  • Static Fishing Around Fish Aggregating Devices (Fads) and Offshore Banks
    SPC Fisheries Newsletter # 42 Page 27 STATIC FISHING AROUND FISH AGGREGATING DEVICES (FADS) AMD OFFSHORE BANKS IN AMERICAN SAMOA by Michael Crook Leilani Enterprises, Inc Pago Pago, American Samoa This work was carried out as part of Pacific Fisheries Development Foundation Project No 44a. Experimental static handline fishing around FADs was first attempted in American Samoa in 1978-9 by Pat Brian who was associated with the first generation of FADs to be deployed here. No formal reports or records were made describing the gear, techniques or catch, but word-of-mouth reports indicate that this work was mildly successful. The most recent generation of FADs was deployed in late 1984 following a period of over a year where there were no buoys at all. During this period trolling had become nearly unprofitable due to rising fuel costs and the increasing scarcity of fish, often attributed to the influx of tuna superseiners to this area. Now the buoys have brought the fish but trolling can stiil be uneconomical when the fish are either not feeding on the surface or not biting on artificial lures, which is often the case in very calm weather or during mid-day hours. The purpose of this programme was to investigate the feasibility of static fishing for the pelagic species usually caught by trolling around FADs and offshore banks e.g. yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares), bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus), skipjack {Katsuwonus pelamis), wahoo (Acanthocybium solandn) and dolphin fish (Coryphaena hippurus).

  • Fishing Techniques Used Around Fish Aggregation Devices in French Polynesia

Leproux, G. Moarii, S. Yen EVAAM, B.P. 20, Papeete, Tahiti, French Polynesia 643/90 SPC/Fisheries 22/WP.14 Page 1 FISHING TECHNIQUES USED AROUND FISH AGGREGATION DEVICES IN FRENCH POLYNESIA Mooring FADs in French Polynesian waters, which began in June 1981, has had a favourable impact on local fishermen who, although they were sceptical to begin with, have come to use this assistance increasingly, many of them finding it very helpful. The techniques of fishing around FADs have changed over the years and in 1990 four are still currently in use, while new techniques are constantly being developed and taught in order to obtain better yields. 1. FISHING TECHNIQUES 1.1 Handline fishing Many small boats (3 to 6m) do deep fishing near FADs when a school of tuna is present. The handline is made of nylon line of 130 kg and a tuna hook (cf Diagram no. 1, Plate no. 1). The bait used varies with the season: thus "operu" (Decapterus macarellus), "ature" (Selar crumennhialmus), "numa" (Mulloidichihys samoensis), "marara" (Cysselurus simus), and skipjack fillet (Katsuwonus pelamis) are the most commonly used. The technique consists in placing this bait low down in the school. In order to facilitate the drop of the line, a stone is fixed to it temporarily. When the fisherman considers that he has reached the required depth, he gives the line a sharp jerk upwards which releases the stone and also some crumbs which awake the tunas' appetite.

  • 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.

As a result, the MSA contains new requirements, making it necessary for Fishery Councils to amend all of their existing Fishery Management Plans (FMP) to incorporate these requirements. The Western Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) developed amendments to its four FMPs to address these requirements, which were published in September 1998 and submitted to the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) for review and approval. NMFS only partially approved the amendments, as described in a Federal Register notification published on April 19, 1999 (64 FR 19067). Among other elements, the overfishing provisions (those required under Section 303(a)(10) and related sections of the MSA, as amended by the SFA) in Amendment 6 to the Bottomfish FMP, Amendment 8 to the Pelagics FMP, and Amendment 10 to the Crustaceans FMP were disapproved. These FMP amendments supplement those partially approved amendments by providing new specifications of overfishing criteria.

  • Fish Aggregating Devices in French Polynesia
    I' FISH AGGREGATING DEVICES IN FRENCH POLYNESIA BY JACQUES CHABANNE' The use of FADS for the development of tuna fishing in French Polynesia was contemplated in late 70's (Marcille. 1979). The first deployment of FADS was undertaken soon after by the organization in charge of projects for fishery development (Ugolin¡ and Robert, 1982). In the early stages of the FAD project, the objectives of i1 rather general nature, were more speciEically directed to developing surface tuna fishing, i.e. skipjack and yellowfin fishing. The immediate goal was to assist the ¿1rtisiiIi:11 pjack fishery which was experiencing economic difficulties. In the long ryn, the aim is to promote a more industrial type of exploitation, calling for fishing techniques having ¿i high degree of efficiency. Howcvcr, Lifter ;I few years, one is able to observe that a gap exists between the initin1 goals iIIid the actual use of FADs. Concerning surface fishing, spin-offs have remained limited (í1rtis:iniil skipjilck fishery) or non-existent (fishery development). On the other hand, the artisanal handline fishery for deep swimming tunas has proved to he the main user of FADs. The difficultics cncountcrcd in ;itraining the expected goals, particularly in fishery development, bccainc appiircnt from Itic very beginning of the project. They resulted from insufficient knowledge of (he monner in which FADS woIk and, iiiorc spccifi&illy, their efficiency in iiggrcg;\ting fish.
