Jacques GUILLAUME Professeur à l’Université de Nantes REMERCIEMENTS Souvent perçue et appréhendée comme un travail individuel fastidieux (elle l’est c’est vrai, je le confirme), la thèse est aussi (et surtout) une expérience personnelle riche d’enseignements mais qui ne saurait aboutir sans le soutien de plusieurs personnes qui, de près ou de loin, ont toutes à un moment donné, contribué à l’élaboration final de ce travail. Mes premiers remerciements s’adressent en premier lieu à la personne qui a bien voulu s’engager dans cette aventure avec moi, à savoir mon directeur de thèse Jacques Guillaume à qui je suis très reconnaissant de m’avoir supporté – dans les deux sens du terme – depuis maintenant près de huit ans. De ces années de travail en commun, je retiendrais, outre la pertinence scientifique de son regard géographique sur un sujet aussi inconnu pour lui que pour moi, la compréhension patiente et confiante qu’il a toujours témoigné à mon égard lors de nos divers échanges. Mes remerciements suivants vont ensuite à Mme Sylvie Brunel, M. Christian Bouquet, Jean-Pierre Corlay et Alain Le Sann pour avoir accepté de faire partie de ce jury de thèse et de rapporter et/ou d’examiner celle-ci. Enfin, certaines institutions méritent également notre gratitude, et tout particulièrement : - l’Université de Nantes et l’IGARUN pour l’octroi successif d’une allocation de recherche accompagné d’un poste de moniteur, puis d’un poste d’ATER, suivies de vacations, qui m’ont permis de pouvoir exercer ma passion d’enseigner pendant cinq ans. - le laboratoire Géolittomer LETG UMR 6554-CNRS pour son soutien tant logistique que financier à quelques uns des nombreux déplacements occasionnés par cette thèse (mission de terrain, colloques...). Je souhaiterais notamment remercier Gile et Laurent pour leurs précieux soutiens. Les divers militants croisés au cours de mes investigations ne sauraient être oubliés, tant mes rencontres avec ces derniers ont profondément influencé ce travail. A défaut de les citer tous, je souhaiterais plus particulièrement remercier : - les membres du collectif Pêche & Développement, notamment Alain (Le Sann), Fanny (Brun), René-Pierre (Chever), et Danièle (Le Sauce) ; - mon couple belge préféré, Brian (O’Riordan) et Béatrice (Gorez) ; - Jean Desrues, Philippe Mayol et Charlotte Kréder du CCFD ainsi que Pierre Vuarin de la Fph. Je tiens également à remercier mes diverses « familles d’accueils » qui m’ont très largement aidé lors des mes séjours sur Madagascar : - l’ensemble des personnels de l’Apostolat de la Mer de Toamasina et Mahajanga (entre autres Élias, Jean-Baptiste, Mme Évelyne, Mme Lucie), mais surtout M. Félix pour nos longues et joyeuses « diarrhées verbales » à Toamasina ; - la famille Rafomanana sur Antananarivo ; - Thierry et Coco pour m’avoir « chaleureusement » hébergé lors de mes séjours sur Mahajanga ; - et pour finir bien sur mes chères collègues Dabe et Landy. Par ailleurs, parmi les innombrables thésards qui se sont illustrés au sous-sol de la cave, je n’oublie pas les (anciens) doctorants géographes (Fanny, Hélène, Nora, Thierry,...) ou biologistes d’ailleurs (ça y est Tom et Axel..., j’ai fini) pour leur compréhension d’un labeur « partagé ». Une mention spéciale toutefois à une poignée d’entre eux, mes fidèles compagnons du quotidien : Nico et surtout Ion, pour nos innombrables moments de décontraction (déconcentration) ; Eddy, pour ses multiples papillonnages et ses discussions passionnées sur la terre malagasy ; An, pour la sagesse et la gentillesse qu’il fait régner au sein de notre salle de travail ; Claire, pour son précieux soutien dans la dernière ligne droite et notre conception commune de la recherche... Enfin, pour terminer, plusieurs clins d’œil affectueux à mon entourage : - à mes quatre « géomen » préférés (Jojo, Dam’s, Coutch et Nonot) à qui je dois beaucoup pour mon épanouissement géographique mais pas seulement… - 3 - - à mon clan volleyballistique nazairienne (La Muse, Ludo, Maxou...) qui n’ont pas (toujours) compris en quoi ce travail consistait, et c’est pas grave... - à ma famille nanto-nazairienne, qui s’est élargi jusque dans le Périgord, pour leur soutien sans faille et leur compréhension d’un travail que je n’ai pas toujours rendu perceptible. Spéciale dédicace à J-P pour tes relectures attentives … Enfin, je ne saurais conclure cette série de remerciements sans évoquer celles à qui je dois énormément : - ma « juju » pour son soutien affectueux de tous les instants au cours de cette nouvelle expérience commune ; - et mes deux p’tites louloutes pour leur fraicheur et leur candeur si salvatrice au quotidien… - 4 - NOTES AUX LECTEURS Au vue de l’importance des sigles et des abréviations utilisées dans ce travail de thèse, le lecteur peut utilement se référer au répertoire construit à cet effet en fin de thèse, dans la partie « Tables », des pages 457 à 460. Par ailleurs, en vue des multiples références bibliographiques mobilisées tout au long de ce travail, il nous est apparu opportun de scinder cette bibliographie en deux sessions distinctes. La première regroupe des pages 379 à 415 une littérature générale que l’on pourrait qualifier de « scientifique » : ouvrages généraux, articles scientifiques, revues spécialisées, travaux universitaires, rapports de recherche, etc. La seconde cherche quant à elle à isoler d’un point de vue méthodologique une littérature plus « militante », en particulier celle promue par les altermondialistes halieutiques : ouvrages, revues spécialisées, comptes-rendus d’ateliers et de Forums, etc. (pages 416 à 428). Parmi la littérature militante produite par les altermondialistes de l’halieutique, trois supports méritent selon nous d’être plus particulièrement soulignés : les revues Samudra et Yemaya publiées par l’ICSF, la Lettre d’information trimestrielle du Collectif Pêche & Développement publiée par le CRISLA. - 5 - - 6 - SOMMAIRE INTRODUCTION GENERALE………………………………………………………………P11 PARTIE 1 – DE LA MONDIALISATION A LA GLOBALISATION HALIO-AQUACOLE …………………………………………………………………………………………………….P37 CHAPITRE 1 : UNE GEOHISTOIRE DES MONDES AQUATIQUES A DOMINANTE HALIEUTIQUE..P41 CHAPITRE 2 : LA STRUCTURATION DU SYSTEME-MONDE AQUATIQUE SOUS L’ERE DE LA GLOBALISATION……………………………………………………………………………….….P81 CHAPITRE 3 : DES ACTIVITES HALIO-AQUACOLES DANS « LA MER DE L’AVIDITE » ?

  • 1 New England Fishery Management Council Amendment 13 to The
    New England Fishery Management Council Amendment 13 to the Northeast Multispecies FMP Public Hearing Summary Portland, ME September 25, 2003 A public hearing was held to receive comments on the draft Amendment 13 to the Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan and the accompanying Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (DSEIS). The meeting was chaired by Groundfish Oversight Committee Chair Mr. Frank Blount, assisted by Council staff Tom Nies. Council members Mr. George LaPointe, Mr. Lew Flagg, Mr. John Williamson, Mr. Bud Fernandes, Mr. Erik Anderson, and Mr. Jim Odlin were also present. There were about two hundred people in attendance, sixty who signed the attendance sheet. After introductions, Council staff provided an overview of the amendment documents (including the public hearing document and the measures matrix) and described the comment process and future actions. The public then asked questions to clarify the issues before providing comments. The questions asked, with staff responses, were: Ms. Maggie Raymond, Associated Fishermen of Maine (AFM), South Berwick ME: Here with me today are Mr. David Frulla, legal counsel to AFM and several others from AFM. During the comment period I will let you hear from members of AFM that you don't usually hear from. I have a number of questions about the document and the analysis. The document includes as the No Action alternative the Amendment 8 biomass targets. However that is not listed in the public hearing document. Is that indeed an optio n. Mr. Nies: That is the No Action alternative. Ms. Raymond If the Council chose those biomass targets, would there be different fishing mortality targets that result? Mr.

  • Electric Pulse Fishing
    Jeremy Percy Executive Director Low Impact Fishers of Europe [LIFE] • Traditional Beam trawling • Operation • Impacts • Electric Pulse trawling • Operation • Impacts • Discussion • A petition was presented to Parliament in 1376 calling for the prohibition of a "subtlety contrived instrument called the wondyrchoum". This was an early beam trawl with a wooden beam, and consisted of a net 6 m (18 ft) long and 3 m (10 ft) wide. • “of so small a mesh, no manner of fish, however small, entering within it can pass out and is compelled to remain therein and be taken...by means of which instrument the fishermen aforesaid take so great abundance of small fish aforesaid, that they know not what to do with them, but feed and fatten the pigs with them, to the great damage of the whole commons of the kingdom, and the destruction of the fisheries in like places, for which they pray remedy” • Thus, already back in the Middle Ages, basic arguments about three of the most sensitive current issues surrounding trawling - the effect of trawling on the wider environment, the use of small mesh size, and of industrial fishing for animal feed - were already being raised • Benthic Impacts • Changes in benthic communities • By Catch • Discard rate • Carbon footprint • Fuel use per kg landed fish: 2.13 euro • Fuel cost as percentage of revenues; 52% • Fuel use per day at sea: 7,311 L • Net Profit 2013: beamtrawl -1.4 mln.

    working for the oceans ELECTRIC 'PULSE' FISHING: WHY IT SHOULD BE BANNED JANUARY 2018 ELECTRIC 'PULSE' FISHING: WHY IT SHOULD BE BANNED | JANUARY 2018 2 ELECTRIC 'PULSE' FISHING: WHY IT SHOULD BE BANNED Europe needs to decide on a 'Frankenstein' case, a problem we have entirely crea- ted for ourselves: electric 'pulse' fishing'. Electric fishing, which is forbidden in most fishing nations in the World, including China, was also banned in Europe until the European Commission and Council, at the end of 2006, made an ille- gitimate decision to authorize the use of electric current to catch fish and grant unjustified exemptions. This ruling went against scientific advice, only to satisfy the pressure exerted by a private interest group: the Dutch industrial beam trawl fleet. The use of electricity in the wild has serious environmental and socio-eco- nomic consequences: not only is the seabed impacted by huge industrial nets, but all marine life is now electrocuted. Europe needs to fix the problems it has created. The survival of the small- scale fishing sector requires that Europe definitively bans this destructive fishing technique. Electric 'pulse' fishing is a technological trick which halves fuel consumption, so that a fleet of otherwise cash-strapped Undoubtedly, 'regular' beam fishing units can be kept in operation. Under the guise of "ex- trawls are devastating and al- perimental fishing" a whole fleet in the Netherlands has been converted to a fishing method that is banned in Europe (and ternatives must be sought. But elsewhere in the world). Several million euros of public money solutions should not threa- have been allocated to equipping Dutch vessels with electric 'pulse' trawls, with the complicity of the public authorities.

Abstract Pulse fishing may be a global optimal strategy in multicohort fisheries. In this article we compare the pulse fishing solutions obtained by using global numerical methods with the analytical stationary optimal solution. This allows us to quantify the potential benefits associated with the use of periodic fishing in the Northern Stock of hake. Results show that: first, management plans based exclusively on traditional reference targets as Fmsy may drive fishery economic results far from the optimal; second, global optimal solutions would imply, in a cyclical manner, the closure of the fishery for some periods and third, second best stationary policies with stable employment only reduce optimal present value of discounted profit in a 2%. Key words: optimal fisheries, management optimization in age-structured models, pulse fishing 1. Introduction Since Beverton and Holt (1957) target reference points have been one of the main tools used by fishery managers to make decisions about future catch options.
