A high level policy document that provides guidance to the management and development of the deep water fisheries in the periods of 2017 - 2019
The Tonga Fisheries Sector Plan (TFSP) is a framework for increasing the sustainable shared benefits for the
Kingdom from optimal use of its living marine resources.
Recent studies have shown that many coral reefs are capable of
yielding a total fish catch of 18- 24 T.Km-2 (Hill, 1978; Alcala,
1981; Munro, 1987). There are, however, no estimates for the
productivity and yield of fishes associated with coral reefs in
French Polynesia. This study was designed to determine the fisheries yield from a part of the fringing reef on the island of Moorea, French Polynesia.
