Towards ecosystem-based fisheries management

Fish and Fisheries, 2004
AbstractPerformance measures and reference points for the management of target species are now widely used in the fisheries of the developed world. To move us closer to an ecosystem‐based fisheries management framework, we look at the prospects for expanding current single‐species approaches for target species, by considering nontarget species. We also

Ecosystem-based fisheries management and the precautionary approach in the Indian Ocean regional fisheries management organisations

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2020
The Indian Ocean hosts a wide range of living resources including fish stocks. Marine resources contribute significantly to economies and livelihoods, and seafood is a major source of protein in Indian Ocean nations. Fisheries resources in the Indian Ocean have started showing symptoms of depletion.

An Approach to Ecosystem-Based Fishery Management [PDF]

, 2006
Marine scientists and policymakers are encouraging ecosystem-based fishery management (EBFM), but there is limited guidance on how to operationalize the concept. We adapt financial portfolio theory as a method for EBFM that accounts for species interdependencies, uncertainty, and sustainability constraints.

Strong fisheries management and governance positively impact ecosystem status [PDF]

Fish and Fisheries, 2017
Fisheries have had major negative impacts on marine ecosystems, and effective fisheries management and governance are needed to achieve sustainable fisheries, biodiversity conservation goals and thus good ecosystem status. To date, the IndiSeas programme

Ecosystem-Based Fishery Management

Science, 2004
Ecosystem-based fishery management (EBFM) is a new direction for fishery management, essentially reversing the order of management priorities so that management starts with the ecosystem rather than a target species. EBFM aims to sustain healthy marine ecosystems and the fisheries they support. Pikitch et al .

Toward Ecosystem-Based Fisheries Management

2020
This concluding chapter builds on preceding chapters to offer thoughts on the challenges and opportunities in moving toward Ecosystem-based Fisheries Management (EBFM). The approach throughout the book has centered on describing fundamental building blocks that can be assembled in different ways to construct models to address specific management ...

Ecosystem‐based fisheries management in the Northwest Atlantic

Fish and Fisheries, 2011
AbstractThe northwest Atlantic has had a notable history of living marine resource (LMR) exploitation. There have been calls for evaluating and improving approaches to manage those resources as stocks have undergone sequential depletion, with some dramatic instances of stock declines. The need for more holistic ecosystem‐based approaches to manage LMRs

The art of ecosystem-based fishery management

Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, 2014
The perception that ecosystem-based fishery management is too complex and poorly defined remains a primary impediment to its broadscale adoption and implementation. Here, I attempt to offer potential solutions to these concerns. Specifically, I focus on pathways that can contribute to overall simplification by moving toward integrated place-based ...

Ecosystem-based Fisheries Management: A Model for Managing Tasmania's Wild Capture Fisheries?

2009
Ecosystem-based fisheries management (EBFM) has been identified by managers, scholars and policy-makers as an approach that can help reverse the trend in declining fish stocks globally. EBFM is an integrated approach that requires managers to look beyond the immediate impacts of fishing on target stocks to examine their impacts on by-catch and non ...

An empirical approach to ecosystem-based fishery management

Ecological Economics, 2008
Abstract Marine scientists and policymakers are encouraging ecosystem-based fishery management (EBFM), but there is limited guidance on how to operationalize the concept. We adapt financial portfolio theory as a method for EBFM that accounts for species interdependencies, uncertainty, and sustainability constraints.
