Evaluation of effort-based management in the Faroe Plateau cod fisheries : comparison with TAC management using FLR
In 1996, an effort-based management system was introduce in the Faroe Islands, in order to regulate the demersal gadoid fishery. This system represents a unique and innovative fisheries management case study.This work aims at evaluating its efficiency by comparing it with a TAC management system as it exists in Europe. A Management Strategy Evaluation model (MSE) was built using FLR framework. A MSE is based on an Operating Model (OM) which simulates the stock and a Management Procedure (MP) using Harvest Control Rules (HCR). Different management scenarios were tested (effort or TAC, with or without bound) under different conditions (initial biomass above or below Bpa) with stochastic simulations compare uncertainty in those two systems. In results, an effort system seems to be more biologically sustainable than a TAC one, while producing less variability. However, the underlying assumption of a constant catchability (link between effort and fishing mortality) appears to not be verified in the Faroese
Eliminating Poverty in Britain
Can we really end poverty in Britain? Yes, we can. In this groundbreaking book, Helen Rowe brings together the latest research with stories from across Britain to show us that ending poverty in the twenty-first century is possible. She describes the effects of deprivation on our society, institutions, communities, families and individuals – down to their very DNA. By using a combination of compassion, focus and a plan, Rowe describes how we can end poverty in five years, without raising taxes. Her radical ideas are grounded in practical realities, as she reveals how ordinary processes can yield extraordinary results. This book has huge ramifications for Britain and every developed nation globally. It will force governments to face an issue that has been ignored for too long. After Covid-19, Brexit, war, austerity and the global financial crash, Britain deserves a more positive future. How do we create it? Eliminating Poverty in Britain has the answers.
Comparative Evaluations of Innovative Fisheries Management
Comparative Evaluations of Innovative Fisheries Management begins with a look at four places outside the European Union known for innovative management: New Zealand, Nova Scotia, Alaska and Iceland. Then the focus shifts to the success criteria related to specific disciplines including biological and social robustness, economic efficiency and impacts on management costs. Hypotheses are tested using data capable of generating useful results. The main conclusions include a retrospective of how key concepts defined and represented the various perspectives, skills and backgrounds that made up the multidisciplinary CEVIS project.
Length-based Modelling of North Sea Fish Growth
This thesis focuses on the temporal variations in growth affecting commercial species of fish in the North Sea. The aims were firstly to review the modelling tools available to study fish growth in the North Sea, and secondly to investigate the implications of the observed increase in North Sea temperature on the growth of commercial fish species. The von Bertalanffy growth function (VBGF) is a reliable and flexible model to study fish growth and was employed throughout this thesis. The age-length keys (ALKs) used to model fish growth were length-stratified samples and were showed to result in biased VBGF parameter estimates. Thus, ALKs should be corrected by the length frequency observed in...
Benchmark Workshop on North Sea Stocks (WKNSEA)
Four stocks were included in the Benchmark: Cod (27.47d20), Spurdog (dgs.27.nea), Sole (sol.27.7d) and Whiting (whg.27.6a).
Climate Change and Food Security in Asia Pacific
Using an interdisciplinary approach, this book evaluates the complex nexus between climate change and regional food security in Asia Pacific. Feeding the planet puts a lot of stress on the environment. The fundamental challenges we are facing today include how to grow more from less in a sustainable manner; how to optimize the entire food value chain from field to fork to reduce the carbon footprint, protect the environment and support biological diversity, cause less water pollution and soil erosion, raise levels of nutrition, improve agricultural productivity, better the lives of rural populations and contribute to the growth of the world economy. With a robust multi-site study in Southeast Asia, Pacific Island Forum and South Asia, this book examines the regional initiatives on, the current state of, and the future prospects for mitigations and resilience regarding climate change and food security vis-à-vis other regions of the world.
