agunmukha river is an important water body having plentiful aquatic resources. the fisheries communities in the river are familiar with a diverse range of fishing gear and crafts to catch fish. therefore, the objectives of the present study were to explore fishing gear and fishing crafts, catch composition of the respective gearand identification of fish biodiversity of agunmukha river. a step ...

the present study considered the situation of kilka stocks in last decades by using overfished biomass threshold, fishing effort ratio and fishing mortality proxy during 1991-2010. the cpue index of anchovy and mixed-species of kilka indicated an undepleted from 1991 to 2000. in 2000, the cpue ratio declined to close to the “in danger” region, and subsequently collapsed to “overfished” region f...

The objective of this paper was to study angling from September, 2002 to September, 2004 in the Lobo-Broa Reservoir, Itirapina, SP (22 degrees 15' S and 47 degrees 49' W). Interviews (total 1,027) with sport fishers were accomplished in the three main fishing sites (Horto, Píer and Praia). This fishing was practiced with a simple fishing rod and reel, mainly in Horto, where the catches and fish...

Biodiverse coastal zones are often areas of intense fishing pressure due to the high relative density of fishing capacity in these nearshore regions. Although overcapacity is one of the central challenges to fisheries sustainability in coastal zones, accurate estimates of fishing pressure in coastal zones are limited, hampering the assessment of the direct and collateral impacts (e.g., habitat ...

Locally sustainable resource extraction activities, at times, transform into ecologically detrimental enterprises. Understanding such transitions is a primary challenge for conservation and management of many ecosystems. In marine systems, over-exploitation of small-scale fisheries creates problems such as reduced biodiversity and lower catches. However, long-term documentation of how governanc...

This paper used the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to measure the technical efficiency of fishing vessels in Haizhou Bay, and then used the Tobit regression to define its influencing factors. This study shows that the overall fishing capacity utilization of fishing vessels at present is very low which indicates that there is a serious waste of resources problem in Haizhou Bay. Specifically, th...

abstract nowadays, the management of water resources by planning through appropriate site selection, fish species storage and selection, enforcement and providing various side services has become a profitable, entrepreneurial and fun process. survey and usage of development of fee-fishing experience in the world wide represent a model in order to a better economical and fun plan offers and envi...

— This paper discusses the results of an applied research on the fishing activity based on a monitor system developed by a company and fishing reports produced at the end of each fishing activity. Due to economic interests combined with fishing limitations there is a natural tendency for wrong reporting. We apply Data Mining (DM) methodologies to find fishing patterns. These DM techniques in SQ...
