The main objectives assigned to ecosystemic indices are to fuel the debate on the best ways to reduce the impact of global warming. Fishing activities are also concerned with the debate. The assessments carried out about fish products show that the use of fuel in the fishing stage has the...
If the study of the fisheries dynamics increasingly seeks to take into
account the evolution of fishing fleets, the main mechanisms which govern
their evolution at the local, national or international levels, are often not
studied at all, or only partially studied. This applies in particular to vessel
entry and...
Mediterranean fisheries are characterized by a high diversity of fishing
strategies that can be differentiated according to a gradient from the coast
to the offshore area. Over the gradient, fleets interact through the resource.
The paper first provides a description of the fishing strategies and proposes
a typology for the...
Assessing distribution of the expected bio-economic impacts of
management measures between fleet segments is a main issue for decision
making in fisheries management. This requires as a first step a good
description of the system and of the interactions between fleets through
stocks. Making this assessment operational also needs flexible...
