Determining Optimal Catch in Age-Structured Multispecies Fisheries
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study investigates optimal catch of Barents Sea stocks, namely Northeast Arctic Cod and Capelin in multispecies ecosystem. We solve a multispecies age structured bioeconomic model for predator-prey interaction. Barents Sea stock data from ICES are employed for model application. Among others, we also include sustainability constraint in the model that contributes towards ecosystem based management of fishery. Our preliminary result suggests that a conservative harvest is optimal for capelin compared to the single species model and a higher harvest is possible in cod in multispecies model. Furthermore, we found that a pulse fishing yields higher value in cod (predator) compared to the uniform (current) fishing policy.

Mapping the bycatch seascape: multispecies and multi-scale spatial patterns of fisheries bycatch.
Fisheries bycatch is a worldwide conservation issue. Despite a growing awareness of bycatch problems in particular ocean regions, there have been few efforts to identify spatial patterns in bycatch events. Furthermore, many studies of fisheries bycatch have been myopic, focusing on a single species or a single region. Using a range of analytical approaches to identify spatial patterns in bycatc...
متن کاملEvaluating catch and mitigating risk in a multispecies, tropical, inshore shark fishery within the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area
Small-scale and artisanal fisheries for sharks exist in most inshore, tropical regions of the world. Although often important in terms of food security, their low value and inherent complexity provides an imposing hurdle to sustainable management. An observer survey of a small-scale commercial gill-net fishery operating within the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage area revealed at least 38 spec...

متن کاملMulti-species Assessment of Tunas Caught in the Tropical Atlantic Purse Seine Fishery: Sensitivity of Production Models to Biases in Reported Catches
In this document, different scenarios of uncertainties in a multispecies fishery are presented. Uncertainties have been considered in the estimation of the species composition of the tropical tuna catch as well as in the total catch. Although three species (yellofin, skipjack and bigeye) are involved in the tropical tuna fishery, only uncertainties in the bigeye vs skipjack have been taken into...
