In this study, we conducted two surveys in the central and southern parts of South China Sea, autumn 2012 spring 2013. Six juvenile tuna species were caught each survey. Gradient forest analysis (GFA) a generalized additive model (GAM) used to analyze relationship between catch per unit effort (CPUE) for six sea temperature indices Sea. GFA, difference surface 50 m depth (D50) showed highest im...

Gillnets are a widely used fishing gear in Kenya’s artisanal fisheries, yet their mesh sizes inadequately monitored or regulated. This study evaluated the impacts of gillnets seven stretched-mesh sizes, through comparative analysis species-related metrics and catch per unit effort (CPUE), to inform small-scale fisheries regulations. Data were collected from June 2014 May 2015. Three mesh-size g...

The small-scale lobster fisheries of Madagascar's impoverished southeast coast account for the majority of national catch and export, making a significant contribution to the regional economy. Data suggests catches have declined, likely due to over-exploitation. In response, the community of Sainte Luce has established a locally managed marine area (LMMA) to manage their lobster fishery, includ...

To create the new CPUE based on the fishing effort for searching skipjack fishing ground or fish school, GPS data loggers were deployed on 7 Japanese pole and line vessels(< 200 GRT) from July to September 2010. The position and speed of vessels were logged in every 1 second. Start and end time of fishing (angling) and skipjack catch (ton) of each fishing activities were recorded on the field n...

with regard to bycatch problem, this is the first study of the shrimp trawl bycatch in different depth variation in hormuzgan coastal waters. samples were collected during shrimp season in october 2011 and november 2012. the study area was divided into two regions: hormuz-keshtisoukhte (56°, 27ʹ e/27°, 07ʹ n) to (56°, 18ʹ e/27°, 06ʹ n) and keshtisoukhte-toola (56°, 18ʹ e/27°, 06ʹ n) to (55°, 58...

Fisheries statistics are known to be underestimated, since they are mainly based on information about commercial fisheries. However, various types of fishing activities exist and evaluating them is necessary for implementing effective management plans. This paper assesses the characteristics and catches of the French European sea bass recreational fishery along the Atlantic coasts, through the ...

This study examined trends along a gradient of fishing intensity in an artisanal coral reef fishery over a 10-year period along 75 km of Kenya's most populated coastline. As predicted by Malthusian scenarios, catch per unit effort (CPUE), mean trophic level, the functional diversity of fished taxa, and the diversity of gear declined, while total annual catch and catch variability increased alon...

In the Hawaii-based longline fishery, changes in fishing operations to target different species produce changes in the effectiveness of fishing effort units. Catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE) indices used in resource monitoring were improved by segregating dissimilar types of fishing effort. Cluster analysis was used to classify longline sets in relation to species composition of the catches. Based ...
