Synopsis (short abstract) An Expert Consultation on Ecosystem-based Fisheries Management was held in Reykjavik, Iceland, from 16 to 19 September 2002, in response to a request in the Reykjavik Declaration on Responsible Fisheries to develop technical guidelines for best practice with regard to introducing ecosystems considerations into fisheries management. The meeting was attended by 17 experts from 15 countries who drafted guidelines for an Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries (EAF) that will be published in the series of the FAO Technical Guidelines for Responsible Fisheries. The guidelines attempt to operationalize EAF by recognizing that it is an extension of current management practices, but broadens these to take into account the biotic, abiotic and human components of ecosystems in which fisheries operate. The guidelines provide an approach to translate the high level policy goals of the economic, social and ecological dimensions of sustainable development already agreed in a range of instruments and agr eements into operational objectives, indicators and performance measures that can be implemented at a practical level to achieve EAF.

Increasing concerns about the ecosystem impacts of fishing activities have motivated the development of ecosystem management principles which prompt a critical examination of concepts, methods and tools used in fisheries assessment and management. One of the central questions for fisheries assessment is how to evaluate and communicate the consequences of alternative fishing policies to marine resources and ecosystems, and therefore, what type of modeling approach to be used to this end. Thi s work uses the fishery for the Brazilian sardine as a case study in the analysis of the roles of single-species and ecosystem models in the assessment and management of a capture fishery. Results of this analysis point at complementary roles of the two modeling approaches.
