Executive summary ​ ​ ​ ​ This report is essentially an updated version of the 2012 MSC pre-assessment (PA) conducted ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ on the Nachi-Katsuura Tuna Longline (Haenawa) Fishery. We used recent, publicly available ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ information on stock status, bycatch species, and management to re-describe and re-evaluate ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ potential MSC scoring ranges for the fishery. Main strengths of the fishery are that the targeted ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ North Pacific albacore stock does not yet appear overfished, and RFMO management collects ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ data and coordinates management across all of the countries that harvest the stock. One ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ weakness is the lack of well defined harvest control rules, which will help ensure reduction of ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ exploitation rate as the stock approaches limit reference points. Additionally, longline fisheries ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ may catch species with overfished or depleted stock status, such as Pacific bluefin tuna, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Western and Central Pacific bigeye tuna, and various shark species. Fishery impacts on ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ depleted stocks will need to be considered in Fishery Improvement Project (FIP) or full ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ assessment. 2. Introduction ​ ​ 2.1 Aims/scope ​ ​ This report provides an updated assessment and gap analysis of the MSC Pre-assessment of ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ the Nachi-Katsuura Tuna Longline (Haenawa) Fishery, published by SCS Global Services in ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2012. In particular, there is now improved information on the stock status of relevant tuna ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ species. This report does not attempt to duplicate a full assessment against the MSC standard. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2.2 Constraints ​ ​ We did not have a specific fishery client to consult for this analysis and relied on publicly posted ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ information to develop this assessment. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2.3 Unit(s) of Assessment ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Species: Binnaga or albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Geographical Area: ​ ​ Fishing takes place in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean.

James was an integral part of the Highly Migratory Species (HMS) program. In addition to day-to-day work, James planned and organized the research cruises for HMS at the SWFSC and was involved in tagging thresher, blue, and mako sharks in the Southern California Bight for many years. We are sad to see him go but are excited for his future opportunities and thankful for his many contributions to the program over the last 10 years.

  • Humane Harvesting Initiative: the Influence of Humane Harvesting on Fish Quality, 2 Nutritional Value and Safety
    1 Humane Harvesting Initiative: The Influence of Humane Harvesting on Fish Quality, 2 Nutritional Value and Safety 3 2012 estimates put the global production of fisheries and aquaculture at 158 mmt, with 91.3 mmt 4 of that amount credited to capture and fisheries (FAO, 2014). Recently, fish welfare has been 5 gaining interest from both consumers and the fisheries industry (producers) concerning the 6 production, processing, quality, shelf life and nutritional value (Poli et al., 2005). Technically, it 7 is difficult to define and measure the welfare of fish in fisheries. According to Spruijt et al. 8 (2001), welfare is defined as “the balance between positive and negative experiences or affective 9 states. The state of this balance may range from positive (good welfare) to negative (bad 10 welfare).” In the case of fisheries, good welfare means good production at the end of the fish’s 11 life, and is determined by the handling of two important processes: the pre-slaughter procedure 12 and the final slaughter method employed. If these two steps are conducted in bad conditions, fish 13 will experience stress which can strongly impact their quality and nutritional value. However, 14 there are instructions, rules and methods for terrestrial animal welfare and humane slaughtering, 15 even if they haven’t been effectively made available. 16 History of Animal Welfare in U.S.A. 17 The first attempts at humane slaughtering and improved animal welfare practices date back to the 18 late 1800s when several new organizations were established in the United States, many linked to 19 the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, which was founded by Mary Ellen Wilson 20 in 1873.

  • Fish Welfare in Recreational Fishing
    Chapter 19 Fish Welfare in Recreational Fishing Keno Ferter, Steven J. Cooke, Odd-Børre Humborstad, Jonatan Nilsson, and Robert Arlinghaus Abstract Recreational fishing is a popular activity around the globe, and fish welfare issues related to the activity have received increasing attention in some countries, particularly in central and northern Europe and Australia. This chapter offers an introduction to recreational fishing, reviews literature on fish welfare in relation to recreational fishing and provides an overview of potential biological impacts and ways to reduce such impacts. We first focus on the question on how to reduce impacts on the welfare of the fish during recreational fishing. Second, we describe two case studies highlighting that practical implications of the fish welfare discourse may be disjointed from the scientific information base and be rather about fundamental moral questions about the ethical acceptability of the activity per se. We end by providing an outlook on the future of recreational fishing in the light of the current fish welfare discourse. Keywords Best practice guidelines · Catch-and-release · Fish welfare · Function- based approach · Recreational fishing · Sublethal impacts Recreational fishing is a popular activity around the globe (Arlinghaus et al. 2015, 2019). Apart from the recognized biological and socio-economic importance of recreational fishing, fish welfare issues related to the activity have received increas- ing attention in some countries and in the academic literature (Huntingford et al. 2006; Arlinghaus et al. 2007a, b, 2012b; Cooke and Sneddon 2007; Volpato 2009; Arlinghaus and Schwab 2011).
