Making Public Interest Considerations in Merger Control Regimes Work: Reassessing the Legal Test

European Law Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Academic research is increasingly questioning whether the goals of competition law should extend beyond the traditional focus on economic efficiency and consumer welfare to include non‐economic issues such as social justice, democracy, environmental sustainability and equality.

Europe and Generational Replacement in Fishing: Analysis of the Scarcity of Studies and Proposals for Future Lines of Research

Fish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The fishing sector is facing a major crisis, usually addressed from an economic and/or environmental perspective. However, at least in developed countries, the ageing of fishers and the lack of generational replacement is one of the main challenges to its survival. Although the sector has been calling for this problem to be addressed, there is

An Angler‐Friendly AI Pipeline for Self‐Reporting and Automatic Catch Analysis in Recreational Fisheries

Fish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Monitoring recreational fisheries is difficult: anglers are widely dispersed, gear and practices vary, and many species are involved, which leads to fragmented and scarce data. To address these issues, we developed an Artificial Intelligence (AI) pipeline that turns angler‐reported photos into standardised records of catch composition and ...

Identifying Purse Seine Vessel Operations Through Machine Learning Models for Better Spatial Fishing Effort Estimates

Fish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Spatial fisheries management requires precise, spatial explicit information on species distribution and fishing impacts. In the NW Mediterranean, the distribution of small pelagic fish (SPF) stocks is currently assessed through annual acoustic surveys.

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 ...

Evaluating and Advancing the Use of Shore‐Based Observers for Scientific Sampling and Catch Verification in High‐Volume Fisheries

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Shore‐based observers are increasingly being used in place of at‐sea observers to monitor and sample commercial fisheries catch. However, few evaluations assess whether these programs meet their stated goals or how to optimize them, and industry data are rarely tested for accuracy despite serving as the foundation for catch accounting. Using a

Instrumentation in fishing gear research

, 1970
The general method of study of the performance of any dynamic system is to have an understanding of the various influencing factors. These include the dynamic parameters developed by the system as well as the external factors. In the case of a trawl net under operation there are many hydrodynamic forces acting on it.

Marketing Strategy‐Based Fishers' Segmentation: The Key to Sustainable Fisheries Sector

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper attempts to empirically investigate potentially significant differences in perceptions regarding marketing strategies that could enhance economic and environmental sustainability in the sector based on the Structure—Conduct and Performance (SCP) methodological framework.
