Book (series)Chronicle of Cuban marine fisheries (1935-1995) Trend analysis and fisheries potential 2000
Also available in:
This technical paper presents an analysis of trends in the Cuban marine fishery resources as described by a data set that covers the 1935 to 1995 period. Despite the biases that undoubtedly exist in national fishery statistics and the low level of disaggregation for some groups of species, the extended data set offers a comprehensive picture of Cuban fisheries over 60 years and makes it possible to trace down the phase of development as well as the phase of greatest expansion of Cuban fisheries. The data set shows the sustained increase of catches from the mid-1950s to the 1970s, the decrease in the growth rate during the 1980s and, starting in the 1990s, the senescence of some important fisheries. In 1995, about 38.9 percent of the resources were in a senescent phase (with consequent declining catches), 48.7 percent were in a mature phase at a high exploitation level and only 12.4 percent were still in a developing phase with some possibility of increased catches; none of the fisher ies remained undeveloped. Hence, 87.6 percent of the fishery resources are in a critical stage from the point of view of fishery management and, therefore, there is an urgent need to control and reduce the fishing effort. -
DocumentMarine fisheries statistics in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan
an expanded plan of development
1984Also available in:
No results found.The paper evaluates the status of marine fishery statistics in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and describes the type of data that are needed for economic evaluation of fisheries and biological/stock assessment studies. A one-year plan of development of an adequate statistical system in Jordan is proposed. The system is based on regional concepts and uniform definitions of statistical items to facilitate inter and intra country comparability of the collected fishery data. The methods of collecti on of data and their subsequent analysis are described in details; the facility requirement by way of manpower and equipment is examined. The cost estimate for running the one-year programme is worked out and the potential benefits are indicated. -
Book (series)Review of the state of world marine fishery resources 2005This document updates the regular reviews of the state of the world's marine fisheries and fishery resources, based mainly on official catch statistics throughout 2002 and relevant stock assessment and other complementary information available until 2004. The introductory chapters refer to the global situation and major trends of world marine capture fish production and the state of the world marine fishery resources. More detailed information is provided for each FAO statistical area, together with a discussion of the major trends and changes that have occurred with the main fishery resources exploited in each area and comments on the stock assessment work undertaken in support of fisheries management in each region. Special sections address the global issue of tunas and tuna-like species and other high profile topics such as those dealing with world squid resources, deep-sea fisheries and long-term climate change and fisheries. Summary tables are provided for each statistical area s howing historical and recent catches for the major marine resources and judgements on their current state of exploitation.
