Seasonal variability in global industrial fishing effort. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 Human beings are the dominant top predator in the marine ecosystem. Throughout most of the global ocean this predation is carried out by industrial fishing vessels, that can now be observed in unprecedented detail via satellite monitoring of Automatic ...

Mapping Fishing Effort through AIS Data. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Several research initiatives have been undertaken to map fishing effort at high spatial resolution using the Vessel Monitoring System (VMS). An alternative to the VMS is represented by the Automatic Identification System (AIS), which in the EU became ...

Optimal fishing effort benefits fisheries and conservation [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 The ecosystem effects of all commercial fishing methods need to be fully understood in order to manage our marine environments more effectively. The impacts associated with the most damaging mobile fishing methods are well documented leading to such ...

High-resolution app data reveal sustained increases in recreational fishing effort in Europe during and after COVID-19 lockdowns [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2023 It is well recognized that COVID-19 lockdowns impacted human interactions with natural ecosystems. One example is recreational fishing, which, in developed countries, involves approximately 10% of people. Fishing licence sales and observations at angling

Combining participatory and socioeconomic approaches to map fishing effort in small-scale fisheries. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Mapping the spatial allocation of fishing effort while including key stakeholders in the decision making process is essential for effective fisheries management but is difficult to implement in complex small-scale fisheries that are diffuse, informal and

On the standardization of the fishing effort [PDF]
Acta Amazonica, 2000 In this note we demonstrate that the use of an index to standardize the fishing effort using the cpue of a standard vessel or gear is mistaken, once the cpues- catch per unit of total effort after standardization is similar to cpues - catch per unit of ...

Characterizing fishing effort and spatial extent of coastal fisheries. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Biodiverse coastal zones are often areas of intense fishing pressure due to the high relative density of fishing capacity in these nearshore regions.

Recreational fishing effort and how management actions can affect it—Part 1: Theory
EDIS, 2023 Recreational fishing is especially important to Florida’s economy and ecosystems. One of the most important metrics of recreational fisheries is “effort”—defined as the number of trips taken during a time and place.
