Social, economic and cultural perspectives of European inland fisheries: review of the EIFAC symposium on fisheries and society

The contributions presented at the EIFAC Symposium on Fisheries and Society in 2000 are reviewed. There have been considerable advances in many sectors of inland fisheries over the past decade. Nowadays the value of inland fisheries to society is generally better understood and increasingly recognized. However, it was recognized that the allocation of fishery resources and their management could still be made more effective through more extensive application of the recent approaches and techniques discussed during the Symposium and reviewed in the paper.     

Inland commercial fisheries management in France

The French fisheries management regime is based on public and private ownership of fishing waters associated with a complex multilevel management system. A total of 730 operational commercial inland fisheries were examined by analysis of thematic interviews and questionnaires. Commercial fishermen are beginning to understand the nature of their own activity and its relationship to the concept of sustainable management. Nevertheless, fishermen have to face two major problems: first, they are poorly represented on decision making bodies where anglers are dominant, and secondly their activities are governed by two separate ministries. Opportunities for future development may lie in decision making at the catchment level.     

我国近海渔业资源可持续产出基础研究的热点问题

近海是众多渔业生物的产卵场、育幼场和索饵场,也是优良渔场,支撑着我国海洋渔业资源的世代发生量和“海上粮仓”的可持续产出。近海渔业贡献了80%~90%海洋捕捞产量,在保障水产品供给、增加渔民收入、促进沿海地区海洋经济发展等方面发挥了重要作用。新中国成立以来,以近海渔业资源为切入点,我国科研人员围绕“海洋渔业资源开发与可持续利用”的关键科技问题,系统开展了一系列渔业资源调查与评估、基础与应用基础研究、技术研发工作,取得了多项创新性成果,支撑了我国海洋渔业资源合理利用、科学养护与管理。渔业资源研究重点与渔业资源开发利用程度和渔业发展休戚相关,本文结合不同时期国家渔业发展战略,系统回顾了1950年代以来我国近海渔业资源研究4个发展阶段 (起步—发展阶段、快速发展阶段、综合研究阶段和新发展阶段)的特点、研究重点、调查装备及平台建设情况等;梳理了我国在近海渔业资源数量变动与渔场探查、渔业资源高效开发利用、渔业资源调查评估技术研发、科学规范的水生生物资源养护体系形成和海洋生态系统动力学等研究进展和代表性成果,及其对我国近海渔业发展、管理与资源养护政策调整的支撑作用;明确了未来渔业资源研究要注重多学科研究和综合性调查,深入解析渔业生态系统结构与功能的机制和机理,结合经济、社会等因素研发新的渔业资源利用与管理模式,实现“开发中保护,保护中开发”,支撑资源养护型近海捕捞业实施和渔业高质量发展。

     

基于灰色预测模型的我国海洋渔业发展趋势分析

综合应用船舶、机械、信息、新材料等技术,从海洋中捕捞经济渔获物并综合利用,是现代海洋捕捞业的主要特征。海洋捕捞技术的发展和创新,对保障我国食物安全、保护近海生态与资源、实现渔民增收和新渔村建设、推动渔业产业结构调整和转型、维护我国海洋权益等方面具有非常重要的作用。本文通过简析海洋捕捞渔场探测、渔具渔法与高效自动化辅渔助渔技术等方面的研究进展,提出海洋捕捞技术的重点发展方向,以期为我国海洋捕捞实现节能高效、生态友好和资源可持续利用,海洋捕捞技术升级和产业高质量发展提供参考。

     

公海金枪鱼渔业管理趋势研究

区域性渔业管理组织 (RFMO)是当前国际公海渔业管理的主要机制,也是公海渔业管理研究的重点之一。西方远洋渔业发展起步早,国外学者较早开始关注RFMO,开展了大量的RFMO理论和实践研究。本文采用文献计量分析梳理了RFMO国外研究,并以知识图谱方式呈现国外研究进展与热点。定量分析结果显示,RFMO国外研究数量总体呈上升趋势;研究领域涉及渔业、环境和国际关系等自然和社会科学;美国、英国和澳大利亚等对研究的关注度较高。此外,关键词分析结果表明,国外学者比较关注RFMO视角下的渔业管理、南大洋等重要海域、气候变化、生态系统、海洋保护区、海洋法等问题,研究重点呈现出从生物资源生物学逐步转向公海生物资源管理和海洋生态系统保护等的趋势。在此基础上,本文进一步定性分析了RFMO国外研究,发现RFMO国外研究更敢于以创新性研究视角探索传统的RFMO研究话题,研究方法更趋科学性,注重研究的辩证性、整体性、比较性和连续性,研究意识也比较超前,善于发现RFMO研究的新领域。本文通过定量和定性分析RFMO研究文献,探究RFMO国外研究进展,为国内学者切实提升RFMO研究的深度和广度提供参考和思路。

     

完善海洋伏季休渔制度的探讨——基于东海与浙江省的实践

海洋伏季休渔制度是目前我国最重要的海洋渔业资源保护管理制度,已经成为我国养护海洋生物资源、建设海洋生态文明、促进海洋渔业可持续发展的重要举措。通过对东海与浙江省伏季休渔制度历次完善情况进行梳理和比较,探讨完善伏季休渔制度。结果表明,东海伏季休渔制度调整的特点是延长休渔时间、增加休渔作业类型及细化休渔海域,浙江省的特点是规定了"定置作业"和"帆式张网作业"伏季休渔时间、保护区休禁渔、针对特定生物资源的休禁渔及捕捞辅助船纳入休禁渔范围;与东海伏季休渔制度内容相比,浙江省在保护区休渔、保护特定生物资源休渔和捕捞辅助船实施休禁渔管理等方面具有突出特点,并为从建设海洋生物保护区、延长休禁渔时间、管理捕捞辅助船等方面完善伏季休渔制度提供了有益的启示。在常规性伏季休渔期基础上,提出设立终年渔业禁捕区、特殊鱼类资源休禁渔期、临时性休禁渔期等多元化海洋休禁渔制度的建议。     

A stochastic surplus production model in continuous time

Surplus production modelling has a long history as a method for managing data‐limited fish stocks. Recent advancements have cast surplus production models as state‐space models that separate random variability of stock dynamics from error in observed indices of biomass. We present a stochastic surplus production model in continuous time (SPiCT), which in addition to stock dynamics also models the dynamics of the fisheries. This enables error in the catch process to be reflected in the uncertainty of estimated model parameters and management quantities. Benefits of the continuous‐time state‐space model formulation include the ability to provide estimates of exploitable biomass and fishing mortality at any point in time from data sampled at arbitrary and possibly irregular intervals. We show in a simulation that the ability to analyse subannual data can increase the effective sample size and improve estimation of reference points relative to discrete‐time analysis of aggregated annual data. Finally, subannual data from five North Sea stocks are analysed with particular focus on using residual analysis to diagnose model insufficiencies and identify necessary model extensions such as robust estimation and incorporation of seasonality. We argue that including all known sources of uncertainty, propagation of that uncertainty to reference points and checking of model assumptions using residuals are critical prerequisites to rigorous fish stock management based on surplus production models.     

渔业管理中生物学参考点的理论及其应用

生物学参考点常被表示为与渔业管理相关联的捕捞死亡率和生物量,是单从生物学角度来衡量渔业资源及其开发状况的指标。通常可分为目标参考点、限制参考点和阈值参考点。目标参考点是为了持续获得某一目标渔获量所需的最小生物量和相应捕捞死亡率,包括目标生物量(Bmsy)、目标产卵亲体量(Smsy、SSB35%、SSB40%)、目标捕捞死亡率(Fmsy、Fmax、F0.1、Fmed、F40%、F40%)等参数。限制参考点用于保证捕捞死亡率不会高到危害鱼类种群的可持续利用和其生物量不会低到危害其生存,主要包括Fmsy、Fmax、F0.1、Fcrash、F20%、Bloss等参数。阈值参考点介于目标参考点和限制参考点之间,包括预防性捕捞死亡率Fpa、预防性生物量Bpa,主要对渔业资源的开发和管理进行预警,防止生物量小于BL。生物学参考点主要应用动态综合模型、产量模型和亲体量补充量关系模型来估算,估算过程中需要考虑到补充、生长、死亡等生命史过程中的不确定性。本文对生物学参考点的发展和应用进行了综述,并以金枪鱼渔业为例阐述它在渔业管理上的应用。近几十年来,我国近海渔业资源出现衰退,亟需利用生物学参考点的原理和方法对重要渔业资源种类进行...     

中亚五国内陆渔业产业衰退析因及其重振策略探讨

中亚包括哈萨克斯坦、吉尔吉斯斯坦、塔吉克斯坦、土库曼斯坦、乌兹别克斯坦五国,是"丝绸之路经济带"的核心区域,内陆渔业资源禀赋雄厚,世界第一大湖里海以及第四大湖咸海均分布在域内。在前苏联时期中亚各国捕捞渔业和水产养殖发展态势良好,随着东欧巨变及前苏联政局陷入动荡直至解体,渔业生产急剧萎缩,至今虽有复苏但尚未能恢复到苏联时期的发展水平。本文主要基于我们前期研究基础以及FAO和世界银行等统计数据,提出对苏联解体后中亚各国渔业崩溃的原因解读,并探讨在"一带一路"框架下,中国和中亚各国可行的渔业合作方式以及重振中亚渔业的策略方法。     

Optimising codend configuration in a multispecies demersal trawl fishery

Abstract The relative efficiencies and selectivities of conventional and modified codends were examined in a demersal trawl fishery targeting several species, including eastern king prawns, Penaeus plebejus (Hess), whiting, Sillago spp. and cephalopods. The modifications to codends included: (i) reducing the circumference; (ii) increasing the mesh size in conventional diamond‐mesh designs; and (iii) orientating meshes on the bar so that they were square shaped. The codends were tested against a fine‐meshed control in paired comparisons onboard three commercial trawlers. The conventional codend comprised 41‐mm diamond‐shaped mesh attached to an anterior extension section at a ratio of 150 to 100 meshes and was demonstrated to be non‐selective for the targeted species. Reducing codend circumference to 100 meshes and increasing the size of mesh to 45 mm both improved selection for eastern king prawns, but the lateral mesh openings were estimated to be insufficient to allow juveniles of the other key species to escape. By contrast, codends made from 35‐ and 41‐mm mesh hung on the bar improved the size selection for eastern king prawns and selected stout whiting, Sillago robusta (Stead) (the smallest commercial‐sized fish) across narrow selection ranges and at 50% sizes of retention (L₅₀s) that were closely correlated to the transverse morphology of fish and the maximum mesh opening. With the exception of a reduction in catches of octopus, Octopus spp., by the 41‐square codend, there were no other impacts on commercial catches by the square‐mesh designs. It was concluded that diamond‐mesh codends are inappropriate for use throughout this multispecies fishery and that a modified design comprising at least 35‐mm mesh hung on the bar is required to minimise the fishing mortality of unwanted sizes of the key target species. The results are discussed in terms of the utility of these types of modifications for closely regulating selection in penaeid‐shrimp trawls.
