Selective harvesting by small-scale fisheries: ecosystem analysis of San Miguel Bay, Philippines

Catches of target species and bycatches of an artisanal fishery: The case study of a trammel net fishery in the Portuguese coast

“…However, the high importance of small-scale fisheries and their contributions to the total worldwide captures, could match large-scale fisheries in terms of their global capacity to disturb ecosystems (Bundy and Pauly, 2001;Diaz-Uribe et al, 2007).…”

“…However, a recent report by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (2014) indicated that approximately 30% of world landings were fish trash or non-target species and 40% of them caught by artisanal fishing gears. Gill net is being considered among important fishing gears deployed by small-scale fishermen worldwide capable of matching large-scale fisheries in term of bycatch collection (Bundy and Pauly, 2001;Diaz-Uribe et al, 2007). Unfortunately, fish resources exploited by these fisheries are seldom studied and generally are not taken into account for assessment and management programs (Dıaz-Uribe et al, 2007).…”

“…Taking into account Johannes (1998) arguments for taking a precautionary approach for data-less fisheries management, unarguably, assessment of current fishing impact is necessary to prioritise fishing grounds and communities for fisheries management interventions and allocation of limited resources. With limited ecological data, this objective requires development and use of a systematic planning tool (Ban et al, 2009) that is less parameter intensive and that allows ad hoc assessment of the status of fisheries (Bundy and Pauly, 2001;Tsehaye and Nagelkerke, 2008).…”
