Proceeding of the Second FAO Expert Consultation on Interactions of Pacific Tuna Fisheries Shimizu, Japan 23 to 31 January 1995
1996Also available in:
No results found.This publication includes forty papers and two abstracts of papers presented at the Second FAO Expert Consultation on Pacific Tuna Fisheries held in Shimizu, Japan, from 23 to 31 January 1995. The topics of the papers include: · reviews of tuna fisheries interactions and their research including methods for their study, · new methods for studying tuna fisheries interactions and examination of their applicability, · case studies on tuna fisheries interactions, · analyses of tuna fisheri es involved in interactions and their management, and · an overview of FAO’s project that co-organized and co-sponsored the Consultation. A supplement of an indexed bibliography of papers on tuna and billfish tagging, which was printed separately, is also included. The objectives of the Consultation were to: · review and integrate the outcome of the studies on tuna fisheries interactions, · summarize the extent of tuna fisheries interactions and unresolved research problems, and · fo rmulate guidelines for research on tuna fisheries interactions. The understanding of tuna fisheries interactions was enhanced significantly by recent studies. However, the Consultation noted that the number of quantified interactions is still small due primarily to difficulties associated with evaluating such interactions. The papers providing supporting information for the conclusions of the Consultation are presented in this publication. Interactions were found to vary in significance depend ing on the biological characteristics of the species involved, the sizes of fish caught, the local and stock-wide rates of exploitation, and the distance among fisheries. In many of the studies presented, the inadequacy of fisheries data was stressed. In addition, the lack of understanding of movements of the fish being studied was noted in several papers. General qualitative guidelines presented in several discussion papers stressed that specifically-designed studies be undertaken to adequately quantify interactions. Well-designed tagging experiments were thought to provide the most reliable information about interactions. Guidelines for the collection of data, biological and ecosystem research, modelling, and alternative methodologies for studying tuna fisheries interactions are also included. -
Book (stand-alone)WECAFC - Report of the eight session of the Scientific Advisory Group. Merida, Mexico, 3-4 November 2017
Progress achieved under the WECAFC-FIRMS collaboration, and new developments
2017Also available in:
No results found.This document presents the cross-cutting activities on data and statistics taking place under the WECAFC-FIRMS partnership, coordinated by the governing Task Force. The promising results which were achieved by the WECAFC-FIRMS phase 1 EU funded project are presented, many of which are being strengthened by the phase 2 project, the latter begun in synergy with other regional projects (e.g., CLEM+, recreational billfish). The WECAFC Data and Statistics Working Group will constitute a cornerstone o f this new project with the endorsement of a first draft of the Regional Data Collection Reference Framework, the endorsement of the Regional logbook guidelines, and the recommendations on the further development of the WECAFC Regional Database. Among the achievements presented is the EU DEVCO “FIT4CC” project proposal which is expected to boost national capacities in statistics and place in an operational mode the support tools to FMPs, including the regional database and a stock assessment cap acity. These integrated efforts taking place under the FIRMS Partnership provide the ingredients to enable WECAFC countries to progress towards SDG14.4 thanks to increased capacities for data collection, stock assessment and the use of the FIRMS monitoring framework for reporting on SDG14.4.1. The SAG is expected to acknowledge the results and on-going efforts of the project, to advise on the best way to prepare a successful FDS WG, to support FIT4CC and to provide directions Western Central Atl antic Fishery Commission (WECAFC) Eighth Session of the Scientific Advisory Group Merida, Mexico 3 – 4 November 2017 Progress achieved under the WECAFC-FIRMS collaboration, and new developments 2 for the further steps of its formulation, and to advise on the implementation of SDG14.4.1 in the region. -
Book (series)Review of the implementation of the International Guidelines for the Management of Deep-sea Fisheries in the High Seas 2024
Also available in:
No results found.The International Guidelines for the Management of Deep-sea Fisheries in the High Seas (DSF Guidelines) were adopted by FAO in 2008. The first and only review of the implementation of the Guidelines took place in 2010. There have been many advances in implementation since then and it is timely to conduct another review. The DSF Guidelines have been used to guide regional fisheries management organizations and states in the development of spatial management processes defining fishing grounds and protecting vulnerable marine ecosystems. The DSF Guidelines also require that harvested fish stocks and impacts on bycatch species are assessed and managed, but this has been less well implemented.
