Benin ’ s fisheries : a catch reconstruction , 1950 - 20101
Total marine fisheries catches from the Exclusive Economic Zone of Benin and its coastal lagoons were estimated between 1950 and 2010. The reconstruction considered artisanal and industrial sectors and their discards, subsistence fisheries from the marine and lagoon waters including those generated by women for the first time. Small-scale catch estimates were obtained using catch per unit of ef...
متن کاملA database of global marine commercial, small-scale, illegal and unreported fisheries catch 1950–2014
Global fisheries landings data from a range of public sources was harmonised and mapped to 30-min spatial cells based on the distribution of the reported taxa and the fishing fleets involved. This data was extended to include the associated fishing gear used, as well as estimates of illegal, unregulated and unreported catch (IUU) and discards at sea. Expressed as catch rates, these results also...
متن کاملThe Marine Mammal Protection Act at 40: status, recovery, and future of U.S. marine mammals.
Passed in 1972, the Marine Mammal Protection Act has two fundamental objectives: to maintain U.S. marine mammal stocks at their optimum sustainable populations and to uphold their ecological role in the ocean. The current status of many marine mammal populations is considerably better than in 1972. Take reduction plans have been largely successful in reducing direct fisheries bycatch, although ...
متن کاملCoastal catch transects as a tool for studying global fisheries
We present a new, intuitive approach for the representation of fisheries catches within profiles perpendicular to coast of the Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ) of countries, or of Large Marine Ecosystems (LME). These ‘catch transects’ show where catch is extracted in the water column and near the sea bottom on plots of log-bathymetry versus log-distance offshore and thus allow for representation ...
متن کاملAdjusting for Context in Evaluating National Fisheries Statistics Reporting Systems
Fisheries management requires detailed catch time series. Thus, the effectiveness of countries’ reporting system can be, in part, evaluated by the taxonomic resolution of the data they submit to annually to Food and Agriculture of the United Nation (FAO). However, the fish and invertebrate faunas in the Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs) of these countries differ widely, as do the species that are...
