Book excerpt: "The National Bycatch Report provides the first national compilation of bycatch estimates for living marine resources of the United States that are managed by NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). The NMFS has prepared this report to evaluate the extent to which reliable quantitative bycatch information exists for federally managed commercial fisheries and fisheries with relevant Federal data-collection programs. The report also documents bycatch estimates and bycatch estimation methods for all fisheries for which this information was available in 2005.1 In addition to reviewing the state of bycatch data and estimation, this report establishes a baseline for tracking changes in bycatch over time, and is designed to assist NMFS in meeting legislative mandates for bycatch reduction, guiding policy, and setting priorities"--Executive summary.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "NOAA Fisheries is currently preparing a National Bycatch Report summarizing estimates of discards, by species, which occurred in 2005 in all federally managed fisheries in the United States. This document briefly describes the methods used to estimate the discards of finfish and shellfish in 2005 in fisheries in the Northeast Region, which will be included in the National Bycatch Report. The regional analysis involved 33 species and 77 fleets. Stock components were not considered in the analyses, and only fleets for which discard estimates could actually be derived will be included in the National Bycatch Report. The discard estimation process used a stratification approach broad enough to encompass all species, and employed a combined ratio method using a discard-to-kept weight ratio. The discard estimates derived will not necessarily directly correspond with those contained in individual stock assessments due to differences in stratification and estimation methods. However, the various estimates should be of the same order of magnitude"--Introduction.

This book was released on 2019-01-08 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Law Library presents the complete text of the Fisheries of the Northeastern United States - Standardized Bycatch Reporting Methodology Omnibus Amendment (US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Regulation) (NOAA) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 This final rule implements approved management measures contained in the Standardized Bycatch Reporting Methodology Omnibus Amendment to the fishery management plans of the Greater Atlantic Region, developed and submitted to NMFS by the Mid-Atlantic and New England Fishery Management Councils. This amendment is necessary to respond to a remand by the U.S. District of Columbia Court of Appeals decision concerning observer coverage levels specified by the SBRM and to add various measures to improve and expand on the Standardized Bycatch Reporting Methodology previously in place. The intended effect of this action is to implement the following: A new prioritization process for allocation of observers if agency funding is insufficient to achieve target observer coverage levels; bycatch reporting and monitoring mechanisms; analytical techniques and allocation of at-sea fisheries observers; a precision-based performance standard for discard estimates; a review and reporting process; framework adjustment and annual specifications provisions; and provisions for industry-funded observers and observer set-aside programs. This ebook contains: - The complete text of the Fisheries of the Northeastern United States - Standardized Bycatch Reporting Methodology Omnibus Amendment (US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Regulation) (NOAA) (2018 Edition) - A dynamic table of content linking to each section - A table of contents in introduction presenting a general overview of the structure

This book was released on 2017 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report describes the discard estimation analysis performed for Greater Atlantic Region fish and invertebrates for the forthcoming National Bycatch Report First Edition Update 3. Estimates of discards that occurred during the 2014 and 2015 calendar years in federally managed fisheries in the northeast United States were derived for 165 individual species and groups of finfish and invertebrates by using a combined discard/kept ratio estimator. Based on this analysis, approximately 101,356 mt (live weight) of discards occurred in 34 fleets in 2014, and approximately 99,542 mt (live weight) of discards occurred in 35 fleets in 2015 across the 165 individual species and groups considered. In both years, the predominant species discarded were (1) skates (Rajidae), (2) benthic species, other, and (3) American lobster (Homarus americanus). Sand dollars (Echinarachnius parma) was the driving species in the “Benthic Species, Other” group, contributing approximately 89% of the group’s total discards in 2014 and approximately 88% of the group’s total discards in 2015. Of the 2014 and 2015 discards, approximately 60,077 mt and 64,621 mt of discards occurred respectively for the 34 fish and invertebrate species with fishery management plans developed by the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council and the New England Fishery Management Council in the waters off the northeastern United States. The discards reported in this document may not necessarily correspond directly with the discard estimates derived for individual stock assessments because of differences in stratification, data, and estimation methods. Hence, the discard estimates presented here are not definitive but indicative of where discarding is occurring among commercial fisheries and for which species"--Executive Summary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "By examining a suite of over 90 indicators for nine major U.S. fishery ecosystem jurisdictions, Link and Marshak systematically track the progress the U.S. has made toward advancing ecosystem-based fisheries management (EBFM) and making it an operational reality. Covering a range of socioeconomic, governance, environmental forcing, major pressures, systems ecology, and fisheries criteria, they evaluate progress toward EBFM in the U.S., covering a wide range of longitude, latitude, and parts of major ocean basins, representing over 10% of the world’s ocean surface area. They view progress toward the implementation of EBFM as synonymous with improved management of living marine resources in general, and highlight lessons learned from a national perspective. Although US-centric, the lessons learned are applicable for all parts of the global ocean. Though much work remains, significant progress has been made to better address many of the challenges facing the sustainable management of our living marine resources"--Publisher's description.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ocean harvests have plateaued worldwide and many important commercial stocks have been depleted. This has caused great concern among scientists, fishery managers, the fishing community, and the public. This book evaluates the major models used for estimating the size and structure of marine fish populations (stock assessments) and changes in populations over time. It demonstrates how problems that may occur in fisheries dataâ€"for example underreporting or changes in the likelihood that fish can be caught with a given type of gearâ€"can seriously degrade the quality of stock assessments. The volume makes recommendations for means to improve stock assessments and their use in fishery management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fluctuations and declines in marine fish populations have caused growing concern among marine scientists, fisheries managers, commercial and recreational fishers, and the public. Sustaining Marine Fisheries explores the nature of marine ecosystems and the complex interacting factors that shape their productivity. The book documents the condition of marine fisheries today, highlighting species and geographic areas that are under particular stress. Challenges to achieving sustainability are discussed, and shortcomings of existing fisheries management and regulation are examined. The volume calls for fisheries management to adopt a broader ecosystem perspective that encompasses all relevant environmental and human influences. Sustaining Marine Fisheries offers new approaches to building workable fisheries management institutions, improving scientific data, and developing management tools. The book recommends ways to change current practices that encourage overexploitation of fish resources. It will be of special interest to marine policymakers and ecologists, fisheries regulators and managers, fisheries scientists and marine ecologists, fishers, and concerned individuals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The seafood processing industry produces a large amount of by-products that usually consist of bioactive materials such as proteins, enzymes, fatty acids, and biopolymers. These by-products are often underutilized or wasted, even though they have been shown to have biotechnological, nutritional, pharmaceutical, and biomedical applications. For example, by-products derived from crustaceans and algae have been successfully applied in place of collagen and gelatin in food, cosmetics, drug delivery, and tissue engineering. Divided into four parts and consisting of twenty-seven chapters, this book discusses seafood by-product development, isolation, and characterization, and demonstrates the importance of seafood by-products for the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and biomedical industries.
