“…Its sandy substrate shifts seasonally and poses hazards to the clams along the lowtide water margin. The area is also close to one of the translocation studies for the reef gastropod Trochus niloticus (Dolorosa et al, 2013).…”

Hippopus porcellanus is a rare and heavily exploited giant clam species with limited distribution range in the Indo-West Pacific Region. Overharvesting has resulted in the localized extinction of H. porcellanus in the Philippines, but its populations appeared to have recovered in Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park (TRNP) after more than 20 years of protection. As one of the least studied giant clam species, the shell dimension-live weight relationships were determined. In addition, the growth parameters of H. porcellanus in TRNP were monitored with the mark-recapture method. All three shell dimensions of H. porcellanus were good estimators of live weight. The von Bertallanfy growth parameters K (0.29) and L∞ (29.24 cm) were determined on the basis of 80 marked individuals recaptured twice within 2.5 years. Nearly 90% of marked clams survived at the end of the study. Studies on aspects of biology of other giant clams species at the park is suggested.

“…The effectiveness of stock enhancement greatly depends on the release strategy (habitat, animal size at release, season, etc. ), and recent evidence suggests coupling stock enhancement efforts with a network of marine reserves can improve outcomes by reducing mortality of released individuals (Dolorosa, Grant, & Gill, ).…”

Interactions and management for the future of marine aquaculture and capture fisheries

Aquaculture surpassed wild fisheries as the largest supplier of fish for human consumption in 2014 and is expected to supply the majority of seafood for future increases in demand. Marine and coastal aquaculture, collectively referred to as mariculture, currently represents just 36% of aquaculture production but is poised to expand in the decades ahead. One of the most commonly cited concerns regarding this likely expansion is ecological and socioeconomic interactions with wild‐capture fisheries. While attention has largely been drawn to high‐profile negative externalities from fed finfish and crustacean mariculture, not all marine‐based practices are equivalent. Empirical evidence for the different interactions between mariculture and wild fisheries is often sparse. While negative consequences can arise, positive synergies can also occur. By considering mariculture development in the context of fisheries interactions, we suggest that it is possible to minimize conflicts and maximize positive connections between the two sectors. We provide the first comprehensive synthesis of the interactions between mariculture and wild fisheries, characterizing the types of interactions, evaluating available empirical evidence and identifying where management (sector‐specific and cooperative) can play an important role. We highlight potential effects of mariculture on the efficiency, sustainability, and equity of seafood production and identify remaining knowledge gaps.
