Review of National Laws and Regulations in China in Relation to the Precautionary Approach to Fisheries Management

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The precautionary approach has been widely accepted as an important guideline in international, regional, and national fisheries management. The United Nations Fish Stocks Agreement provided a foundational framework for the application of the precautionary approach in fisheries management.

Trawling in the Mediterranean: An Exploration of Empirical Relations Connecting Fishing Gears, Otterboards and Propulsive Characteristics of Fishing Vessels

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Fishing pressure is often expressed in terms of a vessels physical attributes, like tonnage and engine power, while a common definition of fishing capacity identifies vessel size as a convenient proxy for the size of the gear used.

Temporal Changes in a Tropical Nekton Assemblage and Performance of a Prawn Selective Gear [PDF]

, 1995
The temporal variation of components of a moderately diverse (H=1.46) tropical estuarine fish assemblage (long. 146°30'E, lat. 8°45'S) was directed by salinities that had been determined by local oceanographic and probably topographic conditions.

Ecosystem Impacts of the Landing Obligation for Unwanted Catch in Thermaikos Gulf (Greece)

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Discards by marine commercial fisheries have been an issue of major concern to the scientific community in recent years. We modeled the ecological and trophic consequences of a mandatory landing obligation (LO) regulated by the reformed Common Fisheries Policy [Regulation (EU) 1380/2013] on the Thermaikos Gulf ecosystem (northwestern Aegean ...

Carbon emission due to excess fuel consumption by the trawlers of Thoothukudi, Southeast Coast of India

Carbon Management, 2017
Single-day trawling is commercially practiced along Thoothukudi coast, involving a total of 275 trawlers of varying length range operated from Thoothukudi fishing harbour (8°47’N, 78°9.5’E).

Use of remotely-derived bathymetry for modelling biomass in marine environments [PDF]

, 2013
The paper presents results on the influence of geometric attributes of satellite-derived raster bathymetric data, namely the General Bathymetric Charts of the Oceans, on spatial statistical modelling of marine biomass. In the initial experiment, both the

Discard Survival of Thornback Ray (Raja clavata), Undulate Ray (Raja undulata) and Small‐Eyed Ray (Raja microocellata) in Northeast Atlantic Inshore Fisheries

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Quantifying discard survival of species is crucial for effective fishery management. Electronic tags and visual health assessments were used to estimate postrelease survival of commercially caught thornback ray (Raja clavata), undulate ray (Raja undulata) and small‐eyed ray (Raja microocellata) from Northeast Atlantic inshore fisheries ...

Quantification and mitigation of bottom-trawling impacts on sedimentary organic carbon stocks in the North Sea [PDF]

Biogeosciences
The depletion of sedimentary organic carbon stocks by the use of bottom-contacting fishing gear and the potential climate impacts resulting from remineralization of the organic carbon to CO2 have recently been heavily debated.

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.
