Identification of Aggregation Sites of Juvenile White Sharks and their Relationship with Adult Sharks in the Eastern North Pacific

The aim of the project is to couple satellite and acoustic tagging methods with genetic analyses to document the habitat of the juvenile white sharks in the Eastern North Pacific.

Linking Conservation and Livelihoods in Lakshadweep's Tuna Fishery: Community-Based Monitoring of Baitfish Populations Along a Gradient of Fishing Pressure

Through this project we aim to gain a better understanding of baitfish populations in the Lakshadweep archipelago in light of physical, ecological and anthropogenic impacts. By involving local fisher folk in the research, we plan to establish long-term community-based monitoring of baitfish and eventually extend this to other marine resources in the island system.

Genetic Variability and Conservation of the Misty Grouper (Hyporthodus Mystacinus) in the Galapagos Islands

To determine the population health of the Misty Grouper in the Galapagos Islands using genetic variation, and to then make management recommendations to the Galapagos National Park and Galapagos Marine Reserve.

Improving Habitat for Caspian Sturgeons

In many water withdrawal sites along the Kura river water users use big pumping pipes that suck young sturgeon fishes into the pipes. This causes straight death for all the sturgeons sucked by pipes. The proposed project has a goal to establish on the inlets of withdrawal pipes special equipments that will prevent young fish to enter into pipes.

Proposition and Promotion of Wildlife-Conservation Techniques of Census and Observation for the Research on Water Inhabitants of National Park

The project aims to prevent accidental damaging and death among water organisms in “Gomilshansky lisy” National Park, to create a network of routes and grounds for further scientific monitoring of water inhabitants and to enhance the credibility of the National Park in nature conservation among local community and other natural reserves in Ukraine.

Conserving the Labeobarbus Spp Flock of Lake Tana through Better Understanding of their Migratory Behavior and Participation of the Community: The Case of Gilgel Abay River

The aim of the project is to conserve the migratory fish flock of Labeobarbus spp.in Lake Tana, Ethiopia through study of their ecology and creating awareness among stakeholders.

Molecular Diversity of Gambusia Fishes in Cuba. Relevance for Conservation and its Use in Vector Control Plans

The aim of the project is to clarify and improve the systematic knowledge of Gambusia fishes in Cuban archipelago and generate an updated distribution map of relevant species and populations useful to health and conservation authorities for successful management strategies of this fishes.

Assessing Impact of Fisheries on Target Fish Populations and Socio Economic Drivers of Fisheries

The project aims to provide with a reliable baseline for the impact of fishing on fish demographics and to understand the associated socio-economic drivers of the industry.

Habitat Uses and Migratory Patterns of Patagonian Chondrichthyans: New Conservation Strategies Based on Satellite Telemetry

The aim of the project is to create new conservation strategies for sharks and rays of the San Matias Gulf (Patagonia) based on their habitat uses and migratory patterns using satellite technology. This information and the commercial fishery fleet movements will be linked on time and space in a GIS.
