This book was released on 1987 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The final report forms Part I of the volume, and reviews our knowledge of distributional patterns of commercial invertebrates (conch and lobster), demersal and small and large pelagic fish stocks occurring in the Lesser Antilles subregion of the WECAF Commission area, and on the basis of existing information, places these resources in objective categories from a fisheries management perspective. The main options for management of domestic and foreign fishing are outlined. Part II contains background documents on a variety of topics, including reviews of the existing data base on invertebrates and demersal fish stocks, swordfish and oceanic pelagics. An objective classification of stocks by mode of sharing is presented, foreign fishing activity in the subarea is reviewed, and seasonality and migrations of pelagic fish discussed. An overview of options for shared stock management is also included.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Western Central Atlantic Fishery Commission (WECAFC) area, large pelagics contribute only about 6% of total landings, but are nonetheless significant for many countries. Large pelagic fishes are caught in all WECAFC states, and within the WECAFC region by several distant water fishing nations. However only 19 of 40 WECAFC Member States report catches to FAO. The fisheries range in scale and technological sophistication from artisanal fishers trolling from canoes to modern commercial longliners and purse seiners (mostly from distant water fishing nations). The available information on development of small-scale and large scale fleets targeting large pelagics, indicates a significant trend of increasing fishing capacity in the countries of the WECAFC region. Several species which are not assessed by ICCAT are of considerable importance in large pelagic fisheries in the WECAFC region. Overall, about half the landings of large pelagics in the WECAFC region are from species which are assessed. Existing institutional mechanisms are not adequate for management of shared or straddling fish stocks and those of highly migratory fish, as per the recent UN Agreement. Any such institution must have linkages with extraregional organisations, primarily ICCAT, and, in order to maximise efficiency and avoid duplication, should also be able to deal with shared, straddling and migratory fish stocks other than pelagics, for example, lobster and reef fishes with planktonic early life history stages. WECAFC, with modifications to its statutes, appears to be the most feasible existing organisation to adopt such a role.

This book was released on 1994 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document provides information on the fisheries and state of stocks of a number of highly migratory species and straddling stocks. The section on highly migratory species covers the species listed in the relevant annex to the 1982 Convention on the Law of the Sea, such as tunas, billfish, marlins, oceanic sharks, marine turtles, pomfrets, dolphinfish and sauries, and also other species of actual or potential importance to high seas fisheries with migratory behaviour not listed in that annex (such as tuna-like species, squids, oceanic horse mackerel, etc.), of which very little is known. It does not cover marine mammals and salmon. It concludes that many of these resources have been severely reduced or depleted, illustrating the non-sustainable nature of today's exploitation of the high seas. The paper also reviews the major straddling stocks, region by region, identifying the species involved, the fisheries and, whenever possible, the status of the stocks and the management problems. It shows that there are more straddling stocks than those which have attracted international attention. It underlines the importance of pelagic straddling stocks particularly around island countries, and highlights some of the management problems.

This book was released on 1992 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part I of the volume summarizes the discussions of the main issues that arose from the national reports and the technical papers presented at the Meeting. It contains the conclusions and recommendations adopted by the meeting. The principal recommendation was policy guidelines for obtaining maximum sustainable benefits from the exploitation of the fishery resources within the EEZs. In this regard, governments were requested to review and refine their national policies for the development and management of the various fishery types within their EEZ and prepare comprehensive management and development plans for these fisheries. Part II contains the national reports of the countries represented at the Meeting, and the technical papers prepared for and presented at the Meeting. The topics covered by these documents include policy issues, legal regime for EEZ management, status of the resources, case studies on the living resources of the EEZ of Trinidad and Tobago and of the OECS countries, and methodological and operational aspects of statistical monitoring systems on the Caribbean.
