In recent decades, marine reserves have been established either to protect ecosystem structure and biological diversity or to serve as management tools to counter the overexploitation of fish stocks. The Cape Roux marine protected area (MPA), in the Mediterranean Sea, was established in December 2003 for the management of artisanal fisheries and enhancement target fish stocks. Monitoring of lit...

Abstract This paper presents the first record of Rhabdosargus sarba (Forsskål 1775) in Mediterranean Sea and Syrian marine waters. One specimen (163 mm TL, 66.45 g TW) was caught by trammel nets at a depth range between 50 60 m, from Lattakia coast, on 31 January 2021. represents sighting this immigrant species that entered to waters Red Sea. key is provided.

Kuching Bay is a significant area for artisanal fishing activities as well an Important Marine Mammal Area (IMMA) coastal cetaceans. A total of 286 fishers from eight communities were interviewed between 2011 and 2019 to determine the nature extent cetacean-fishery interactions in area. The main types gears recorded gillnets, trammel nets, trawl longlines, handlines crab traps, with use varying...

A specimen of Mullus surmuletus with 33.6 cm in total length and 398.3 g weight was captured trammel nets along other Striped red mullet fish by fisherman off the coast Benghazi, Libya (Southern Mediterranean) on November 14, 2022. It had longest heaviest ever recorded for a Southern Mediterranean Libya.

In this study, experimental fishing trials were performed to quantitatively evaluate and compare the performance of trammel nets, tie-down gillnets, single gillnets used for catching blackfin flounder. A total eight cruises at depths 100–140 m in waters near Yangyang, Gangwon-do, Korea. Fisheries laws Korea currently restrict use nets due concerns about overfishing bycatch. Tie-down have a supp...

With the global increase of marine protected area (MPA) implementation, need for monitoring and evaluation their effectiveness becomes ever more important. Currently there is a severe lack information about protection effects soft-substrate ecosystems. While many different methods have been established hard-substrate ecosystems, most these minimally invasive prove ineffective soft- bottom habit...
