چکیده

The scope of this paper is to describe, evaluate, and forecast fishing trip choices of the Bay of Biscay pelagic fleet using random utility modeling (RUM). First, alternative fishing trip choices of this fleet were identified using multivariate statistical methods based on species landings weighted by value and defined as distinct fishing activity or fisheries (termed métiers). A RUM was specified, which included trip components as attributes during the period 2001–2004 (a lagged percentage of the value per unit of effort of the main species caught, total value per unit of effort, and inertia in terms of changes from one métier to another). For the main métiers, the proportion of correct effort allocation is 90% during the calibration period of 2001–2004. The results from the RUM are used to parameterize a simulation model of trip choice. The model is used to predict trip choices in 2005, throughout most of which fishing was constrained by the closure of the European anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) fishery. Simulation results are compared with observed trip choices following the fishing ban: 80% of observed trip choices are correctly predicted by the model. The capacity of the behavioral model to predict responses to the closure is then discussed. Résumé : Cet article a pour objectif de décrire, d’évaluer et de prédire le choix de l’activité de pêche à l’échelle de la marée pour les chalutiers pélagiques du Golfe de Gascogne en utilisant des modèles de choix discrets (RUM, « random utility modeling »). Les pratiques alternatives ont été identifiées par des méthodes statistiques multivariées basées sur les débarquements spécifiques en valeur et ont été définies comme autant de pratiques nommées par la suite métiers. Un RUM a été spécifié incluant les caractéristiques de la marée (le pourcentage de la valeur par unité d’effort (VPUE) des espèces principales capturées et la VPUE totale de la marée précédente ainsi que l’inertie pour changer de métier) comme attributs durant la période 2001–2004. Pour les métiers principaux, le modèle est capable de prédire correctement 90 % des choix observés durant la période de calibration. Nous utilisons ensuite ces résultats pour paramètrer un modèle de simulation de choix d’activité. Le modèle a servi à prédire les choix en 2005, année au cours de laquelle un arrêt de pêche à l’anchois (Engraulis encrasicolus) a été imposé. Les résultats de la simulation sont comparés aux choix observés suite à la fermeture : 80 % des choix de métiers observés sont correctement prédits par le modèle. La capacité du modèle à prédire la réponse à la fermeture fait ensuite l’objet d’une discussion.

Energy density of anchovy Engraulis encrasicolus in the Bay of Biscay.

The energy density (E(D)) of anchovy Engraulis encrasicolus in the Bay of Biscay was determined by direct calorimetry and its evolution with size, age and season was investigated. The water content and energy density varied seasonally following opposite trends. The E(D) g(-1) of wet mass (M(W)) was highest at the end of the feeding season (autumn: c. 8 kJ g(-1)M(W)) and lowest in late winter (c...

Contrasting years in the Gironde estuary (Bay of Biscay, NE Atlantic) springtime outflow and consequences for zooplankton pyruvate kinase activity and the nutritional condition of anchovy larvae: an early view

A major spawning ground of the European anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) population in the Bay of Biscay is located near the mouth of the Gironde estuary. Variations in the river discharge affect the supply of nutrients to the coastal marine area encompassing anchovy spawning grounds. Two “Pegase” cruises (May–June 1997 and 1998) observed two contrasting situations: with and without a superfici...
