DocumentAssessment of stocks of demersal fish off the west coasts of Thailand and Malaysia 1971
Also available in:
No results found.The increase in Thailand's population and the insufficiency of trawl catch in the traditional fisheries in the Gulf of Thailand led to proposals to increase trawl fishing off the Thai and Malaysian Indian Ocean coasts. Thailand bought a vessel to undertake research on catch rates of good and of scrap fish, changes in abundance, distribution of fish at various depths, potential resources, and the relationship between catch and effort. Certain infrastructural lacunae have hitherto hampered the tra wl-fisheries development of Thailand's Indian Ocean coast: rail or road transport, boats, marketing, landing places, and ice or cold-storage facilities. The analysis of catch and the assessment of stock of demersal fish indicates that the level of sustained yield may already have been reached by 1968. If this is so, additional effort will not increase the yield and may actually decrease it and will certainly decrease the catch per effort and hence the profitability. Systematic surveys for catch and effort studies and research on the biology of commercially important demersal fish species should be intensified and carried out regularly to acquire the scientific basis for proper management of fish stocks in the future. -

No results found.The fourth meeting of the FAO/CECAF Working Group on the Assessment of Demersal Resources – Subgroup North, was organized in Fuengirola, Spain, 18-27 November 2013. The overall objective of the Group is to contribute to the improvement of the management of demersal resources in Northwest Africa through assessment of the state of stocks and fisheries to ensure the best sustainable use of the resources for the benefit of coastal countries. The study zone for the Working Group is the CECAF zone o f the Central-East Atlantic Ocean between Cap Spartel and the south of Senegal. For reasons of heterogeneity, the species and stocks assessed by the Working Group were divided into four groups: hake, other demersal fish, shrimps and cephalopods. For each of these groups information is provided on the fisheries: sampling schemes and sampling intensity, biological characteristics, stock identity, trends in catch, effort, biological data and abundance indices, assessment of the stocks, management m easures recommendations and future research. Approximately 26 different stocks-units were analyzed and the results discussed. The quality and trends in basic data (catch, effort, length distribution) collected by each different country and the sampling system represented some of the main discussion topics of this Working Group. The results of the assessments confirm the conclusion reached at the last meeting in 2010 that most of the stocks assessed are overexploited. A summary of the assessments and management measures is given at the end of this report. -

No results found.A permanent FAO/CECAF Working Group composed of scientists from the coastal countries and from those countries or organizations playing an active role in demersal fisheries in Northwest Africa, was created by CECAF in 2000. The first meeting of Subgroup North was organized in Saly, Senegal, from 14 to 23 September 2004. The overall objective of the Group is to contribute to the improvement of the management of demersal resources in Northwest Africa through assessment of the state of stocks and fisheries to ensure the best sustainable use of the resources for the benefit of coastal countries. The study zone for the Working Group is the CECAF zone of the Central-East Atlantic Ocean between Cap Spartel and the south of Senegal. For reasons of heterogeneity, the species and stocks assessed by the Working Group were divided into four groups: hake, other demersal fish, shrimps and cephalopods. Un Groupe de travail permanent FAO/COPACE, composé de scientifiques des États côtiers et des pays ou organisations qui jouent un rôle actif dans les pêcheries démersales de l’Afrique nord-ouest a été créé par le COPACE en 2000. La première réunion du Sous-groupe Nord a été organisée à Saly, Sénégal, du 14 au 23 septembre 2004. L’objectif général du Groupe de travail est de contribuer à améliorer l’aménagement des ressources démersales en Afrique du Nord-Ouest par l’évaluation de l’état des stocks et des pêcheries afin d’assurer une meilleure utilisation de ces ressources pour le bénéfice des pays côtiers. La zone d’étude du Groupe de travail est la zone COPACE de l’océan Atlantique Centre-Est, entre Cap Spartel et le sud du Sénégal. En raison de l’hétérogénéité des espèces et des stocks, le Groupe de travail sur les démersaux a été divisé en quatre groupes: merlus, autres démersaux, crevettes et céphalopodes.
