The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has brought a global socio-economic crisis to almost all sectors including the fishery. To limit infection, governments adopted several containment measures. In Italy, Croatia, and Slovenia, lockdown period was imposed from March May 2020, during which many activities, restaurants had close or their business. All of this caused strong reduction in seafood requests consequently, decrease fishing activities. aim study is investigate effects COVID-19...
Climate change is altering the functioning of ecosystems and species distribution worldwide, with negative impacts on human activities, including fisheries. The Adriatic Sea an extremely productive area for fisheries, due to strong outflow nutrients from rivers periodic mixing Mediterranean. However, also a semi-closed basin, where do not have ability move higher latitudes avoid warming waters. acts biodiversity in variety ways, such as causing changes trophic network—favoring intake...
The implementation of management measures for improving the ecological status within an Ecosystem Based Management approach represents one main challenges in coastal and transitional water environments. In general terms, ecosystem functioning are expected to be positively associated, being good processes a sort prerequisite health, but often relationships between indicators metrics used define resulted rather puzzling. Moreover, Biological Quality Elements (BQEs) do not show consistent...
Recreational fishing is practiced by thousands of people in European coastal waters and steadily gaining popularity. Serving multiple purposes, recreational provides fresh fish for meals, offers leisure, contributes to traditional ecological knowledge, especially at the local level. Therefore, analyzing its dynamics catch a complex task, since they not only depend on environmental features but also behavior fishers. In areas, however, most fishers remain unmonitored, making it difficult...
The relationships between habitat patterns and ecosystem functioning have been widely explored in terrestrial ecosystems, but less marine coastal calling for further research this direction. This work focuses on the mosaic of submerged habitats Venice lagoon, Italy. It aims to describe habitats' spatial at multiple scales, explore their linkages with ecological status defined according EU Water Framework Directive (WFD, 2000/60/EC). has analysed by calculating a set seascape metrics...
Small-Scale Fishery (SSF) is recognized as one of the more sustainable among activities currently exploiting marine renewable resources. This mainly due to use fishing gears characterised by a low environmental impact and high selectivity. However, there still room for improvement when analysing sustainability SSF sector. Within this context, Greenhouse Gases (GHG) emissions – CO2 in particular are most relevant aspect be considered. In particular, fuel consumption its reduction represent...
Abstract Implementing the Ecosystem Approach in marine ecosystems is moving from preliminary steps—dedicated to defining optimal features for indicators and developing efficient indicator frameworks—towards an operational phase where multisector management decisions are executed using this information. Within context, emergent ecosystem properties becoming quite promising as they have been demonstrated be globally widespread repeatable, effective detecting significant state variations of...
Possible effects of the spatial scale analysis on relationship between fishery landings and water temperature in Mediterranean Sea have been investigated using FAO capture database (1970-2010). The was performed by dividing species three thermal affinity categories: cold, temperate hot species. Results showed significant changes composition during last four decades, terms relative contribution to landings; moreover, presence a strong influence warming determining temporal pattern has...
