ABNJ Regional Leaders Program ABNJ Regional Leaders Program 2015 – 2016 at the United Nations SUMMARY REPORT The ABNJ Regional Leaders Program promotes knowledge sharing and leadership development regarding marine areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ) among regional and national ocean leaders Project Organizers and Sponsors Global Ocean University Forum of Delaware Additional Support From UN - Nippon Foundation PSIDS Fellowship on of Japan Fellowship Oceans and Seas Programme Republic of Korea Project Partners Convention on Biological Diversity Secretariat Natural Science Institute for Sustainable Development and International Relations (IDDRI, France) ABNJ Regional Leaders Program United Nations, New York OVERVIEW The marine areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ), which comprise 64% of the ocean’s surface, contain ecosystems with marine resources and biodiversity of great ecological, socioeconomic, and cultural importance. A variety of human activities take place in ABNJ, including fishing, shipping, scientific research, and bioprospecting for genetic resources, in addition to new and emerging activities, such as carbon storage in the deep seabed and offshore energy exploitation.

    Advances in Seafood Byproducts 43 Alaska Sea Grant College Program • AK-SG-03-01, 2003 Utilization of Fish Byproducts in Iceland Sigurjon Arason Icelandic Fisheries Laboratories, and University of Iceland, Department of Food Science, Reykjavik, Iceland Abstract Fisheries are the single most important industry in Iceland, and will con- tinue to play an important role in the economy of Iceland for a long time to come. In 2001 the total catch was around 2 million tons, accounting for 62% of the country’s merchandise exports. The living marine resources are, however, limited and it is important to utilize these resources in a sustainable way. It is also important to maximize their value by produc- ing high-priced products from the raw material, which is currently be- ing used for fish meal or simply discarded. For example, today all cod heads from land-based processing plants are being utilized and lately the freezing trawlers have begun freezing them onboard for processing on shore. Fortunately, most of the byproducts are no longer regarded as waste but are used as raw material for fish processing like roe, liver, mince, viscera, etc. The byproducts from salting, freezing, and canning fresh fish and other processes have different qualities and potentials. Therefore, quality management is important and new technologies are emerging that will allow a new range of products to be made from byproducts which will, for example, benefit the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and food industries worldwide. Introduction The living marine resources in Icelandic waters are the most important natural resources in the country. In 2001, the total catch was around 2 million tons, (Fig.

  • Optimal Fishing Mortality Assignment for Southern Hake Merluccius Australis in Chile
    Latin American Journal of Aquatic Research, 48(4): 613-625, 2020 Fishing mortality assignment for southern hake, in Chile 613 DOI: 10.3856/vol48-issue4-fulltext-2283 Research Article Optimal fishing mortality assignment for southern hake Merluccius australis in Chile 1 1 2 Felipe López , Jorge Jimenez & Cristian Canales 1Departamento de Ingeniería Industrial, Facultad de Ingeniería Universidad de Concepción, Concepción, Chile 2Laboratorio Dinámica de Poblaciones Marinas y Modelamiento Estadístico (DIMARE) Escuela de Ciencias del Mar, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, Valparaíso, Chile Corresponding author: Felipe López ([email protected]) ABSTRACT. Since 1979, southern hake (Merluccius australis) has been exploited in Chile from the Bio Bio to the Magallanes regions, between the parallels 41°28.6'S and 57°S. There is evidence of a constant fishing effort and a sustained reduction of the fish population, consistent with a progressive decrease in total annual catches. Management strategies based on the maximum sustainable yield (MSY) and quota assignment/ distribution criteria have not been able to sustain acceptable biomass levels. A non-linear optimization model with two objective functions was proposed to determine an optimal total catch quota for more sustainable exploitation of this fishery. The first function maximizes the total catch over time in response to an optimal assignment of fishing mortality rates per fleet; the second function maximizes the total economic benefit associated with the total catch. The dynamics of the fish population were represented with the equations of a predictive age-structured model. Decision variables were fishing mortality rates and annual catch quotas per fleet, subject to constraints that guarantee a minimum level of biomass escape over a long-term period.
