Poseidon FINAL 110805 A WWF COMMISSIONED REPORT PREPARED BY POSEIDON AQUATIC RESOURCE MANAGEMENT LTD REPORT AUGUST 2011 Sustainability A Blueprint for moving toward sustainable tropical © GUSTAVO YBARRA© GUSTAVO / WWF-CANON shrimp trawl fisheries - Foreword - Whilst there is widespread agreement that bottom trawling for tropical shrimp presents an urgent conservation problem, the complexity of these fisheries, both environmental and socio/economic, has often thwarted effective conservation efforts. The purpose of this WWF–commissioned report is to address this complexity by providing a set of management guidelines that, if adopted, will serve as the foundational measures from which lasting sustainability can later be achieved. The management guidelines presented here should not therefore be viewed as a definitive WWF vision of what should constitute sustainability in tropical shrimp trawl fisheries, nor should full adoption of these guidelines necessarily mean a fishery will be sustainable. For this, there are many areas that need to be fully addressed, such as issues of habitat protection, habitat restoration and strengthening protection to endangered, threatened and protected species, for example. However, it is WWF’s hope that these generic guidelines, when regionally applied, will provide an important pathway to help tropical shrimp trawl fisheries adopt better management practices that will eventually allow them to operate in a fully sustainable manner.

  • SUSTAINABLE FISHERIES and RESPONSIBLE AQUACULTURE: a Guide for USAID Staff and Partners
    SUSTAINABLE FISHERIES AND RESPONSIBLE AQUACULTURE: A Guide for USAID Staff and Partners June 2013 ABOUT THIS GUIDE GOAL This guide provides basic information on how to design programs to reform capture fisheries (also referred to as “wild” fisheries) and aquaculture sectors to ensure sound and effective development, environmental sustainability, economic profitability, and social responsibility. To achieve these objectives, this document focuses on ways to reduce the threats to biodiversity and ecosystem productivity through improved governance and more integrated planning and management practices. In the face of food insecurity, global climate change, and increasing population pressures, it is imperative that development programs help to maintain ecosystem resilience and the multiple goods and services that ecosystems provide. Conserving biodiversity and ecosystem functions are central to maintaining ecosystem integrity, health, and productivity. The intent of the guide is not to suggest that fisheries and aquaculture are interchangeable: these sectors are unique although linked. The world cannot afford to neglect global fisheries and expect aquaculture to fill that void. Global food security will not be achievable without reversing the decline of fisheries, restoring fisheries productivity, and moving towards more environmentally friendly and responsible aquaculture. There is a need for reform in both fisheries and aquaculture to reduce their environmental and social impacts. USAID’s experience has shown that well-designed programs can reform capture fisheries management, reducing threats to biodiversity while leading to increased productivity, incomes, and livelihoods. Agency programs have focused on an ecosystem-based approach to management in conjunction with improved governance, secure tenure and access to resources, and the application of modern management practices.

Vessel types: Pair trawlers In the wet-fish trawler the fish is kept in the hold in the fresh/"wet" condition. Characteristics Midwater pair trawling Species Environment Midwater pair trawling can be effective in different situations: when fish are aggregated into large dense shoals and when (at another season or time of the day or according to physiological status) fishes are regularly distributed within a given water layer. In addition to the difference it makes whether the FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Department fish are aggregated in a small volume or spread within a large one, fish may swim (and avoid the net) at different speeds according to its own physiological status and/or other external conditions. As a result, in addition to the fish which is targeted, other different conditions will affect the design and size of the midwater trawl, as well as the towing speed. Fishing Gear A midwater pair trawl has roughly similar design as other midwater trawls. Midwater pair trawls might, however, be designed to have a more rectangular opening than ordinary midwater otter trawls. Midwater pair trawls might be rigged with two towing warps from each vessel or alternatively with one towing warp from each vessel and a bridle arrangement.

Box 140, 4401 NT Yerseke, The Netherlands 3Wageningen Marine Research, Wageningen University & Research, IJmuiden, The Netherlands Correspondence to : Emil De Borger ([email protected]) Abstract 10 Bottom trawling in shelf seas can occur more than 10 times per year for a given location. This affects the benthic metabolism, through a mortality of the macrofauna, resuspension of organic matter from the sediment, and alterations of the physical sediment structure. However, the trawling impacts on organic carbon mineralization and associated processes are not well known. Using a modelling approach, the effects of increasing trawling frequencies on early diagenesis were studied in five different sedimentary environments, simulating the effects of a deep penetrating gear (e.g. a tickler chain beam trawl) and a 15 shallower, more variable penetrating gear (e.g. an electric pulse trawl). Trawling events strongly increased oxygen and nitrate concentrations in surface sediment layers, and led to significantly lower amounts of ammonium (43 – 99 % reduction) and organic carbon in the top 10 cm of the sediment (62 – 96 % reduction). As a result, total mineralization rates in the sediment were decreased by up to 28 %.

  • Miracles in Greco-Roman Antiquity: a Sourcebook/Wendy Cotter
    MIRACLES IN GRECO-ROMAN ANTIQUITY Miracles in Greco-Roman Antiquity is a sourcebook which presents a concise selection of key miracle stories from the Greco- Roman world, together with contextualizing texts from ancient authors as well as footnotes and commentary by the author herself. The sourcebook is organized into four parts that deal with the main miracle story types and magic: Gods and Heroes who Heal and Raise the Dead, Exorcists and Exorcisms, Gods and Heroes who Control Nature, and Magic and Miracle. Two appendixes add richness to the contextualization of the collection: Diseases and Doctors features ancient authors’ medical diagnoses, prognoses and treatments for the most common diseases cured in healing miracles; Jesus, Torah and Miracles selects pertinent texts from the Old Testament and Mishnah necessary for the understanding of certain Jesus miracles. This collection of texts not only provides evidence of the types of miracle stories most popular in the Greco-Roman world, but even more importantly assists in their interpretation. The contextualizing texts enable the student to reconstruct a set of meanings available to the ordinary Greco-Roman, and to study and compare the forms of miracle narrative across the whole spectrum of antique culture.

    Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Fisheries and for a world without hunger Aquaculture Department Fishing Techniques Shrimp Otter Trawling Main Components Aquatic species Target Species Shrimps Gear types: Single boat bottom otter trawls Single boat bottom otter trawls A single boat bottom otter trawl is a cone-shaped net consisting of a body, normally made from two, four and sometimes more panels, closed by one or two codends and with lateral wings extending forward from the opening. A bottom trawl is kept open horizontally by two otter boards. A boat can be rigged to tow a single or two parallel trawls from the stern or from two outriggers. Vessel types: Otter trawlers These are trawlers on which the fish is preserved by freezing. Characteristics Shrimp otter trawling Species Environment Shrimps constitute one of the most valuable groups of marine species resources. Approximately 2 million tonnes are captured annually in world's fisheries. Targets in shrimp otter trawling encompasses a wide range of species in both tropical and temperate waters. Fishing Gear Trawls used in otter shrimp trawling encompass a range of designs and sizes. Shrimp trawls are typical made in relatively small meshes, with 20-60 mm in the codend. The mesh size in the belly part of the trawls seldom exceed 80 mm. Some larger shrimp trawls may have larger meshes in the wings, up till 100-200 mm. Vertical opening of shrimp trawls may range from less than 1 till 15-20 meters. Characteristic for otter shrimp trawling is that one or two trawls are towed from the stern of a vessel.

  • Midwater Trawls and Their Operation
    Midwater Trawls and their Operation V. Vijayan Central Institute of Fisheries Technology P.O. Matsyapuri, Cochin-682 029 India, according to FAO of UN (1998) is overall third and fifth in marine fish production among the world’s top ten producers of fish. Working group for revalidating potential fishery resources in the Indian EEZ constituted by the Dept. of Animal Husbandry, Min. of Agriculture, Govt. of India in its report released in Oct. 2000 came out with details which call for strict monitoring of resources especially region-wise and species-wise to enable rendering advice on management measures to be adopted and that the time has come to stop open access and evolve regulatory mechanisms for judicious utilization of resources’. The total potential yield of the marine fishery resources of Indian EEZ was revalidated to 39,34,417 tonnes consisting of • 20,17,072 tonnes of demersal resources; • 16,73,545 tonnes of pelagic resources; and • 2,43,800 tonnes of oceanic resources. One of the disturbing trend observed was the substantial reduction of some important conventional resources totaling 6.26 lakh tonnes. Elasmobranchs : 97,000 t Cat fish : 72,000 t Clupeids : 1,31,000 t Ribbonfish : 1,17,000 t Carangids : 2,09,000 t Overfishing has been identified as the reason for this reduction in quantity of resources and effective control of fishing capacity ad fleet control are absolutely essential as preventive measures. Gear restrictions have an important role to play in making optimal use of a stock or a resource. Effective use of pelagic or semipelagic trawl, which are target specific, can prevent irresponsible exploitation and subsequent reduction of fish stocks to biologically and ecologically harmful levels.
