Article
Full-text available
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...

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...
Article
Full-text available
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...
Article
Full-text available
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...
Article
Full-text available
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...
Article
Full-text available
Coastal fishery resources shared by Belize and Mexico emphasize the need for bi‐national conservation and management strategies. We used the recreational flats fishery as a model to: (1) evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of a mixed‐methods approach for fishery conservation and management and (2) propose a general strategic plan to guide conserv...
Article
Full-text available
Isopods infest fish worldwide, but their role as disease vectors remains poorly understood. Here, we describe infestation of Atlantic bonefish (Albula vulpes) in Belize with isopods in two of three locations studied, with infestation rates of 15 and 44%. Isopods fed aggressively, and infested fish showed missing scales and scars. Gross morphologic...
Article
Effective modern conservation depends on active stakeholder participation. Although stakeholder engagement is increasing, the extent of this engagement and the successful application of outcomes to science and management varies regionally and among types of fisheries. A collaborative model that emphasizes knowledge coproduction with stakeholders be...
Article
Most research on pharmaceutical presence in the environment to date has focused on 43 smaller scale assessments of freshwater and riverine systems, relying mainly on assays 44 of water samples, while studies in marine ecosystems and of exposed biota are sparse. 45 This study investigated the pharmaceutical burden in bonefish (Albula vulpes), an 46...
Article
Full-text available
Understanding movement and dispersal is critical for fisheries management and conservation, but many studies rely on tagging and telemetry, which can be costly and labor-intensive. Recent research on Atlantic bonefish (Albula vulpes) has shown that gill microbiomes vary among populations, raising the possibility that microbial communities might pro...
Article
Full-text available
Information on fish movements is essential for effective spatial management, including marine-protected areas. Unfortunately, this information is missing for many species of management interest. This lack of information is true for fish species that support the economically important, catch and release, recreational flats fishery in Cuba. Here, we...
Article
Full-text available
Tropical and subtropical coastal flats are shallow regions of the marine environment at the intersection of land and sea. These regions provide myriad ecological goods and services, including recreational fisheries focused on flats-inhabiting fishes such as bonefish, tarpon, and permit. The cascading effects of climate change have the potential to...
Article
Full-text available
Atlantic Bonefish (Albula vulpes) are economically important due to their popularity with recreational anglers. In the State of Florida, USA, bonefish population numbers declined by approximately 60% between the 1990s and 2015. Habitat loss, water quality impairment, chemical inputs, and other anthropogenic factors have been implicated as causes, b...

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...
