and customary fishers mainly take white sharks as bycatch in gillnets, and occasionally on longlines (Duffy unpubl. data). Sport fisheries for white sharks in New Zealand are largely undeveloped and fishers often tag and release those they do catch (Mossman 1993; Wilson 2002). A protective beach meshing programme run by Dunedin City Council (DCC) operates seasonally off Brighton, St. Clair and ...

Recent reports suggest that many well-assessed fisheries in developed countries are moving toward sustainability. We examined whether the same conclusion holds for fisheries lacking formal assessment, which comprise >80% of global catch. We developed a method using species' life-history, catch, and fishery development data to estimate the status of thousands of unassessed fisheries worldwide. W...

Alaska fisheries are traditionally and economically important and, in 1992, fisheries subject to bycatch monitoring were valued at US$1.538 billion. Bycatch is the major seabird mortality factor and a serious conservation concern. Estimated average incidental mortality (1989-93) in selected fisheries was ca 11,200 birds annually. About 88% of the bycatch was in longline fisheries. Northern Fulm...

Figure 1. Who Eats How Much of WHAT? Estimated mean annual global catch/food consumption of marine mammals and fisheries by 9 major food types during an average year in the 1990s expressed as proportions of total (from Kaschner, 2004) 138. The percentages of different food types in marine mammal consumption were computed based on diet composition standardised across species 96. Corresponding pe...

There are tradeoffs in managing fisheries, and ideally such tradeoffs should be known when setting fisheries policies. An aspect of this, which is rarely considered, is the spin-off effect of different fisheries: the economic and social benefits that fisheries generate through processing through distribution and on to the end consumer. This study evaluated the benefits generated in the Peruvian...

This paper addresses the fisheries managementrelated knowledge of indigenous Islanders in Torres Strait, northern Australia. Islander knowledge will be situated both culturally and historically, before turning to the contemporary context of fisheries management and development. Islander fishermen have recently established dialogue with scientific fisheries managers; I argue that the success of ...

The Bohai Sea is one of the most important fisheries resources in China. Fisheries and mariculture are the main industries offering important food security by exploitation of migrating and stationary resources based on the same ecosystem in Bohai Sea. Understanding the potential bioeconomic interactions between fisheries and mariculture will provide the basis for fisheries and mariculture manag...
