Monitoring small‐scale fisheries through participatory, app‐based surveys in the tropical archipelago of São Tomé and Príncipe

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Small Island Developing States have limited capacity to monitor Small Scale Fisheries, despite their high dependence on marine resources. Participatory monitoring of Small Scale Fisheries can fill data gaps while integrating resource users into fisheries management.

NAMMCO Scientific Publications
The Norwegian High Seas Reference Fleet (HSRF) reported one minke whale (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) by-caught in demersal trawl fisheries and one in a longline in the period 2011–2020.

A species-selective trawl for demersal gadoid fisheries [PDF]

ICES Journal of Marine Science, 1998
Experiments were carried out during two cruises in 1995 to test a prototype species-selective bottom trawl for separating cod from haddock and saithe, in the Norwegian bottom trawl fisheries in the Barents Sea. A sorting system incorporating a horizontal square mesh panel (150 mm bar length) dividing the trawl’s body and extension sections into upper ...

Does nature shape risk preferences? Evidence from Chile, Norway, and Tanzania

Economic Inquiry, Volume 63, Issue 2, Page 568-590, April 2025.
Abstract Does exposure to a more risky environment affect risk preferences? Going beyond single‐case study evidence, we report results from five surveys conducted in three countries and link this with administrative data to study whether a link between exposure and preferences is detectable and widespread. We find no evidence for endogenous preferences

Demersal Fishing in Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction: A Comparative Analysis of Regional Fisheries Management Organisations

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
In areas beyond national jurisdiction, there are ten regional fisheries bodies (RFBs) responsible for the management of bottom fisheries (ABNJ). Eight of these organisations are further termed ‘Regional Fisheries Management Organisations’ (RFMOs) and ...

The Abrupt and Persistent Decline in Recruitment Success in Northeast Arctic Cod: A Review of Probable Causes

Fish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Most of the previously large cod stocks in the North Atlantic are depleted to very low levels. A notable exception has been the Northeast Arctic cod inhabiting the Barents Sea. This cod stock reached a record high level around 2013, but since then has declined sharply, with older fish being fished out and few new recruits entering the stock ...

Visual Modelling to Predict Behavioural Responses of Catsharks, Skates, and Plaice to Artificial Light for Use in Bycatch Reduction

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Light can be used to deter bycatch from fishing nets, but few studies have aimed to quantify how species view and respond to light. Here, we used visual models to predict how target (plaice Pleuronectes platessa) and bycatch (small‐spotted catshark Scyliorhinus canicular and undersized skates, Raja spp) species, captured in mixed demersal ...
