  • Tuna Fishing and a Review of Payaos in the Philippines
    Session 1 - Regional syntheses Tuna fishing and a review of payaos in the Philippines Jonathan O. Dickson*1', Augusto C. Nativiclacl(2) (1) Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, 860 Arcadia Bldg., Quezon Avenue, Quezon City 3008, Philippines - [email protected] (2) Frabelle Fishing Company, 1051 North Bay Blvd., Navotas, Metro Manila, Philippines Abstract Payao is a traditional concept, which has been successfully commercialized to increase the landings of several species valuable to the country's export and local industries. It has become one of the most important developments in pelagic fishing that significantly contributed to increased tuna production and expansion of purse seine and other fishing gears. The introduction of the payao in tuna fishing in 1975 triggered the rapid development of the tuna and small pelagic fishery. With limited management schemes and strategies, however, unstable tuna and tuna-like species production was experienced in the 1980s and 1990s. In this paper, the evolution and development of the payao with emphasis on the technological aspect are reviewed. The present practices and techniques of payao in various parts of the country, including its structure, ownership, distribution, and fishing operations are discussed. Monitoring results of purse seine/ringnet operations including handline using payao in Celebes Sea and Western Luzon are presented to compare fishing styles and techniques, payao designs and species caught. The fishing gears in various regions of the country for harvesting payao are enumerated and discussed. The inshore and offshore payaos in terms of sea depth, location, designs, fishing methods and catch composi- tion are also compared. Fishing companies and fisherfolk associations involved in payao operation are presented to determine extent of uti- lization and involvement in the municipal and commercial sectors of the fishing industry.

    INDONESIA'S EXPERIENCE OF FISH AGGREGATING DEVICES (FADS) BY HARDJONO' 1. INTRODUCTION As an archipelagic state, Indonesia is endowed with a vast area of marine waters amounting to 5.8 million km, comprising 2.8 million km of internal waters, 0.3 million km of territorial waters, and 2.7 million km of Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). Large areas of marine waters in Indonesia offer good resource potential typical of the tropics and marine fisheries play an important role in the Indonesia fisheries. Among the multispecies tropical resources available in Indonesia waters those of great value are skipjack, tuna, promfret, Spanish mackerel, snapper, grouper and some carangids. Among shellfish, shrimp (Penaeus sp.) and spiny lobster are the most expensive. Recent estimates of the fisheries potentials of the country indicate a.potentia1 reaching 6.6 million mt, comprising of 4.5 million mt ib archipelagic and territorial waters and 2.1 million mt in the EEZ. The development of marine fish production in Indonesia during the the years 1980-1987 shows an average increase of 6.22% a year. At present marine fisheries contribute 76% of the total fisheries production which by 1987 reached 2.017 million mt. As a result of diverse characteristics of the Indonesian archipelago, the country's marine fisheries are complex and varied, and are dominated by traditional fishing activities operating a large number of very small vessels. Various kinds of fishing gear are employed which are dominated by gill nets comprising nearly one third of all fishing units operated. When the amount of fish landed by different types of fishing gear is considered, payang: and purse seine contribute the largest part of fish landed amounting to about 26% of total annual fish landings.

Recreational Fisheries: Socioeconomic Importance, Conservation Issues and Management Challenges Robert Arlinghaus1 and Steven J. Cooke2 1Department of Biology and Ecology of Fishes, Leibniz-Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries, Berlin, Germany & Inland Fisheries Management Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture and Horticulture, Humboldt-University at Berlin, Germany 2Institute of Environmental Science and Department of Biology, Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada http://www.fecpl.ca/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Arlinghaus_Cooke_2009.pdf Excerpts from the study: “For many years it was assumed that recreational fishing was a benign phenomenon. This assumption is beginning to be challenged with increasing research conducted on the topic.” “Fundamental to the function of management regulations for fish and wildlife is the need for high levels of compliance. Unfortunately, fishing suffers from less than perfect compliance (Muth & Bowe, 1998; Sullivan, 2002), at times making management strategies falter or fail (Sullivan, 2002).” “Excessive exploitation of animal populations though elevated anthropogenic mortality represents one of the most prominent conservation issues shared by hunting and fishing (Mace & Reynolds, 2001).” “Recent syntheses have revealed that recreational fishing can lead to environmental pollution and disturbance in a number of ways: • “In addition, angling can disturb wildlife (especially birds) if access to waters or shoreline is uncontrolled (Cryer et al., 1987). Trampling of vegetation can cause alterations of habitat and negatively impact on invertebrates (Mueller et al., 2003).” • “Fishing activities generate litter, leading to localised habitat alteration.

Factors to be considered in the design and construction of an effective FAD system are discussed in detail, and specifications and component cost estimates are provided for a suggested "optimum" design. The author suggests economic, bathymetric and other physical factors to be considered before deploying FADs, and describes a recommended procedure for anchoring them at sea. He briefly comments on fishing methods which are used in conjunction with FADs, and suggests further areas for research - particularly in the design and use of sub-surface appendages which appear to be a key element in attracting fish. 885/82 ?Is DP ,'?AS/7 3/025 Workinp Paper June 1932 FAT FISH AGGREGATING DEVICES or PAYAOS Notes on constructions, together with some criteria for placement and examples of utilization prepared oy M. de San FAC Associate Expert Project RAS/73/025 Regional Fisheries Coordinator (South Pacific) FOOD AND AGRICULTURE OPGANIZATION OF THE UNITED NATIONS Rome, 1982 - iii - CONTENTS Page I.
