Book (series)Data preparation to inform assessment and management approaches in data-limited fisheries
A practical manual
2024Also available in:
No results found.In fisheries science and management, it is not uncommon that fishery data are used at “face value”, as inputs into data-limited assessments or empirical indicator-based frameworks for management, without first conducting a thorough exploration and critical review of the data. This practice may lead to biases in results and misdirected fishery management actions. To address intermediate steps between data collection and any analysis used to inform stock status, this manual provides guidance on how to prepare, explore and critically review fishery data in data-limited situations. Throughout the manual, guidance and sample data are provided primarily in Microsoft Excel or in comma separated value (CSV) file formats, as well as through FishualizeR, a publicly available, web-based, R Shiny app that was developed to support the manual. Instructions in this manual are not intended to present a single, prescriptive path, but rather to provide guidance that may be further tailored to each individual context. It is the authors’ hope and intent that the guidance contained in this manual will allow users to better understand their data, make corrections, and gain a deeper understanding of the data’s utility in assessment and management of data-limited fisheries. -
Book (series)Proceedings of the EIFAAC symposium on inland fisheries and aquaculture: advances in technology, stock assessment and citizen science in an era of climate change
Killarney, Ireland, 20–21 June 2022
2023Also available in:
No results found.The international symposium on “Inland Fisheries and aquaculture: advances in technology, stock assessment and citizen science in an era of climate change” was organized in conjunction with the thirty-first session of the European Inland Fisheries and Aquaculture Advisory Commission in Killarney, Ireland on 20–21 June 2022. The symposium was organized by Inland Fisheries Ireland and the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications. The symposium was attended by 105 participants from 14 countries. The main documentation comprised six invited papers and 35 experience papers and 15 posters. The symposium had five major themes, which were: (i) Inland fish stock assessment, (ii) Developments in freshwater fish monitoring technologies with an emphasis on non-destructive methods, (iii) The problems and challenges of climate change and its impacts on inland aquatic resources and fisheries, (iv) Citizen science, and (v) Aquaculture - traditional freshwater systems vs recirculation systems. The symposium provided valuable networking opportunities for the participating scientists, especially young scientists could share their research findings. Many promising studies and innovative technologies and methodologies were presented. This Occasional Paper in conjunction with a special issue of Fisheries Management and Ecology represents the proceedings of the symposium. The thirty-first session of EIFAAC, held in Killarney from 22 to 24 June 2022, discussed and endorsed the conclusions and recommendations from the symposium. -
Book (series)Feasibility of Restocking and Culture-based Fisheries in Central Asia 2011
Also available in:
No results found.Culture-based fisheries have been successfully developed across the world in order to increase productivity of capture fisheries, with five to tenfold increases in productivity per hectare not uncommon. Fish farming too has shown to be an important contributor to national food security, rural employment and income generation. Unfortunately, political upheaval, the disruption of historic fish supply chains and limited state budgets have combined to halt many of the restocking and culture-bas ed fisheries programmes in the Central Asian and Caucasus region during the 1990s. This is unfortunate, as a number of important waterbodies in the region offer great potential for such activities. As a consequence, this study was tasked with providing an overview of regional waterbodies and historic and contemporary culture-based fisheries and restocking experiences ¿ using case studies from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan ¿ with a view to suggesting potential ways in which national gover nments and the Central Asian and Caucasus Regional Fisheries and Aquaculture Commission (CACFISH) might support the rehabilitation of culture (and, by extension, capture) fisheries in the region. Seven overarching principles are identified (i.e. ecosystem compatibility, compatibility with other uses, best available science and information, social and economic benefits, collaboration with the culture production sector, the regulatory process, public information) and accompanying recommendation s are made to guide culture-based activity and restocking in the region. The Fourth Intergovernmental Meeting on the Establishment of the Central Asian and Caucasus Regional Fisheries and Aquaculture Commission (Cholpon Ata, Kyrgyzstan, 22 -24 June 2011) discussed and adopted the conclusions and recommendations of this regional study and requested the FAO Secretariat to CACFish to pass them forward to the Inaugural Meeting of the Commission for endorsement by the same Commission.
