Abstract
The accurate identification of harvested species is essential for effective fisheries
management. This guide has been developed to assist in the identification of
the most commonly encountered species of coastal sharks, rays and bony fishes
in artisanal and subsistence fisheries catches and domestic fish markets in the
Pacific Islands region. While this guide has primarily been designed for Pacific
Island fisheries and environmental officers tasked with undertaking surveys
of catches or fish sold at market stalls, it will likely be useful for university
students, non-governmental partners, fishers, and members of the public with
a general interest in fish. This guide is intended to help fish surveyors working
in the Pacific to more accurately identify the individual species they encounter,
thereby resulting in more highly skilled surveyors, improved fisheries data
collection and improved management of the region’s coastal fisheries resources.
