Fish larval rearing represents a critical stage due to the extreme fragility of larvae, small size, and specific nutritional needs during rapid growth. Successful larviculture requires understanding ontogenetic changes to adapt rearing practices and optimize larval development. Thus, the objective of this study was to describe the ontogeny and allometric growth of hatchery-reared meagre ( Argyrosomus regius ) larvae from hatch...

Debate currently rages over the development potential of Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFP) in tropical forests. Proponents of particular "solutions" can refer to evidence (case studies, data) which tend to support their interpretation of events and relationships. Recommendations thus frequently depend on how data are classified and interpreted. Inaccurate or incomplete classification leads to defective subsequent theories, mod...

Sustainable development is a process of meeting the continuing, evolving needs of people while protecting and enhancing the resource base on which all production of goods and environmental services depends. Good forest management is an essential part of the sustainable development process. Given the need to share the benefits from forests, and given the uncertainty we face concerning the future, a participatory adaptive manage...
