Book (series)Case studies on the effects of transferable fishing rights on fleet capacity and concentration of quota ownership 2001
Also available in:
No results found.This report describes how the introduction of transferable fishing (effort) or fish (catch) quotas has affected the capacity of the fleet prosecuting the target fishery for which the harvesting rights apply. It consists of 16 national, or national fishery, studies, describes how the introduction of transferable fishing (effort) or fish (catch) quotas has affected the capacity of the fleet prosecuting the target fishery for which the harvesting rights apply. The case studies include two fro m the European Union (the U.K. and the Netherlands) and for Iceland. Two studies are presented for fisheries along the eastern seaboard of the United States Seven accounts are included from Australia, two of which describe fisheries managed by the Commonwealth Government through the Australian Offshore Constitutional Settlement (the Northern Prawn Fishery and the fishery for southern bluefin tuna). The other five accounts of Australian experiences describe the (unique?) Pilbara Trap Fishery in the northern region of Western Australia, Western Australia’s rock lobster fishery and the fishery for the same species and that for abalone and pilchards in South Australia. In Tasmania an account is given for the rock lobster fishery while for New South Wales, a description is given for another invertebrate fishery, that for abalone. An omnibus account is given for the situation in New Zealand. In the Western Pacific, accounts are given for the Pacific Halibut and Sablefish fisheries in Ala ska, the marine trawl fisheries of British Columbia and Chile's Patagonian toothfish fishery. -
Book (series)Report of the tenth session of the Scientific Advisory Committee. Nicosia, Cyprus, 22–26 October 2007 / Rapport de la dixième session du Comité scientifique consultatif. Nicosie, Chypre, 22-26 octobre 2007 2008

No results found.The Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) of the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) held its tenth session in Nicosia, Cyprus, from 22 to 26 October 2007. It was attended by delegates from 14 Members of the Commission. The Committee appraised the activities of its subsidiary bodies and those of the regional projects supporting the Commission as well as the outcome of the Coordinating Meeting of the Sub-Committees (CMSC). It acknowledged the progress in strengthening the stoc k assessment process notably through promoting joint assessment practice as well as the definition and identification of criteria for the priority species and shared stocks. It favoured the trend for the use of the data from trawl survey and requested to pay special attention to the hake (Merluccius merluccius) and associated species in 2008. SAC reviewed fishery management proposals emanating from its Sub-Committees and formulated related advice. The Committee took note of progress achieved wit h regard to defining Fisheries restricted Area and the promotion of activities on EAF and MPAs. The Committee emphasized the need to implement catch and effort data reporting in the frame of Resolution GFCM/31/2007/1 on Task 1 statistical matrix. The SAC established ad hoc Working Groups on recreational fisheries and on trawl selectivity and gave guidance regarding the activities of the Joint GFCM/International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) Working Group on Large Pel agic Species. The Committee agreed upon its workplan for 2008. It elected its new bureau. -
Book (stand-alone)Rebuilding of marine fisheries - Part 1: Global review 2018
Also available in:
No results found.Rebuilding depleted stocks is a central part of the fisheries governance agenda. By analysing the available literature, Part 1 of “Rebuilding of marine fisheries” provides a global review of the emergence of the rebuilding paradigm, its key concepts, the trends in fishery resources, and the empirical evidence available on stocks depletion, collapse and rebuilding. It addresses the bio-ecological, economic, and human dimensions of rebuilding or restoration of stocks, multispecies assemblages and habitats/ecosystems and touches on the need for rebuilding at the whole sector level when depletion has become widespread and chronic. The human imensions of stocks and fisheries are given particular attention, looking at conflicting objectives, the bio-economy of rebuilding, its costs and benefits, and the distributional effects of the related reform among actors with their potential social consequences in the short and long terms. Governance is addressed in detail: legal and policy frameworks; rationale and objectives of a rebuilding regime; alternative rebuilding strategies; reference values and protocols; regulatory time-frames; risk management and harvest control rules; impacts of climatic oscillations; management tool-box; implementation guidance and performance evaluation. The document ends with a review of the determinants of success of a rebuilding programme.
