The Intensification of Fishing and the Rise of Tourism: Competing Coastal Livelihoods in the Calamianes Islands, Philippines (2010, background): “Particular examples of these two broad trends in Southeast Asia include the expansion of highvalue commodity fisheries into formerly remote areas (Eder 2008; Fougerès 2005; Lowe 2000), the intensification of aquaculture (Fougerès 2005; Pomeroy et al. 2006; Sheriff et al. 2008), and the declining sta”
Advances in Breeding and Rearing Marine Ornamentals (2011, background): “Aquaculture is commonly considered a potential alternative, as the captive production of some of the most heavily collected species would certainly contribute to relieving the current fishing pressure on coral reefs (Tlusty 2002; Pomeroy et al. 2006).”
Aquaculture: a newly emergent food production sector—and perspectives of its impacts on biodiversity and conservation (2012, background): “The market demands of the LFFRT were primarily met with from wild caught resources, often harvested using destructive fishing methods, such as dynamiting and poisoning (Jones and Steven 1997), leading to significant destruction of the fragile coral reef habitats (McManus et al. 1997; Pet 1997; Mous ”
