Sustainable Fisheries

Objectives

  • Provide more accurate and timelier information on catches, effort, landings, discards and quota uptake.
    • Effort
      • General success in predicting fishing behaviour using 15 minute GPS data
      • Ecosystem approach: temporal and spatial distribution of fisheries effort
      • Useful to cross-check “fishing behaviour” against ERS E-logbook information
      • “Effort while fishing” measure can lead to more precise effort management regimes
    • Catches and Discards
      • Success when using fishery specific approaches (ISL, GRL, English roundfish)
    • Landings and quota uptake
      • Cross-checking tool developed for Greenland: VMS / hail messages / landings
      • Catch & landings prediction from VMS for Icelandic Redfish
      • Generally, recommend use of ERS E-Logbook
  • Assess the benefits of this information for fisheries management
    • Simulation studies by CEFAS confirm value of near-real-time information
  • Presentation given at ICES, Profet Policy Workshop, Copenhagen 24/06/2008.
