Marine protected areas (MPAs) are a global conservation and management tool to enhance the resilience of linked social-ecological systems with aim conserving biodiversity providing ecosystem services for sustainable use. However, MPAs implemented worldwide include large variety zoning schemes from single multiple-zoning no-take multiple-use areas. The current IUCN categorisation is based on objectives which many times have significant mismatch regulations causing strong uncertainty when...
Recreational shore fishing along 250 km of the south and south‐west coast Portugal was studied based on roving creel aerial surveys. Surveys were conducted between August 2006 July 2007, following a stratified random‐sampling design provided information catch effort, harvest discards, angler demographics habits. Overall, 192 surveys, 24 surveys 1321 interviews conducted. Based mean ± s.e . total effort 705 236 32 765 h year −1 estimated, corresponding to 166 430 9792 trips Average time spent...

This work is the result of an international research effort to determine main impacts COVID-19 pandemic on marine recreational fishing. Changes were assessed (1) access fishing, derived from lockdowns and other mobility restrictions; (2) ecosystems, because alterations in fishing intensity human presence; (3) blue economy, investments expenses fishers; (4) society, relation variations fishers’ health well-being. For this, a consultation with experts 16 countries was carried out, as well...
The feeding habits of Sparus aurata L., Diplodus annularis L. and Spondyliosoma cantharus in the Ria Formosa (southern Portugal) lagoon system were studied using three simple methods (frequency occurrence, numeric percentage weight) a composite index [index relative importance (IRI)]. Ivlev was used to evaluate diet selectivity, while Schoener overlap compare diets, diversity characterized by Simpson index. diets species consist wide variety food organisms, nevertheless S. seems be most...
Abstract Time series of commercial landings from the Algarve (southern Portugal) 1982 to 1999 were analyzed using min/max autocorrelation factor analysis (MAFA) and dynamic (DFA). These techniques used identify trends explore relationships between response variables (annual 12 species) explanatory [sea surface temperature, rainfall, an upwelling index, Guadiana river (south‐east flow, North Atlantic oscillation, number licensed fishing vessels fishermen]. Landings more highly correlated with...

Weight and length descriptive statistics are reported for 73 fish species discarded in the commercial fisheries from south coast of Portugal. Parameters weight–length relationship were estimated 57 these species. These first parameters 20 For an additional 16 which no have been reported, parameter a was by setting b = 3.0. Samples used five gear types: crustacean trawler, pelagic purse seine, demersal seine trammel net. obtained depths ranging <30 m to >500 included
Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) have been widely proposed as a fisheries management tool in addition to their conservation purposes. Despite this, few studies satisfactorily assessed the dynamics of fishers' adaptations loss fishing grounds. Here we used data from before, during and after implementation plan temperate Atlantic multiple-use MPA examine factors affecting spatial temporal distribution different gears by artisanal fleet.
