Mapping Fishing Effort through AIS Data
Several research initiatives have been undertaken to map fishing effort at high spatial resolution using the Vessel Monitoring System (VMS). An alternative to the VMS is represented by the Automatic Identification System (AIS), which in the EU became compulsory in May 2014 for all fishing vessels of length above 15 meters. The aim of this paper is to assess the uptake of the AIS in the EU fishi...
متن کاملSocial Consequences of Excess Fishing Effort
Levels of fishing effort are defined as being excessive where they result in depletion of commercially valuable stocks and so threaten sustainable harvests. In many parts of Southeast Asia, this threat has been realized by the rapid expansion of commercial fisheries and the consequent increase in fishing effort. Southeast Asian fisheries are described as having a dualistic structure with distin...
متن کاملEffects of Fishing and Fishing Closures on Beach Clams: Experimental Evaluation across Commercially Fished and Non-Fished Beaches before and during Harvesting
Management responses to reconcile declining fisheries typically include closed areas and times to fishing. This study evaluated this strategy for a beach clam fishery by testing the hypothesis that changes in the densities and size compositions of clams from before to during harvesting would differ between commercially fished and non-fished beaches. Sampling was spatially stratified across the ...
متن کاملFishing gear-related injury in California marine wildlife.
We reviewed medical records from select wildlife rehabilitation facilities in California to determine the prevalence of injury in California Brown Pelicans (Pelecanus occidentalis), gulls (Larus spp.), and pinniped species (Zalophus californianus, Mirounga angustirostris, and Phoca vitulina) due to fishing gear entanglement and ingestion from 2001 to 2006. Of 9,668 Brown Pelican, gull, and pinn...
متن کاملMobile Fishing Gear Effects on Benthic Habitats: A Bibliography
Effects of trawling on Posidonia oceanica beds. Posid onia beds between Capo Circeo and Terracina (Mid-Tyrrhenian Sea) were studied as part of a study of the effects of illegal trawling inside th e three m ile limit. M ore than a hund red station s, placed along tran sects orthogonal to the shore, were considered. The results obtained show great damage to the Posid onia beds: red uction in mean...
