Future For Fish tarafından yayınlanan gönderi

🎣 Recreational catch can be massive! Anglers from the beach, along craggy shores, from private and chartered boats, through clubs, privately, over weekends, evenings and holidays, can catch surprisingly large quantities through sheer multiples of numbers of people fishing. ICES received a fisheries advice request asking: Where recreational fisheries take a significant part of the catches, catch scenarios shall include recreational and commercial fishing mortality, individually and in combination. Qualifying, quantifying, and incorporating this catch into assessments is not always straightforward. To explore how we can best achieve this, the Workshop on Recreational Fisheries in Stock Assessments gathered 26 scientists from 18 organizations and 15 countries in July 2023. The workshop report, just published, sets out international examples and makes recommendations on how and when to achieve these goals. This work will set the way we collectively include commercial catch and recreational catch to evaluate the status of fisheries resources. ℹTake a look: ICES Workshop on Recreational Fisheries in Stock Assessments: https://lnkd.in/eQ2UmjK2  

"... found important gaps in the data reported by the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC) on behalf of its 30 member countries, which mask how much is being extracted to supply the global high-value seafood market.“ The Indian Ocean has experienced a steep increase in industrial fisheries for large pelagic species, like albacore and skipjack tuna, over the past 70 years, from 44,000 tonnes a year in the 1950s to 1.4 million tonnes in recent years,” Kristina Heidrich, lead author of the study, said. “Today, the Indian Ocean is home to the world’s second-largest fisheries for large pelagic fishes, which generates annual revenues of around US$6.5 billion. However, we found that a big chunk of what they catch is either discarded at sea or not reported when landed.” https://lnkd.in/gfrKi-M9

The Department of Fisheries on Monday signed an MoU with the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) platform to provide better market access for the fisheries sector.

Economic geography for Ocean Fishing and Aquaculture across the planet: Fish and seafood is the most  widespread animal protein group consumed by the human world and the first choice in over 56 countries. Yet where are all those millions of metric tons of fish captured? And are they caught primarily by the massive fleet of over 70,000 industrial fishing vessels and boats, or farmed in sprawling aquaculture installations? The below table assembled by Perrin Remonté highlights those world fish and seafood champion countries with biggest combined fishing and aquaculture (farmed fish) activity outputs registered in 2021. By far, China comes as the absolute champion both in terms of captured fish and farmed fishstock, followed by other Asian biggest fish suppliers of Indonesia, India, Vietnam, South Korea et al. including Norway, Egypt and Chile as few non-Asian fish producers, with Japan ending the 12-list of the top fish-eaters: #fishingindustry #oceanfishing #aquaculture #farmedfish #globalfishing https://lnkd.in/ef-UyHXJ
