MeetingMeeting documentCommercial catch and discards of pelagic longline fishery of Reunion Island based on the self-reporting data collection program 2013
Also available in:
No results found.Pelagic longline fishery activities of Reunion Island are monitored since 2011 by the self-reporting data collection program (SRP) that covered 12% of the total fishing effort in 2011-2012. Fishermen report in SRP various informations on fishing locations, gear used, catch, discards and depredation. We used these data to assess the levels and distribution of commercial catch and discards between mid-2011 and mid-2013. We found that the catch per unit of effort (CPUE) of swordfish (target species ) has decreased since 2011 as long as the overall profitability of this fishery including other commercial species and taxa: yellowfin tu, bigeye tu, albacore tu, dolphinfish and billfish. Discards were mostly blue sharks (38%), pelagic stingrays (24%) and a generic group of very long fish usually called snooks by fishermen (20%). In this context of overall decrease of fishery profitability, fishing on the east coast of Madagascar between July and September still remains a profitable strategy wh ile byctach rate of discards is reasobly low. Albacore tu season occurring the last quarter of the year also remains profitable with high albacore CPUE levels near Reunion Island and below average rate of discarded bycatch.

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureFAO Major Fishing Areas for Statistical Purposes (with insets) 2015
Also available in:
No results found.FAO Major Fishing Areas for Statistical Purposes are arbitrary areas, the boundaries of which were determined in consultation with international fishery agencies on various considerations, including (i) the boundary of natural regions and the natural divisions of oceans and seas; (ii) the boundaries of adjacent statistical fisheries bodies already established in inter-governmental conventions and treaties; (iii) existing national practices; (iv) national boundaries; (v) the longitude and latitud e grid system; (vi) the distribution of the aquatic fauna; and (vii) the distribution of the resources and the environmental conditions within an area. The rationale of the FAO Major Fishing Areas has been that the areas should, as far as possible, coincide with the areas of competence of other fishery commissions when existing. This system facilitates comparison of data, and improves the possibilities of cooperation in statistical matters in general.

La transformación azul en acción
2024En la edición de 2024 de El estado mundial de la pesca y la acuicultura, se muestra la transformación azul en acción, ilustrada mediante actividades e iniciativas dirigidas por la FAO en colaboración con Miembros, asociados y partes interesadas clave, con vistas a integrar los alimentos acuáticos en la seguridad alimentaria y la sostenibilidad mundiales, potenciar la promoción de las políticas, la investigación científica y la creación de capacidad, difundir prácticas sostenibles e innovaciones tecnológicas, así como apoyar la participación de la comunidad.La Parte 1 de esta edición de El estado mundial de la pesca y la acuicultura se beneficia de mejoras significativas en la recopilación de datos, así como los instrumentos y metodologías analíticos y de evaluación para presentar el examen más actualizado de la producción y utilización de la pesca y la acuicultura a nivel mundial. En la Parte 2 se destaca la función de la FAO y sus asociados a la hora de impulsar los cambios para la transformación necesarios para apoyar la expansión e intensificación de la acuicultura, la ordenación eficaz de la pesca mundial y la actualización de las cadenas de valor acuáticas. La Parte 3 abarca los desafíos de alto impacto y las oportunidades para aprovechar el potencial inexplorado de utilizar pescado entero y subproductos para mejorar la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición, describe la función de los sistemas alimentarios acuáticos a la hora de aportar soluciones vitales relacionadas con el clima y la biodiversidad y ecológicamente adecuadas, y destaca la importancia de su integración en los procesos nacionales y multilaterales. Asimismo, presenta una perspectiva sobre las tendencias futuras hasta 2032 basándose en previsiones.El estado mundial de la pesca y la acuicultura 2024 proporciona la información más actualizada y basada en datos objetivos, que respalda las normas políticas, científicas y técnicas sobre desafíos, oportunidades e innovaciones que determinan el presente y el futuro del sector, para beneficio de un público amplio y cada vez mayor de encargados de formular políticas, personal directivo, científicos, pescadores, acuicultores, comerciantes, activistas de la sociedad civil y consumidores. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Mediterranean and Black Sea Fisheries 2023
Special edition
2023Also available in:
No results found.This 2023 special edition of the GFCM’s flagship publication, The State of Mediterranean and Black Sea Fisheries, updates statistics and figures on the status and management of fisheries in the region and includes, for the first time, an overview of regional indicators on the aquaculture sector in Mediterranean and Black Sea countries. It aims to deliver useful and reliable data to a wide audience as an essential source of information on fisheries and aquaculture in the region and a key tool to support decision-making and monitor progress towards the goals set by the GFCM. The fifth instalment of its series, this publication covers topics of regional importance in the fisheries and aquaculture sectors over the course of seven chapters. Fleet status and capture fisheries production are the focus of the first two chapters, which include figures on fishing capacity and landings by country and fleet segment. Chapter three captures the human dimension behind the region’s fisheries through socioeconomic data on revenue and employment. In chapter four, information on discards is updated and categorized for the main fishing fleets in each GFCM subregion, along with details on the species that make up this important component of the catch. Chapter five reviews the status of fisheries resources, especially regional trends and trends in priority species, while chapter seven summarizes relevant existing and new adopted measures towards the sustainability of key fisheries and the protection of vulnerable ecosystems. Aquaculture is included in this edition for the first time, described in terms of volume and socioeconomic indicators in chapter six.
