Abstract Small-scale fisheries play a critical role in food security and contribute to nearly half of reported global fish catches. However, the status most small-scale stocks is still poor. In data-limited situations, length-based methods have been widely applied estimate reference points understand stock status. This study three different assessment (length-based indicators—LBI, spawning potential ratio—LBSPR, Bayesian biomass approach—LBB) predict sustainability Azores. Overall, showed...
Small-scale fishing is a multi-gear activity that focuses on wide range of species. As there considerable diversity species, it often difficult to keep track all those are caught, and due the lack data or poor quality, most stock statuses currently unknown around world. Therefore, local ecological knowledge provided by fishers has been regarded as valuable source information bridge these crucial gaps. This study assesses vulnerability status 22 stocks in Azores, through productivity...
Combining scientific information with fishers’ perceptions may be a robust approach for directing decision-makers working marine ecosystems. This is particularly the case when baseline data on vulnerable stock are poor, as integration of experiential knowledge can help fill gaps, well inform legitimate management actions, and empower fishing communities in resource management. study aimed to analyze regarding biology (reproduction, growth, maximum size) temporal changes abundance size six...
Successful conservation outcomes often depend on changing human behaviours that negatively impact biodiversity, such as unsustainable wildlife harvesting or illegal trade (IWT). However, inclusive psychology models examine motivations of those have been underutilised in IWT contexts. This research examines the drivers and consumption sea turtles Maio, Cabo Verde (West Africa), by adapting data from interviews (n=20) questionnaires (n=325) into Comprehensive Action Determination Model, an...
The Azorean demersal fishery sector is one of the most important in archipelago. As a small-scale fishery, it plays an role livelihood community, being source employment and income, contributing to poverty alleviation. Because fisheries are complex system, multidisciplinary approach that includes socioeconomic indicators required for broader assessment sustainability. This study analyzes bottom longline using Fishery Performance Indicators tool, regarding its ecology, economy, community...
Fishers' experiential knowledge (FEXK) is increasingly recognized as a potential source of information on fishery resources, particularly in data-deficient scenarios. In the Azores, fisheries are classified small-scale because around 60% vessels smaller than nine meters length and target several species. Local communities benefit from this activity various ways, including cultural aspects, employment, food security. However, for some commercially exploited biological ecological aspects...
