Many tropical fisheries are data-poor and lack population demographic information needed for effective management and conservation. In this study we used mark-recapture of bonefish, Albula vulpes, an important species in catch-and-release recreational fisheries , to estimate capture probabilities. Moreover, for the first time we generated key demog...
Although bonefish, Albula vulpes, supports a culturally and socioeconomically important recreational fishery in the Caribbean Sea, little is known about their population characteristics. Understanding their population parameters are important for the creation of a sustainable fishery strategy in the Caribbean region. We used multistate modeling to...
Bonefish (Albula vulpes) is a socioeconomically important species that supports a data-poor recreational fishery in developing countries. Understanding how environmental variables influence its abundance and movement is important for better decision-making. This study used mark-recapture to examine the association between abiotic (temperature, sali...
Bonefish (Albula vulpes) are an important resource for catch-and-release fishing in the Caribbean Sea. Understanding movements within and between the Caribbean Coast (CC) and Chetumal-Corozal Bay (CB) in Mexico and Belize is crucial for identifying and protecting home ranges, migration routes, pre-spawning and spawning sites. We used a mixed-method...
El proyecto estudió los movimientos de peces entre el mar Caribe (áreas
protegidas de Xcalak, México y Bacalar Chico, Belice) y la bahía de Chetumal/Corozal,
también un área protegida (Santuario del Manatí), por marcado-recaptura, isótopos
estables y parasitología, con énfasis en el macabí (Albula vulpes), un recurso valioso y
vulnerable, así como...
To provide insights for artisanal recreational fisheries management, using Belize as a case study, our research addressed the following research question: What is the natural resource base in terms of the fish species, typology of users, and general management regulations comprising artisanal recreational fisheries in Belize? To answer it, a mixed...

We propose to study fish migrations between the Caribbean Sea (protected areas of Xcalak, Mexico and Bacalar Chico, Belize) and the Bay of Chetumal/Corozal, itself a protected area (manatee sanctuary), at the Mexican-Belizean border, by means of mark-and-recapture, stable isotopes, and parasitology, with emphasis on bonefish (Albula vulpes), a species listed by the IUCN as Near Threatened. Understanding the connectivity between these systems will benefit local fishermen (subsistence artisanal fisheries as well as sport fishing). We aim not just at a description of seasonal migrations, but also at finding changes between the present and the situation about a decade ago, for which we have suitable data, in order to gauge the effect of the opening of a direct communication to the sea through the Zaragoza Canal.
