (53%), Indians (40%) and a balance of other races. In 1970 Fiji was granted independence and became a self-governing nation within the Commonwealth, after 96 years of British rule.

  • Vuda and Waya Qoliqoli
    Community initiative to create employment stability: Vuda and Waya Qoliqoli The communities of Vuda and Waya are the traditional resource owners of a large section of the Mamanuca and lower Yasawa islands, north of Lautoka town, predominant tourism development areas of Fiji. In the 1990s, community leaders, working in partnership with early local tourism pioneers such as Mr Dan Costello (Beachcomber Island), decided that in order to support sustainable development and employment in the area, they would declare no-fishing areas around resorts. Initially, in 1996, three islands were declared no-fishing areas by the traditional leader, the Tui Vuda, Ratu Sir Tavaiqia, who wrote an open letter saying "I confirm that the waters around the islands of Tai, Eluvuka and Kadavu Lailai in Nadi Bay are now either Fisheries Reserves or are to be designated Fisheries Reserves and therefore no fish, shell fish or octopus (sasala ni waitui) are to be taken from those waters in that area of sea being 400 m from the shoreline of those islands." These islands are now known as Beachcomber (Tai), Treasure (Eluvuka) and Bounty (Kadavu Lailai) Island Resorts. Aerial photograph of the protected reef within the Marine Protected Area at Treasure Island Resort. © Treasure Island Resort These first reserves were later joined by no-fishing areas fronting newer resorts at South Sea Island Resort (Vunivadra Island), Tivua Island Resort, and Vomo Island Resort. To the north, on Wayalailai and Kuata Islands, similar protected areas were formed at Wayalailai Ecohaven, Naqalia Lodge and Kuata Barefoot Island Resort (Fig. 1). Most of these reserves only cover shallow fringing reefs from beach to the deepwater drop off, but a new, larger area including an expanse of open sea and dolphin habitat was declared in February 2017.

  • 80 Harding, Et Al. Silliman Journal Vol. 44 No. 2 2003 REEF CHECK
    80 Harding, et al. REEF CHECK DATA REVEALS RAPID RECOVERY FR OM CORAL BLEACHING IN THE MAMANUCAS, FIJI. S imon P. Harding, Jean-Luc Solandt, Ryan C.J. Walker, Dianne Walker, Jessica Taylor, Simon Haycock, Melanie T. Davis, and Peter S. Raines ABSTRACT wenty two fringing reef sites within the Mamanuca TIslands, western Fiji were surveyed during 2001 and 2002, using Reef Check methods. A mean increase of 14.3% in hard coral cover was recorded over the 12-month period. This increase in hard coral cover suggests a significant recovery of scleractinian coral colonies that were originally impacted by the 2000 mass bleaching episode in the South Pacific. The event was reported to have caused >80% coral mortality in the southern and eastern regions of Fiji. Between 2001 and 2002 the coral reefs of the Mamanucas progressed from “poor” to “fair” in accordance with the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) system for describing the health of coral reefs. Our results also show that trained non-specialist volunteers undertaking marine surveys such as Reef Check can competently collect simple, yet important quantitative data regarding the physical health of coral reefs. Introduction Fiji is one of the wealthiest countries in the South Pacific. The nation’s wealth is partly attributed to its extensive marine resources, which generate significant revenue through tourism and marine resource utilization. For example, Fiji is the world’s second largest exporter of live reef products for the aquarium trade, after Indonesia (Sulu et al., 2002). Importantly, Fiji’s marine environments are a significant source of protein for local coastal populations, with subsistence catches estimated at Silliman Journal Vol.

    UPDATE ON HAWKSBILL NESTING ACTIVITIES IN FIJI by Susanna Piovano School of Marine Studies, The University of the South Pacific, Suva, Fiji Fiji, in the south Pacific Ocean, hosts nests from the critically endangered hawksbill sea turtle Eretmochelys imbricata. Nesting season occurs in the austral summer and usually starts in November, with the last hatchlings usually emerging from the nest in May. Even though no long-term monitoring program has been put in place in the country, it is known from villagers’ and fishery officers’ anecdotal records that the number of nests has dramatically decreased year after year. Elders in the villages remember when they were harvesting both eggs and “taku”, as hawksbill is locally known, from the beaches closest to the village; the same beaches where people about 40 years old or younger have never seen a nest. Sea turtles in Fiji are protected under a 10-year Moratorium that ends in December 2018, when management of sea turtles will be reviewed and discussed. This project aims at retrieving two key pieces of information that could allow managers to make scientific-driven decisions: 1) recent information on nesting activities occurring on the two main islands of Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, and 2) genetic characterization of the local population by using mitochondrial DNA. The project had a steep start in 2014, when targeting nesting females proved to be extremely challenging because of the very low number of nests laid on the twenty-eight sites chosen as reportedly hosting hawksbill nests. About 150-200 adult females were estimated to be part of the Fiji hawksbills population about twenty years ago.
