Book Description
In response to a continuing high loss of commercial fishing vessels and crews, the U.S. Congress has mandated development of new safety requirements for the industry. This volume provides a blueprint for an integrated national safety program that responds realistically to industry conditions, with priority on the most cost-effective alternatives. Fishing Vessel Safety addresses the role of the U.S. Coast Guard and the fishing industry and evaluates such safety measures as vessel inspection and registration, and the training and licensing of fishermen. It explores vessel condition, the role of human behavior, the problem of weather prediction, the high cost of insurance, and more.

Book Description
Excerpt from World Fishing Fleets, Vol. 1: An Analysis of Distant-Water Fleet Operations Past, Present, Future This report provides an analysis of the trends in the world's fishing fleet Operations using information obtained and verified from a variety of sources, such as Lloyd's Register of Shipping, the Food and Agriculture Organization (fao) of the United Nations, the Office of Naval Intelligence (oni) of the United States Navy, and us. Diplomatic Missions overseas. Several recent developments have focused considerable attention on global high-seas fishing fleet activity because of their potential impact on the world's living marine resources. In particular, the over-capitalization of the world's fishing fleets (appendix 1) and subsidies to portions of that fleet, have caused the world's annual catch to reach approximately 100 million metric tons in 1989, which is generally thought to be a level which reaches or exceeds the annual maximum sustainable yield. In addition, within the last ten years, the sustained and rapid construction of technologically advanced high-seas fishing vessels capable of efficiently harvesting vast quantities of fish in short periods of time has placed stress on some stocks. The United Nations moratorium on high - seas large scale pelagic driftnet fishing has caused some of the affected vessels to target other fishery stocks using different fishing methods. The straddling stock issue presently being addressed by a variety of international organizations has provided some unique and difficult challenges. The illegal fishing within certain countries' zoo-mile Exclusive Economic Zones (bez) and the reflagging of vessels to avoid regulations designed to effectively manage and conserve fisheries resources are significant issues. These issues are rooted in the world's demand for the relatively inexpensive protein provided by these fisheries resources and the potential economic gain that can be obtained by fulfilling that demand. In preparing this report, the authors had substantial leeway in conducting the analysis for their particular region since considerable differences exist in the type of fisheries, such as coastal or high-seas, employed by the countries of these regions. To assure as much accuracy as possible, applicable portions of each regional draft analysis were provided for review and comment to us. Embassies, Department of State, other US government agencies, and foreign government and diplomatic officials. Considerable difficulty was experienced in developing the analyses for the former Soviet Union republics primarily because much of the data was either non-existent or not available for dissemination. A few similar situations were encountered with data in other parts of the world and the authors noted this problem in their analyses.

Pages : 189
Book Description
Fluctuations and declines in marine fish populations have caused growing concern among marine scientists, fisheries managers, commercial and recreational fishers, and the public. Sustaining Marine Fisheries explores the nature of marine ecosystems and the complex interacting factors that shape their productivity. The book documents the condition of marine fisheries today, highlighting species and geographic areas that are under particular stress. Challenges to achieving sustainability are discussed, and shortcomings of existing fisheries management and regulation are examined. The volume calls for fisheries management to adopt a broader ecosystem perspective that encompasses all relevant environmental and human influences. Sustaining Marine Fisheries offers new approaches to building workable fisheries management institutions, improving scientific data, and developing management tools. The book recommends ways to change current practices that encourage overexploitation of fish resources. It will be of special interest to marine policymakers and ecologists, fisheries regulators and managers, fisheries scientists and marine ecologists, fishers, and concerned individuals.

State of World Aquaculture 2006

Book Description
Aquaculture is developing, expanding and intensifying in almost all regions of the world, except in sub-Saharan Africa. Although the sector appears to be capable of meeting the gap between future demand and supply for aquatic food, there are many constraints and challenges which must be addressed in order to at least maintain the present level of per capita consumption at the global level. Key issues are the need for enhanced enforcement of regulation and better governance of the sector, as well as greater producer participation in the decision-making and regulation process. This publication examines past trends in aquaculture development as well as the current global status, drawing on a number of national and regional reviews.
Review of the techno-economic performance of the main global fishing fleets

Book Description
This review of the techno-economic performance of the main global fishing fleets discusses the outcomes from 20 country-level studies of fishing fleets from Africa, Asia, Europe, North and South America. It includes financial, socio-economic and technical information from 103 major (semi-) industrial fishing fleet segments, which are responsible for an estimated 39 percent of marine capture fisheries production worldwide. The analysis of vessel characteristics reveals substantial differences in fishing capacity (in terms of vessel length, tonnage and power) between fleet segments. An increase in the gross tonnage of average vessels was observed in fleet segments also covered in previous reviews. Substantial increases in average length overall and engine power were observed in several Asian fishing fleets. The age structure of the fishing fleets in most regions, except Asia, shows an upward trend. An analysis of the costs and earnings data showed that labour and running costs were the two main cost components for the majority of fleet segments. Ninety-two percent of 97 fleet segments reported a positive net cash flow in the year they were surveyed, in the 2016–2019 period. Net profit margins of 10 percent or more were realized by average fishing vessels in 73 percent of the fleet segments. Returns on investment (ROIs) of 10 percent or higher were realized by 61 percent of the fleet segments. The review also discusses developments in fishing technologies. These developments, along with a general increase in seafood prices, successful fisheries management in some areas, and improved fleet capacity management in Europe and North America, have all contributed to the ongoing, positive financial and economic performance of the main global fishing fleets in recent years.
