“…The involvement of ACs in the system suggests that the new CFP's reform is moving the fisheries management in Europe to a more responsive direction, towards Mode 2 science. But, before we conclude that ACs developments assure stakeholder participation in knowledge production for policy-making within the context of sciencebased management, problems regarding representation, deliberation, decision-making authority and delegation of power need to be addressed (Linke and Bruckmeier 2015;Linke and Jentoft 2014;Msomphora 2015).…”

The transformation of fisheries science in an applied context ('Mode 2') sciences is controversial within the scientific community. To investigate this issue, the conceptual shift from 'traditional academic science' (Mode 1 science) to 'modern post-academic science' (Mode 2 science) is used. The paper uses EU fisheries science with focus on ICES research as illustration for gaining new insights in the consequences and dilemmas of the transformation, in regards to the production of knowledge for policy-making in fisheries management. Hence the main question to be discussed in this paper is: what does the new kind of more applied 'Mode 2 science' mean for reliability, credibility, trustworthiness and quality assurance? This study, therefore, mainly demonstrates what such a transformation may imply to the scientific community and what consequences it might have for the way fisheries science is practised, and perceived in a political context.

Administrative practices supporting sustainability -recreational fishers' view to the management of brown trout and landlocked salmon stocks and fishing regulation in the Finnish Lake DistrictRecreational fishing is very popular and regionally extensive in Finland. As a multi-species fishery with a wide range of techniques, the sustainability of fishing of several species is questionable. Thus, fishing prevents recovery of endangered brown trout and critically endangered landlocked Atlantic salmon. The management of inland waters in Finland combines central and regional management, with participation of different fisher-groups arranged in principle. In practice, decisionmaking is biased towards local active landowners. So far, there has been little information on the management preferences of the fishers. This study aimed to gain a comprehensive view on the opinions concerning the management of these highly valued target species with a survey covering eight areas and three groups of fishers who through fishing or participation in decisionmaking influence the resources most. The results show that the fishers accept considerably more strict areal, temporal, gear and catch restrictions than present. Thus, the management has fallen behind in addressing sustainability of endangered species. However, fishers seem to have gained good understanding on the state of, and threats to, endangered species through wider access to information. Recreational fishers seem to emphasize quality of aquatic resources and fishing experience instead of catch.

“…If one seeks to identify realistic measures for fisheries management, it is important to understand both the ecosystem context, in which the fishing activities take place, and the preferences or motivations underlying the fishers' behavior (Bacalso et al, 2013). While modeling tools have widely been applied for ecosystem-based fisheries assessment (Christensen and Walters, 2005), there are as of yet very few examples in the literature of their application with fishers (Power et al, 2004), despite the fact that their participation and knowledge in the decision-making process have often been shown to enhance sustainable management (Paramor et al, 2005;Pita et al, 2010;Mackinson et al, 2011;Msomphora, 2015;Leite and Pita, 2016). There are quite a few studies that are using Ecopath with Ecosim (EwE) with local fishers and other stakeholders in surveys (Paramor et al, 2005;Bacalso et al, 2013) as well as in workshops (Power et al, 2004;Paramor et al, 2005;Armada et al, 2018).…”

“…Scientific data, if communicated adequately, have the potential to inform people and to help individuals in the process of weighting alternatives (Dietz, 2013). It has been shown, however, that scientific knowledge and the perception of local stakeholders are often disconnected in public decision-making, which may eventually lead to management measures that are not supported by or complied by the local stakeholders (Mackinson et al, 2011;Dietz, 2013;Msomphora, 2015). As Mackinson et al (2011) point out, the scientific findings and the perspectives of people need to be integrated in decision-making if the desired outcome is to utilize the best scientific information available and to harmonize it with the public's beliefs about how the world works to improve the management of resources.…”

“…On the other hand, the lack of coordinated effort between fishery stakeholders, researchers, and authorities/decision makers aggravates the situation (Proyecto Golfos, 2012). Many management initiatives do not work because stakeholders are not (or do not feel) involved in the processes (Msomphora, 2015). Moreover, the dynamics of fishing efforts are driven either by ecological (catch composition, environmental changes, etc.)…”
