On the Hook: Sustainable Fishing in Papua New Guinea
http://www.sciencenewsline.com/news/2016022916520029.htmlA multi-disciplinary team from James Cook University has been busy unlocking the secrets of the Papuan Black Bass, one of the world's toughest sportfish.
The group is working in West New Britain province in Papua New Guinea, looking to develop an eco-tourism industry around the fish.
Two new studies from the scientists say that although the fish is a mystery, with almost nothing known about it, there may be ways to commercialise it that benefit local communities.
The team brought together researchers from diverse fields including fisheries science, ecosystem ecology, natural resource management, governance, tourism, economics, business management, and social science.
