“…Control rules such as capacity, selectivity, and effort limitation are the main measurement in fisheries management that may lead to low compliance (29). To nurture a culture of compliance, transparent management plans with cross-sector and multi-stakeholder coordination 29) and the inclusion of fishermen's attitudes and knowledge is essential for successful implementation (30,31).…”

Context:Oceans are encountering great loss of biodiversity. Global overfishing and overconsumption of aquatic foods prompted the European Union to create the Common Fishery Policy (CFP) with the intention of supporting sustainability of the environment, economy, and society, and to protect the long-term supply of aquatic foods. The Mediterranean Sea is a vulnerable European region due to fishing at unsustainable levels. Factors exacerbating the situation in this region include socio-economic conditions, weakregulatory power of the EU, poor communication and low levels of consensus among stakeholders.Policy Options:Three policy options are highlighted: 1) Fish-restricted areas (FRA) in eight Mediterranean regions to maintain or reverse fish collapse, as a means to recover fish stocks in regions with higher exploitation rates: 2) Supporting and improving small-scale fisheries (SSF) to reduce the impact on marine wildlife and increase selectivity, including standard gear and size restrictions,as well asstrict seasonal closures; 3) Integration of Participatory Action Research (PAR) to improve stakeholder compliance with the landing obligation.Recommendations:Policy options were assessed by four evaluation criteria (economic feasibility, effectiveness, political feasibility, and equity). Integrating the PAR into the CFP was deemed to be the best option of those examined. A positive impact on the economy, political feasibility, and equity for stakeholders would be expected outcomes of implementation of this alternative. Regular evaluation and continuous improvement would increase the likelihood of policy success.

“…NSFDSS is used for ranking a set of possible decisions on the basis of agreed-upon decision factors. This multi-criteria decision technique, although generally applied in participatory management of natural resources [69,74], was considered particularly suitable to be applied to derive the ranking of the diets on the basis of observations of the 7 parameters, because based on a simpler scoring scale respect to other techniques (0, 0.5, 1). The NSFDSS requires, as other MCDA tools, that the problem is structured into different steps: decomposition, comparative judgment, and synthesis of priorities.…”

Three groups of European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) were fed for seven months, with either a conventional diet or two different organic diets, which contain organic vegetables and a natural antioxidant compound. The two organic diets differed themselves in terms of raw proteins, fish oil, and lipid contents. Sea bass welfare condition was assessed in relation to these three diets, using 16 different indicators. These were: swimming activity (recovery test, muscle activity), haematological and serological stress indicators (haematocrit, haemoglobin, red-blood-cell count, cortisol, glucose, lactate), aspecific immunity parameter (lysozyme), indicators of exposure to organic contaminants (7-ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase and glutathione-S-transferase), and growth parameters (weight gain, specific growth rate, feed conversion ratio, protein efficiency ratio, and hepato-somatic index). Most of these parameters individually did not give consistent responses, but their integration can provide an accurate evaluation of the fish welfare conditions among the three diet experimental groups. The multiparametric approach outlined a comprehensive picture of sea bass physiological state. The principal component analysis and the multi-criteria-decision-analysis were found to be useful tools for an integrated fish welfare assessment, highlighting that the best welfare condition was achieved in the experimental group fed with the protein-rich organic diet.

“…The economic dimension was represented by two objectives that are related with economic development of a sustainable fishery: (1) to improve fleet efficiency; and (2) to achieve economic viability of the fishing sector. These objectives were defined based on existing literature on fisheries sustainability targets related to the CFP (Lembo et al, 2017) and legal guidelines [e.g., Regulation (EU) No. 508/2014 (EU, 2014b), and Union Priority 1 "Promoting environmentally sustainable, resource-efficient, innovative, competitive and knowledge-based fisheries"].…”

“…The essential properties of biological and socio-economic variables to become candidate indicators are their ability to inform on the direction of change in a fishery system (Jennings, 2005). Other useful properties of the variables are that they could be relatively easy or inexpensive to measure within current fisheries data collection schemes and that they should be easily understood by fisheries managers and other stakeholders, in order to facilitate good governance and decision making (Lembo et al, 2017;de Juan et al, 2018). In this work, a candidate list of variables was identified from relevant literature (amongst others: Jennings, 2005;Rice and Rochet, 2005;FAO, 2009;Lockerbie et al, 2016) and was then assessed by LO experts with the application of quality criteria (Queirós et al, 2016).…”
