The majority of trawl selectivity studies for the three redfish species particular commercial importance in North Atlantic fisheries: Sebastes marinus, mentella and fasciatus, are based on data collected from diamond mesh codends with sizes ranging 88 mm to 147 mm.We demonstrate how results these can be understood by morphological characteristics species.We predict codend size selection golden (S. marinus) individuals.Further, consistent previously reported similarities between species, we...
To limit compromising the integrity of planet, a shift is needed towards food production with low environmental impacts and carbon footprint. How to put such transformative change sustainable whilst ensuring security into practice remains challenge will require transdisciplinary approaches. Combining expertise from natural- social sciences as well industry perspectives, an alternative vision for future in marine realm proposed. This includes moving aquaculture mainly trophic (LTM) species....
Abstract Schwach, V., Bailly, D., Christensen, A-S., Delaney, A. E., Degnbol, P., van Densen, W. L. T., Holm, McLay, H. A., Nielsen, K. N., Pastoors, M. Reeves, S. and Wilson, D. C. 2007. Policy knowledge in fisheries management: a policy brief. – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 64: 798–803. The EU project Knowledge Fisheries Management investigated the use biological various parts system, using North Sea cod as case study. examined way scientific advice was generated from technical...
Using experimental data and a model to predict size selection based on morphological data, we investigated of redfish (Sebastes spp.) in the grid-based systems used Northeast Atlantic trawls. We found that not all make physical contact with spacing between bars sorting grids while they pass direction codend, therefore escapement some undersized depends codend. estimate most combined system (consisting 55-mm grid diamond mesh codend) happens through grid. demonstrated for one two increase...
This investigation demonstrates how a multidisciplinary approach based on the FISHSELECT framework, sea trial data, underwater recordings, and laboratory investigations of netting can be applied to size selectivity studies related management issues. We studied morphological characteristics Atlantic cod ( Gadus morhua ) haddock Melanogrammus aeglefinus in Barents Sea bottom trawl fishery. The differences between L 50 values (i.e., at which fish has 50% chance being retained) that were...
Abstract Discard bans have been proposed as part of management policies aimed at balanced harvest (BH). Nationwide discard exist in several countries, including Chile, the European Union, Norway, and New Zealand. We analysed experiences from these countries to determine whether or not are contradiction with BH, based on six aspects: policy objectives, species/sizes applicability, accompanying technical measures, at-sea monitoring control, possible impacts. When fully implemented, fishing...
Abstract Blue economy developments entail an industrialization of the world’s ocean and coastal areas, placing growing pressures on marine environment ecosystems. Moreover, competition for space resources increases likelihood social conflicts. Marine spatial planning has been presented as a tool that can avoid or mitigate However, there is need more thorough analysis conflicts linked to blue economy. The objective this paper analyze characteristics how they are shaped by institutional...
While the notion of results based management has been devoted recent attention in context reforming European fisheries management, it remains unclear what entails. A conceptual model is proposed as a way for public authorities to delegate specific and documentation responsibilities resource users. The comprises three defining features: (1) That define measurable objectives utilization resources; (2) that users are made responsible achieving these (3) providing allows an audit extent which...
Abstract The International Council for the Exploration of Sea (ICES) occupies a central role in advice system to support implementation an ecosystem approach fisheries management (EAFM) European Union (EU). Despite improvements, its capacity deliver seems be far from fully functional operational framework. To what extent availability appropriate scientific is barrier more widespread use EAFM Europe remains open question. Building on findings large research project, this article explores ICES...
Abstract Trends towards a more participatory agenda in policy-relevant science imply that the roles and work tasks of scientists become multifaceted. In Europe, increased use multiannual plans creates need for fishery to contribute with their expertise wide variety situations. We identify characterize four as developers , reviewers judges messengers arenas where management are produced evaluated. Using examples producing evaluating pelagic fish stocks we present different scientific how they...
Abstract With increasing activities of multiple sectors in marine spaces, management social–ecological systems requires more holistic approaches. Adopting such an approach, however, presents difficult institutional and disciplinary challenges. Here, we use the International Council for Exploration Sea (ICES) as a case study on implementation ecosystem-based (EBM) integrated ecosystem assessments (IEAs). ICES includes EBM IEAs its Science Priorities established IEA Working Groups (WGs) to...
Abstract Hauge, K. H., Nielsen, N., and Korsbrekke, 2007. Limits to transparency—exploring conceptual operational aspects of the ICES framework for providing precautionary fisheries management advice. – Journal Marine Science, 64: 738–743. approach advice is based on limit reference points (LRPs) reflecting stock status (PRPs) risk levels. As LRPs are exclusively science-based, while PRPs management-based, this deployed towards satisfying ideal a clear division science management's...
What role should science take when providing advice in support of policy and politics? Should a provider science-based have its own position on the issues it provides advise on? Or be as impartial possible from value context advice? This theme, long debated, gained new attention fisheries marine governance. Starting theoretical concepts stylised models, this study attends to theory-practice gap by investigating concrete advisory practices. We analyse roles that International Council for...
The diversity of nanotechnologies and the governance challenges that their applications raise calls for exploration learning across different cases. We present an Upstream Oversight Assessment (UOA) expected benefits potential harms nanoparticles made a synthetic polymer (PLGA) to improve vaccines farmed salmon. Suggested by Jennifer Kuzma colleagues, UOA may help identify prioritise research needs, it support evaluations adequacy relevant existing regulatory frameworks. In this work,...
Abstract We present a framework for results‐based management ( RBM ) of commercial fisheries. The core idea is to reduce micromanagement by delegating responsibility resource users. represents an industrial organization approach co‐management and comprises three defining processes, conducted independent “agents”: (i) “authority” defines specific measurable achievable objectives (outcome targets, OT s) the utilization fisheries resources, (ii) user organizations (termed “operators”) take...
