  • The Development of a Semi-Quantitative Guideline for Monitoring Nearshore Fish Aggregating Devices
    • SPC activities • The development of a semi-quantitative guideline for monitoring nearshore fish aggregating devices Jeff Kinch,1 Joelle Albert2 and Anne-Maree Schwarz3 Nearshore fish aggregating devices (FADs) are just that, a device for aggregating fish in nearshore areas. Nearshore FADs have been deployed in many Pacific Island countries and territories (PICTs) as as a tool to enhance food security and income for fishers and communities (Albert et al. 2014; Masu and Albert 2014; Bell et al. 2015; Cambell et al. 2016; Tilley et al. 2019), and to reduce pressure on coastal fisheries (Sokimi and Beverly 2010; Amos et al. 2014).

  • Delaware Tailwaters Creel Survey Plan (PDF)
    DELAWARE TAILWATERS CREEL SURVEY PLAN 2018-2019 Prepared for the Fisheries Investigation Plan for the Delaware Tailwaters February 28, 2018 www.dec.ny.gov DELAWARE TAILWATERS CREEL SURVEY PLAN 2018-2019 February 28, 2018 Problem Statement The information on angler use characteristics and harvest data for the wild trout fishery of the Delaware River tailwaters is outdated. It predates significant changes in the fishery, including increasingly favorable reservoir releases for supporting trout. We also have reasons to believe angler use and harvest patterns have changed. The existing information is inadequate to support a scientific evaluation of whether declines in the quality of the fishery have occurred in response to current patterns of angler use. Need The need for present date angler use information has been identified by the Fisheries Investigation Plan (FIP) for the Delaware tailwaters (PFBC & NYSDEC, 2017). The plan calls for a creel survey in the Delaware tailwaters for the 2018 - 2019 trout seasons. Collecting this information is part of a comprehensive investigation plan that will provide the information necessary to develop a new trout management plan for the tailwaters system. Goals and Objectives The goal of the creel survey is to characterize the present-day angler use and exploitation of the Delaware tailwaters trout population. Specific objectives include quantifying species-specific: • Total angler effort per reach of West Branch, East Branch and Delaware River mainstem from Hancock to Callicoon • Catch rates for these sections • Harvest rates for these sections • Size structure and species composition of creel • Demographics and opinion data (i.e., angler satisfaction of the fishery) Timeframe The creel survey will take place from April 1 through October 15 for both 2018 and 2019.

  • Ice Fishing Creel Survey at Norton Pond and South Bay of Lake Memphremagog Jud Kratzer, Fisheries Biologist January 11, 2013
    Biologist Report: Ice fishing creel survey at Norton Pond and South Bay of Lake Memphremagog Jud Kratzer, Fisheries Biologist January 11, 2013 Northern pike are becoming an increasingly popular target for anglers fishing Vermont waters. The 1991, 2000, and 2010 statewide angler surveys have shown an increasing trend in the percentages of anglers listing northern pike as their most preferred species. In the 2000 and 2010 surveys, pike were the second most popular target for ice anglers (yellow perch were #1). Growing interest in northern pike over the past three Norton Pond decades has led some anglers to introduce the species 1/21/2012 illegally to new waters. Norton Pond and Lake 19.6 lbs Memphremagog are two of the many lakes around the David Reen state where northern pike have been illegally introduced. While these illegal introductions have certainly altered the existing fisheries in these waters through the addition of a new top predator, popular pike fisheries have developed at Norton Pond and South Bay of Lake Memphremagog, and both of these waters now have a reputation for producing trophy-sized pike. In an effort to better understand the changes in the fish populations and angling activity where northern pike have recently become established, Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department (VTFW) fisheries biologists conducted a creel survey at Norton Pond and South Bay of Lake Memphremagog to measure fishing effort, catch rate, total catch, and total harvest and to gauge pike angler opinions about VTFW’s management of these popular, yet controversial, fisheries. Previous creel surveys demonstrated that the majority of pike fishing and harvest occurs in the winter, so the 2012 creel survey occurred only during the ice fishing season, starting in late December 2011, when ice first became safe.

    THE PHILIPPINE FISHERIES SYSTEM: A MANAGEMENT PLANNING PERSPECTIVE by RAMYLEO T. PELAYO Special Project Report in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science Marine Resources Management Program College of Oceanography Oregon State University Corvallis, Oregon 1983 For Lilia and Janice ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My study grant for a masteral program in Marine Resources Management (MRM) came from the Philippine Governments agricul- tural loan project with the United States Government. I am therefore thankful to the officials and staffs of the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the projects coor- dinating agencies for their respective governments, and the Phil- ippine Council for Agriculture and Resources Research and Deve- lopment (PCARRD), the agency I work for. I am particularly indebted to Dr. Elvira 0. Tan, PCARRD Director for Fisheries Research, for recommending me for a fel- lowship. In the end, I appreciate the favorable appraisal of my graduate committee: Dr. Victor T. Neal, MRM Program Coordinator and project adviser; Prof. Robert Schoning of the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife; and Dr. William Pearcy of the College of Oceanography. Among my professors, I should thank Dr. Charles Warren for providing me with a fresh lens for viewing resource science and management. My deepest gratitude goes to Olga and Bruce Sutherland without whose generosity and friendship my experience here would not have been as meaningful and fruitful. I also give my thanks to several other people who helped me in different ways during the making of this report, especially Kathryn Boeckman, Peter Howd, Heather Fawkes, Gary Braun, Federico and Emma Valerio, Anne-Marie Fagnan, Tish Parmenter, Mark Solon, Peter Ochumba, Gustavo Montero, Taka Hirai, Bill Ratliff, and my co-workers in PCARRD, Cesar Pagdilao, Rachel Baguilat, and Ester Cortes.
