    Regional Reviews and National Management Reports - Fourth Workshop on the Assessment and Management of Shrimp and Groundfish Fisheries on the Brazil-Guianas Shelf, Cumaná, Venezuela, 2-13 October 2000 2001
    Also available in:

    This document assembles three reviews of the marine shrimp and groundfish fisheries of the Brazil-Guianas shelf (northern Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago and eastern Venezuela) and one on environmental aspects of the area. The resources reviews are based on technical reports prepared prior to and during the Workshop in Cumaná, Venezuela and during previous meetings of the stock assessment experts of the WECAFC Ad Hoc Working Group on Shrimp and Groundfish Resources i n the Brazil-Guianas Shelf. The document also contains ten Management Reports, prepared by fishery scientists for presentation at the “Meeting of Fisheries Managers and Ministers of the WECAFC Ad Hoc Working Group on Shrimp and Groundfish Resources in the Brazil-Guianas Shelf”, held in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, from 26-29 March 2001. These Management Reports are the culmination of stock assessment work carried out since the establishment of the WECAFC Ad Hoc Working Group on Shrimp and Groundfish Resources in the Brazil-Guianas Shelf in 1988, in particular in the four Workshops sponsored by CFRAMP and FAO and WECAFC and funded by CIDA, DANIDA (GCP/INT/575/DEN) and Norway (GCP/INT/648/NOR). Each report contains a number of recommendations for fisheries management, further research and international co-operation in data collection and assessments. Annex 2 contains a list of references on shrimp and groundfish species and environmental issues of the area, used in the vario us Workshops. This list was updated as far as published FAO documents are concerned.

    The complementary roles of single-species and ecosystem models in fisheries management. An example from a South-West Atlantic fishery. 2001
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    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.
