In this report, the main challenges of managing orange roughy fisheries are outlined, as well as lessons learned that could be applied in the future to fisheries for this species (and others like it) which in some cases may allow for an ecologically sustainable, albeit limited, commercial fishery. The term ‘sustainable’ or ‘sustainable fishery’ in this context is defined as a fishery which meet...

The Gulf of Alaska and Bering Sea Aleutian Islands groundfish fisheries have been managed under fishery management plans since 1978 and 1981, respectively. The range of the Steller sea lion overlaps the waters where the fisheries are conducted. Under the Endangered Species Act, Steller sea lion west of Cape Suckling, Alaska, are listed as endangered; east of Cape Suckling they are listed as thr...

Sea cucumbers are important resources for coastal livelihoods and ecosystems. At least 60 species are fished from more than 40 countries and most of the harvests are processed then exported to Asian markets. Sea cucumbers generally appear to have slow rates of population turnover and are easily harvested in shallow waters in the tropics. With retail prices of up to USD300–500 per kg (dried), ex...

(continued on page 2) Introduction The unmistakable trend toward ecosystem approaches to fisheries management is documented in a wide range of official declarations, national and international guidelines, and national-level legislation. The central motivation for this movement is the view that a more holistic ecological perspective on fisheries can lead to more robust management strategies. Eco...
