Fisheries and water productivity in tropical river basins: Enhancing food security and livelihoods by managing water for fish

Faced with growing pressure upon freshwater resources, increased water productivity in agriculture is essential. Efforts to do so however need to consider the wider role of water in sustaining food production. This paper considers the importance of water management in sustaining fish production in tropical river basins, and the potential for enhancing food production and income to farmers by integrating fish production into some farming systems. Specific examples from selected river systems and irrigated farming systems in Africa and Asia are provided. These highlight the benefits of integrating the water requirements for fish into water allocation decisions. In some cases, these benefits can be realised without any reduction in the water available for other purposes, while in others, a trade-off needs to be considered. The nature of these trade-offs needs to be better understood for better decision making in water management.     

Methodological rigour in assessing participatory development

There have been few rigorous assessments of the effectiveness of participatory processes for natural resource management. In Bangladesh an approach known as Participatory Action Plan Development (PAPD) has been developed and applied. By combining problem identification and solution analysis by separate stakeholder groups with plenary sessions it is claimed to result in consensus and more effective community based management. Methodological issues in assessing the effectiveness of such development are discussed and good practice illustrated. Under the same project there were sites where PAPD had been used and others without its use so a comparative assessment could be made. However, for an appropriate assessment it is important to identify clear testable hypotheses regarding the expected benefits, appropriate measures, and other factors which may affect or confound the outcome. The paper illustrates how participatory assessment involving both individual opinions and focus groups can be systematically recorded, quantified and used with other data in statistical analysis. By using statistical modelling methods at an appropriate level of aggregation and controlling for other factors, benefits from PAPD were found to be significant. The systematic approaches and practices recommended from this example can be applied in similar situations to test the effectiveness of participatory processes using participatory assessments.     

A new abundance estimate for Maui’s dolphin: What does it mean for managing this critically endangered species?

Hector’s dolphin Cephalorhynchus hectori is found only in New Zealand waters. We carried out a population survey of the North Island subspecies Cephalorhychus hectori maui, also known as Maui’s dolphin. The total population size estimate is 111 individuals (95% confidence interval = 48-252). The small population size confirms its critically endangered IUCN status. A sustainable level of human-caused mortality for this population would be 0.16 (one dolphin every 6.4 years). This essentially means that fisheries bycatch, and where possible other human impacts, need to be eliminated to allow population recovery. A protected area has been created to reduce the threat from entanglement in fishing gear. Gillnet fishing is prohibited along a 210 nautical mile stretch of coastline. The main concerns are that gillnet fishing is still allowed inside harbours and trawling continues inside the protected area.     

Incidental and intentional catch threatens Galápagos waved albatross

As large, long-lived seabirds with delayed and slow reproduction, albatrosses have low intrinsic mortality rates and are especially vulnerable to extinction from extrinsic sources of mortality such as fishery bycatch. Leg-band recovery information for waved albatrosses revealed mortality from both incidental catch and intentional catch for human consumption. Annual adult survival in 1999-2005, estimated from capture-mark-recapture data, was lower than historical estimates. This recent increase in adult mortality probably contributed to recent and dramatic shrinkage of the breeding population; periodic matrix models confirm that population growth rate is most sensitive to changes in adult survival. Banding data and recovery information also suggest that capture by fisheries is male-biased, which should reduce fecundity in this species with obligate bi-parental care. This new documentation of bycatch, harvesting, and associated demographic consequences provides reason for serious concern about the persistence of the single breeding population of the waved albatross.     

对中国3个渔业水域生态环境质量的综合评价

根据2002～2003年5、8月对我国沿海的莱州湾、长江口和珠江口渔业水域的水质、沉积物、浮游生物的监测结果，采用主成分分析法，综合评价这3个重要渔业水域的生态环境质量状况。研究结果显示，莱州湾水域生态环境综合质量相对较好，处于“一般”状态，但随时间变化生态环境质量正朝不良方向发展；珠江口水域生态环境综合质量次之，也处于“一般”状态；长江口水域生态环境综合质量最差，处于“差”状态，生态环境质量状况夏季劣于春季。从3个水域的水质、沉积物、浮游生物指标对总得分的贡献率来看，莱州湾水域沉积物指标的贡献率最高，其中沉积物镉是影响莱州湾生态环境质量的主要污染指标；长江口水域水质指标的贡献率最高，其中铜、油类和无机氮指标是影响长江口及邻近水域生态环境质量的主要污染指标；珠江口水域沉积物指标的贡献率最高，其中沉积物铜是影响珠江口生态环境质量的主要污染指标。     

胶州湾外南沙水域渔业资源与文昌鱼数量调查评估及其栖息环境保护

应用扫海面积法，并根据鱼类和文昌鱼栖息特点，采用了不同拖网取样方式，对胶州湾外南沙周围24km^2水域5、6月渔业资源数量与文昌鱼(Branchiostoma belcheri Gary)数量进行了调查评估。5月捕获的鱼类共28种，总资源量275479kg，其中玉筋鱼居第1位，资源量265200kg。捕获的无脊椎动物共13种，总资源量3489kg。6月文昌鱼数量约为18720000尾。同时，还指出了栖息环境面临的问题以及保护栖息环境的重要性和必要性。     

Territorial Use Rights in Fisheries to Manage Areas for Farming Coral Reef Fish and Invertebrates for the Aquarium Trade

Reef fish, corals, and other marine invertebrate species associated with coral reefs need to be managed in a sustainable manner to halt destructive fishing in the Philippines and other Southeast Asian countries. As part of the Coastal Communities Empowerment Project, the International Marinelife Alliance (IMA) plans to implement Territorial Use Rights in Fisheries (TURFs) to help manage municipal waters; while creating alternative livelihoods for small-scale fishermen and their families. Changes to the Local Government Code allow Philippine municipal councils to regulate fishing and mariculture in waters within 15km from shore. The councils can lease TURFs to local fisherfolk and prevent their use by those outside the community. The IMA plans to help create several types of TURFs. These include TURFs used by aquarium-fish collectors, for rearing giant clams, and for farming live rock and coral fragments. The TURFs are part of a larger strategy to conserve marine biodiversity, protect and restore marine habitats, and promote sustainable use of marine resources by local people. Fish and invertebrates harvested from the TURFs will be used in programs to restore marine habitats and to generate income from exports that supply the aquarium trade.

非静态种群动力学过程影响下的渔业资源评估与管理

科学有效的渔业资源评估与管理是实现渔业资源可持续开发和利用的重要保障。传统的渔业资源评估与管理基于不变性假设,认为关键种群动力学过程不随时间发生变化。随着气候变化和人类活动的影响,种群的关键动力学过程可能随时间发生系统性的变化,形成非静态种群动力学过程,并在很大程度上颠覆了传统的不变性假设。本文结合近年来国际相关领域的研究成果,系统地阐述了非静态种群动力学过程的形成机制以及其对渔业资源评估模型、生物学参考点和渔业管理理念的影响。分析认为,在非静态种群动力学过程下,渔业资源评估模型和生物学参考点都需要考虑到关键种群动力学过程的时间变化,需要通过引入外部环境变量或者随时间变化的种群动力学参数,来应对非静态种群动力学过程对资源评估与管理带来的影响。研究建议,基于弹性的渔业管理是我们未来应对非静态种群动力学过程、维持渔业社会-生态系统稳定和健康的重要发展方向。
