Book (stand-alone)Technical studyA review of bycatch and discard issues in Indian Ocean tuna fisheries 2013
Also available in:
No results found.This study, based on official statistics and published material, concentrated on pole-and-line, purse seine and longline tuna fisheries of the Indian Ocean, which, although representing less than half the region’s tuna landings, are the only sectors having sufficient statistical data and governance to permit analysis and the application of mitigation measures. Some new information is also presented on drift gillnet fisheries which have more catch than the other fisheries combined and result in h igh levels of bycatch. It should be noted that, while often having significant non-target catch, artisanal fisheries rarely discard and fully utilize their retained catch. Various Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have embarked on media campaigns and direct action, pressuring markets to source surface tuna fishery products from pole-and-line and FAD1 -free sources alone. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookMarine biotoxins 2004
Also available in:
This paper provides an extensive review of different aspects of five shellfish poisoning syndromes (paralytic shellfish poisoning, diarrhoeic shellfish poisoning, amnesic shellfish poisoning, neurologic shellfish poisoning, azaspiracid shellfish poisoning), as well as one fish poisoning syndrome (ciguatera fish poisoning). Various aspects of these poisoning syndromes are discussed in detail including the causative toxins produced by marine organisms, chemical structures and analytical methods of the toxins, habitat and occurrence of the toxin producing organisms, case studies and existing regulations. Based on this analysis, risk assessments are carried out for each of these different toxins, and recommendations elaborated to better manage these risks in order to reduce the harmful effect of these toxins on public health.
