How Can We Reduce the Overexploitation of the Mediterranean Resources?

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Based on the characteristics of the fishing sector (multispecies and multi-gears) and the stock status of main resources (overfishing and overexploitation), some suggestions to improve the sustainability of demersal and small pelagic fisheries in the ...

An analysis of fishing gear competition. Catalan fisheries as case studies

Scientia Marina, 2013
An asymmetric index was developed to measure the competition relationships among fishing fleets (or gears or métiers) in a multispecies fishery. This index can be used to measure the degree of dominance of each fleet and its level of independence from ...

The importance of cephalopods to trawl fisheries in the western Mediterranean

South African Journal of Marine Science, 1998
The aim of the study was to define the commercial importance of cephalopods caught by trawlers from five Italian and Spanish Mediterranean ports. From summer 1995 to spring 1996, samples of the catches of trawlers were taken on board. The type of fishing activity was recorded and data were collected from at least three commercial hauls for each port ...

An Integrated Traits Resilience Assessment of Mediterranean fisheries landings

Journal of Animal Ecology, 2021
Abstract An increasing number of studies have been examining the functional configuration of biological communities or ecosystems using biological traits. Here, we investigated the temporal dynamics and resilience of the traits composition in Mediterranean fisheries landings over 31 years (1985–2015).

Assessing Cephalopods Fisheries in the Strait of Sicily by Using Poor Data Modeling

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Cephalopods, including octopuses, squids, and cuttlefishes, are exploited by both bottom trawl and small-scale fisheries (SSF) in most of the Mediterranean areas.

The efficiency of using remote sensing for fisheries enforcement: Application to the Mediterranean bluefin tuna fishery [PDF]

Fisheries Research, 2013
This paper analyzes the impact of applying vessel detection technology using satellite images (vessel detection system, VDS) to complement air patrols for fisheries enforcement and control. Due to limited fisheries enforcement budgets there is the need to allocate costs efficiently among competing control tools.

The seascape of demersal fish nursery areas in the North Mediterranean Sea, a first step towards the implementation of spatial planning for trawl fisheries.

PLoS ONE, 2015
The identification of nursery grounds and other essential fish habitats of exploited stocks is a key requirement for the development of spatial conservation planning aimed at reducing the adverse impact of fishing on the exploited populations and ...

Anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) otoliths reveal growth differences between two areas of the Spanish Mediterranean Sea

Scientia Marina, 2017
Anchovy is a commercial species that supports large fisheries in the Mediterranean Sea. In addition, anchovy is an essential element of the pelagic food web, playing a considerable role in connecting the lower and upper trophic levels.

Fisheries management and biodiversity conservation in the Mediterranean policy integration: how far are we from policy coherence?

Frontiers in Ocean Sustainability
IntroductionThe Mediterranean Sea is one of the world's most extensive biodiversity hotspots, yet its biodiversity is increasingly degraded due to environmental pressures and socio-economic activities, particularly fishing.
