No results found.The Scientific Advisory Committee on Fisheries (SAC) of the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) held its twenty-third session in hybrid modality, from 21 to 24 June 2022. The Committee reviewed the work carried out during the 2021–2022 intersession and endorsed the MedSea4Fish guiding document, which provides an implementation framework following the establishment of the programme at the forty-fourth session of the GFCM (online, November 2021). The Committee provided advice on the status of priority stocks and ecosystems and on potential management measures addressing key fisheries and vulnerable species in the Mediterranean, including for European eel and red coral. In line with the subregional approach, the Committee formulated advice focusing on: i) common dolphinfish (Coryphaena hippurus) and blackspot seabream (Pagellus bogaraveo) fisheries in the western Mediterranean; ii) small pelagic and bottom trawl fisheries exploiting demersal stocks, particularly European hake (Merluccius merluccius) and deep-water rose shrimp (Parapenaeus longirostris), in the central Mediterranean; iii) deep-water red shrimp, giant red shrimp and blue and red shrimp (Aristaeomorpha foliacea and Aristeus antennatus) fisheries in the eastern-central Mediterranean, including their interactions with vulnerable megafauna; iv) non-indigenous species in the eastern Mediterranean, and v) small pelagic and demersal fisheries in the Adriatic. The Committee also agreed on the technical soundness of a proposal for the establishment of a fisheries restricted area (FRA) in the Cabliers Coral Mound, reviewed and endorsed a proposal for a large scale multiannual pilot study on trawl selectivity in the Strait of Sicily and reviewed the updated proposal from Libya to divide the Libyan coast (geographical subarea 21) into three marine subareas, to be submitted to the Commission. At the regional level, the Committee provided advice on the following: i) minimum conservation reference size for GFCM priority species; ii) spatial distribution of fishing effort, especially bottom trawl fisheries, to understand the spatial dynamics of specific fisheries and inform spatial management measures, including vulnerable marine ecosystems and other effective area-based conservation measures; and iii) ensuring and assessing the effectiveness of FRAs and establishing minimal standards for the monitoring of FRAs. With regard to recreational and small-scale fisheries, the Committee endorsed lists of species of importance and expressed support for a dedicated research programme for recreational fisheries. -
No Thumbnail AvailableBook (series)Technical reportCOFI Report of the Twenty-Third Session of the Committee on Fisheries. Rome, Italy, 15-19 February 1999. 1999The twenty-third session of the Committee on Fisheries was held from 15 to 19 February 1999. The Committee stressed the increasingly important role of inland capture fisheries and aquaculture in fish production and human nutrition. In this regard, it emphasized the benefits of integrated resources management, the need to combat adverse impacts on the environment and for enhanced cooperation between fishers, government agencies and other stakeholders. It discussed experiences in implementing the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries and, while expressing its appreciation for FAO's efforts to promote the application of the Code, recognized that further assistance would be required if meaningful progress was to be made. Commenting favourably on FAO's implementation of the Fisheries Programme over 1996-98, the Committee strongly recommended that Major Programme 2.3 (Fisheries) should be allocated a substantially increased share of the Organisation's Regular Programme resources. The Com mittee adopted International Plans for the Management of Fishing Capacity, for the Management and Conservation of Sharks and for Reducing Incidental Catch of Seabirds in Longline Fisheries. It expressed its support for the FAO Programme of Fisheries Assistance for Small Island States but was concerned at the limited progress achieved in securing funding for the Programme. The Committee approved the report of the Sixth Session of its Sub-Committee on Fish Trade and accepted the invitation to hold the Sub-Committee's next session in Bremen, Germany, in the year 2000. The Committee received the report on the Feasibility of Developing Non-Discriminatory Technical Guidelines for Eco-Labelling of Products from Marine Capture Fisheries held in Rome in October 1998. It noted that any eco-labelling scheme must be, inter alia, transparent, voluntary, non-discriminatory and not be an obstacle to trade but, in the course of lengthy discussions, was unable to reach consensus on FAO's future work on technical aspects of eco-labelling. The Committee considered Version 2.0 of FAO's Strategic Framework (2000-2015) to be a substantial improvement over Version 1.0 but suggested that Version 3.0 should be more concise and less descriptive, with paramount attention given to the requirements of the membership, the Organization's greatest strengths and balance between normative and field activities. Endorsing the Medium-term Perspectives for FAO's Fisheries Programme, the Committee placed high prio rity on further work in support of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries, on implementing the three International Plans of Actions adopted at the session and on activities to support sustainable aquaculture, including the establishment of a COFI Sub-Committee on Aquaculture. The Committee welcomed the steps taken and envisaged to strengthen the functions and responsibilities of FAO regional fishery bodies and their cooperation with Non-FAO regional fishery bodies.
