No results found.This publication includes forty papers and two abstracts of papers presented at the Second FAO Expert Consultation on Pacific Tuna Fisheries held in Shimizu, Japan, from 23 to 31 January 1995. The topics of the papers include: · reviews of tuna fisheries interactions and their research including methods for their study, · new methods for studying tuna fisheries interactions and examination of their applicability, · case studies on tuna fisheries interactions, · analyses of tuna fisheri es involved in interactions and their management, and · an overview of FAO’s project that co-organized and co-sponsored the Consultation. A supplement of an indexed bibliography of papers on tuna and billfish tagging, which was printed separately, is also included. The objectives of the Consultation were to: · review and integrate the outcome of the studies on tuna fisheries interactions, · summarize the extent of tuna fisheries interactions and unresolved research problems, and · fo rmulate guidelines for research on tuna fisheries interactions. The understanding of tuna fisheries interactions was enhanced significantly by recent studies. However, the Consultation noted that the number of quantified interactions is still small due primarily to difficulties associated with evaluating such interactions. The papers providing supporting information for the conclusions of the Consultation are presented in this publication. Interactions were found to vary in significance depend ing on the biological characteristics of the species involved, the sizes of fish caught, the local and stock-wide rates of exploitation, and the distance among fisheries. In many of the studies presented, the inadequacy of fisheries data was stressed. In addition, the lack of understanding of movements of the fish being studied was noted in several papers. General qualitative guidelines presented in several discussion papers stressed that specifically-designed studies be undertaken to adequately quantify interactions. Well-designed tagging experiments were thought to provide the most reliable information about interactions. Guidelines for the collection of data, biological and ecosystem research, modelling, and alternative methodologies for studying tuna fisheries interactions are also included. -
Book (series)Report of the Trilateral Workshop on Lanternfish in the Gulf of Oman. Muscat, Oman, 7-9 May 2001 2001
Also available in:
No results found.The Workshop was organized by the FAO Fishery Industries Division in cooperation with the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, Sultanate of Oman, and was hosted by the Sultanate of Oman. The Workshop was attended by 43 participants from the two countries and from FAO. The participants represented national fisheries administrations, fisheries companies and scientific institutions. The main issues addressed by the Workshop included the situation of myctophid resources in the Gulf of Om an, their biology and stock assessment, estimation of the precautionary harvest levels, research activities for assuring their effective management, bycatch from lanternfish fishing, exploitation trials in the Gulf of Oman, efficient capture and handling, options for utilization, processing and the ecology of myctophids in the Gulf of Oman.
