Book (series)Desk review: the problem of bycatch in shrimp fisheries

No results found.The present situation regarding shrimp trawling and bycatch collection in the countries studied can be summarized as follows: In Kenya, there has been a ban on shrimp trawling for several years due to conflicts with artisanal fishers. This ban was lifted in May 2011 and presently, there are only two shrimp trawlers operating. These trawlers reportedly deliver all their bycatch to the local Beach Management Units (BMUs). In Tanzania, there was a ban on shrimp trawling in 2008/9 due to resource pr oblems. At this time, there is a new moratorium in place and no shrimp trawling is taking place. However, when the trawlers were operating, there was a system in place to take care of the bycatch, made up of three different options: Landed by the trawler at the end of a fishing trip; Collected at sea by authorized fish merchants; Collected at sea by artisanal bycatch traders. In Madagascar, a number of activities and projects have been implemented, some with the participation of FAO. At th is time, there are systems in place for bycatch collection. In Mozambique, projects have been implemented to introduce new types of collector vessels, bycatch receiving stations and other more formal arrangements. These activities have failed whilst, at the same time, bycatch collection by artisanal fishermen using traditional canoes and landing on the beaches has increased every year. This has become an important activity for the fishing communities along the Sofala Bank and the bycatch, which is traditionally processed (salted, dried, smoked) and traded, is an important source of income for coastal communities and protein for inland communities.
