Longline Fishing Iced yellowfin tuna from a longliner in Barnegat Light, NJ (N.Stolpe photo) This article is part of the NFI Information Series published by the National Fisheries Institute and Blue Water Fishermen's Association1525 Wilson Blvd, Suite 500, Arlington, VA 22209. Blue Water Fishing For centuries philosophers and naturalists have speculated on the mysteries of tuna, while poets sang its praises as a food. Aristotle recorded the age and growth patterns of tuna in his treatise History on Animals and Pliny the Elder prescribed various parts of the tuna as cures for human ailments. Even the tail, the only part of the fish not consumed by the ancients, was valued nailed over doorways toward off evil spirits. Despite tuna's long-standing popularity in Japan and throughout the Mediterranean region, not until the 1970s did fresh tuna become a desirable food item and significant fishery in the United States. Although widely accepted in canned form for decades, only in recent years have fresh or frozen tuna steaks caught on for their taste and nutritive benefits. Of course, the big tunas (bluefin, yellowfin, bigeye and albacore) are not the only fish to have experienced an upsurge in popularity due primarily to growing accep-tance of grilling as a preferred cooking technique. Other "big fish" like swordfish, shark and mahi-mahi are increasingly in demand for the same reasons.

48. Icelandic Salmon, Trout And Charr Catch The information is sent back to the fisheries associations with new logbooks before the next fishing season. Catch statistics from Icelandic rivers have http://www.veidimal.is/english/salmtrocatch.htm

Icelandic Salmon, Trout and Charr Catch There are five fish species in freshwater in Iceland. These are the salmonid species, Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ), brown trout ( Salmo trutta ) and Arctic char ( Salvelinus alpinus ). There are both sea-run and stationary populations of trout and char. The other two species are, European eel ( Anquilla anquilla ) and three-spined stickleback ( Gasterosteus aculeatus ). Of these species salmon is of the greatest economic importance. The salmon fishing season in Icelandic rivers is 3 1/2 months during the period from 20 th of May to 30 th of September. The daily fishing period is 12 hours, between dawn and sunset, and fishing is always closed between 3 am to 7 am. In most Icelandic rivers rod and line is the only allowed fishing gear. There is a fixed number of rods used in each river as decided by the Directorate of Freshwater Fisheries. As a rule of thumb 1fish/day/rod is used for deciding the number of rods allowed. In some rivers there are further restrictions on the bait allowed. There is a general ban on marine salmon fishing in Icelandic waters and net fishery only takes place in the larger glacial rivers. The fishing rights go with the ownership of the land adjacent to the rivers. The landowners are usually farmers. All the owners of the fishing rights in a river system form a fishery asscociation, which manages the exploitation of the fish stocks, within the frame set by the law. Usually the association rents or leases the fishing rights to angling clubs or directly to anglers. By this the average value of each fish is at least ten times higher than the price on a fish market.

The role of the Institute of Freshwater Fisheries The Institute of Freshwater Fisheries (Veidimalastofnun) was established in 1946. First it was part of the Directorate of Freshwater Fisheries, but in 1997 the Institute was segregated from the Directorate. The institute is now run as independent organisation doing research and management in freshwater fisheries. The principal tasks of the Institute are: To conduct research on the biota of freshwater both in rivers and lakes. To conduct research on freshwater fish stocks (Atlantic salmon, brown trout, arctic char, eel, three-spined stickleback). To supervise and advise river and lake fisheries associations concerning fisheries management and enhancement of fisheries. To be consultative concerning projects or structures affecting rivers and lakes. To manage and build data bank on rivers and lakes, their biota and fisheries. The role of the Institute is further defined in law, in the salmon and trout fisheries act Nr. 76/1970.

The SFLP Approach The SLA: Analytical Framework The sustainable livelihoods framework is a diagnostic tool that provides understanding of the systems and strategies of livelihoods developed by communities and their interaction with policies and institutions. The analytical framework is applied to a specific context which evolves over time. This implies the need to change and to constantly add elements to reflect social, political and economic realities. Vulnerability Context The vulnerability context is the group of factors operating in the external environment in which people exist which may affect their susceptibility to poverty. There are three key areas which broadly summarise the factors contributing to the vulnerability context. These are trends shocks and seasonality Trends are for example r ising environmental degradation (pollution, habitat destruction, coastal erosion, mangrove destruction) declining stocks, increasing population dependent on aquatic resources, rising inflation and interest rates, etc. Shocks refer to conflicts between resource users, economic shocks

51. THE ORGANISATIONAL Skills Of Fish Workers AT Cotonou Port GETS A BOOST On this day, as many as 25 fish workers from about six different fisheries associations were gathered together at very short notice for a meeting. http://www.sflp.org/eng/pc1_benin.htm

THE ORGANISATIONAL skills of fish workers AT Cotonou Port GETS A BOOST " Before, we were all working in small isolated groups with hardly any communication between us; none of us could ever have imagined all the advantages that exist in joining hands to work together " Speaker Etienne Dossou , Cotonou Port Management Committee Chairman Location Cotonou Port Date January 2002 These were the observations of the spokesman of the Cotonou Port fisheries community on 29 th January 2002. On this day, as many as 25 fish workers from about six different fisheries associations were gathered together at very short notice for a meeting. Men and women, old and young, fishermen, boat owners, fishmongers and processors all sat together and expressed themselves freely. "Nobody seemed to care about the flagrant incursion of industrial trawlers into our zone; to make matters worse, they often destroyed our fishing nets, but what could we do?" Furthermore, the fisherfolk had become disenchanted with the sporadic and inconsistent support provided in the past by development agencies, most of which never amounted to anything. "They say they've come to help us, hang around us for a while, then disappear "

HOME SEAFOOD SUPPLIERS COMMITMENT ... US From the Sea and Farms to Market In Shetland, a community which depends upon fishing for its long-term economic future, the effective management of its fisheries has always been crucial. And, to this end, fishermen, fisheries associations and the North Atlantic Fisheries College in Scalloway have come together to implement a range of sustainable and environmentally conscious practices to conserve fish stocks. This includes exploring sustainable fishing and fish farming techniques and providing advice to fishermen, careful management of the ecology, attention to quality control and ongoing training, research and development. The modern, local fishing fleet consists of vessels owned and operated by their crew, and this arrangement ultimately means that fishermen take the utmost pride in the quality of their catch. At Shetland's main ports of Lerwick and Scalloway the clean, modern, temperature-controlled fish markets are reckoned to be the best in the UK. And being so close to the fishing grounds ensures that fish are landed there at the peak of their freshness. The development of an electronic auction system for white fish in Lerwick has involved the introduction of a weighing at sea system, while also supplying buyers with advance information on landings. Specific species are re-graded and re-weighed on both markets. Definite improvements have been seen in the quality of fish on the market and these standards have been achieved as a direct result of Shetland Seafood Quality Control's evaluation of the fish being landed and the response by the boats to its regular reports. And there is potential to introduce other species such as shellfish, pelagic fish, and aquaculture products to the auction.

September, 2005 Edition What's Happening at the FCC Bill C- 50 Animal Cruelty The government is in the final phase of passing legislation to revise the animal cruelty provisions of Canada’s Criminal Code. The stated intent is to increase the penalties for animal cruelty offences and to simplify and modernize the offence structure of the animal cruelty regime. Legal advice from the legal firm, Lang Michener, advises that fishing enterprises could be subject to private criminal charges under the legislation pursued by organizations such as IFAW, the Animal Alliance of Canada, etc. The Fisheries Council of Canada has requested Justice Minister Cotler to amend the proposed Bill in order to provide an explicit exemption for the killing of animals in the course of conducting a commercial, licensed fishery. The FCC is joining with other groups to get an exemption for traditional animal use industries and recreational hunting and fishing. We note that in many jurisdictions that have animal cruelty legislation such exemptions are provided The Animal Alliance of Canada has implied using the proposed legislation to pursue charges against seal and gill net harvesting enterprises. Endangered Species FCC submitted comments to Environment Canada regarding proposed policies on incidental harm permits and recovery initiatives. The proposed policies were generally acceptable but needed improved precision regarding “risk” of extinction and the definition for a species that has recovered.

Index of News Stories New Zealand shows the world the way to efficient fisheries management Realigning incentives Building on success Recreational fishing Quota allocation ... Pattern for the future New Zealand is showing the world the way to efficient fisheries management. It has broken away from the tradition of control by regulation, and adopted a new approach based on property rights and economic incentives. The new system gives the fishermen a right to take a defined quota, or share of the total allowable catch. This quota is the holder's legal property in the full sense of the word, being both transferable and divisible. It is interesting to note that the consistent refusal of administrators to admit that a fishing licence confers property rights on the holder is a major stumbling block to the reform of a cumbersome, inefficient and increasingly costly management system in Australia.

55. FAO Releases Draft Action Plan On Seabirds And Longlines Key longline fisheries in which incidental catches of seabirds are known fisheries associations, gear technologists, members of the public and others. http://www.seaweb.org/resources/19update/fao.html

July 1998 FAO releases draft action plan on seabirds and longlines The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has released a draft Plan of Action for Reducing Incidental Catch of Seabirds in Longline Fisheries Longlining is a fishing method used worldwide, in small-scale artisanal fisheries as well as modern mechanized operations. It consists of lines of baited hooks which can be set on the seabed (demersal longlining), floated off the bottom at variable depths (semi-pelagic longlining) or suspended from lines floating freely at the surface (pelagic longlining). Around the world, several longline fisheries are responsible for the incidental deaths of tens of thousands of seabirds every year, which dive on the bait and become ensnared in the hooks. Key longline fisheries in which incidental catches of seabirds are known to occur include: tuna, swordfish and billfish in all oceans; Patagonian toothfish in the Southern Ocean; and halibut, black cod, Pacific cod, Greenland halibut, cod, haddock, tusk and ling in the northern Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. The species of seabirds most frequently taken are albatrosses and petrels in the Southern Ocean; northern fulmars in the North Atlantic; and albatrosses, gulls and fulmars in the North Pacific. The FAO Plan of Action is a development of the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries, which provides that States should "take appropriate measures to minimize waste, discards, catch by lost or abandoned gear, catch of non-target species · and negative impact on associated or dependent species, in particular endangered species."

Thompson Bill Targets Klamath River Water Crisis! by Dan Bacher Dissident Voice November 2, 2002 I n an ambitious attempt to resolve the water crisis in the Klamath Basin that resulted in the needless deaths of 40,000 to 50,000 salmon and other fish in September, North Coast Congressman Mike Thompson has introduced a bill, H.R.5698, that needs the strong support of everybody concerned about fisheries and the environment in California! The Klamath River Basin Restoration and Emergency Assistance Act of 2002 allocates $200 million to landowners and tribes throughout the Klamath Basin who participate in water conservation projects and $20 million in emergency financial assistance to communities affected by the 2002 fish kill. Thompson’s bill merges the upper and lower Klamath Basin working groups into one to ensure that North Coast communities are at the table when decisions are made. It also increases the water flows to levels recommended by the California Department of Fish and Game as necessary to protect the salmon, steelhead and other fisheries and requires the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation to prepare quarterly reports to Congress on the progress of conservation projects in the Klamath Basin. “It is time we work together to find workable solutions that take all affected communities into consideration,”

Department Of Interior Launches Investigation Into Klamath Basin Decisions What has Kerry ever done for people and fish in the Klamath Basin? including the Pacific Coast Federation of fisheries associations, filed a request http://www.dissidentvoice.org/Articles8/Bacher_DOI-Klamath-Investigation.htm

HOME DV NEWS SERVICE ARCHIVE SUBMISSIONS/CONTACT ... ABOUT DV Department of Interior Launches Investigation Into Klamath Basin Decisions by Dan Bacher Dissident Voice September 11, 2003 I n response to a request from Senator John Kerry, the U.S. Department of Interior’s Inspector General has launched an investigation into whether the Bush administration exerted political influence to provide more Klamath River Basin water for farmers at the expense of fish and Indian tribes. The management of the river under the “Ten Year Plan” developed under Gale Norton, Interior Secretary, has come under attack by Indian tribes and fishermen for causing the deaths of over 34,000 salmon in the lower Klamath River in September 2002. Diversions of Klamath water to fields earlier in the year resulted in warm, low flows below Iron Gate Dam last fall, leading to an unprecedented outbreak of disease and the largest recorded fish kill in U.S. history. “The Bush administration has acted as if federal agencies like the Interior Department are a division of the Republican National Committee and at their disposal to give out political favors,” said Kerry. “The Klamath decision should have been based on law and science and not a political operatives agenda, polls and campaign priorities.” Kerry is the ranking minority member on the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee that has jurisdiction over fishery issues. He also is a recently declared presidential candidate.

A look at wildlife law enforcement in France (by Augusto Atturo) France is one of the largest countries in Europe, with an area of some 551,600 sq km. Wildlife law enforcement officers in France work under two different administrative public corporations,both under the supervision of the Ministry of the Environment : -the National Hunting Office ("Office National de la Chasse"),born in 1972, which studies the trends in numerous wildlife populations and carries out research on species biology and the quality of natural environments. ONC contributes to regulating hunting, controls and coordinates the activities of District Hunting Federations to which it furnishes legal advice; finally, it provides training and information designed to preserve and develop wildlife. It employes the personnel of the "Garderie National de la Chasse et de la faune sauvage"(game law enforcement service). Fish Warden-CSP Wildlife law enforcement personnel is about 85% of the total people employed by the National Hunting Office. According to the last data available (1998) the ONC employees 1408 "Gardes nationaux de la chasse et de la faune sauvage". There are almost 1300 national game wardens assigned to the peripheral districts, while about other 120 fellows are working in special anti-poaching teams ("brigades mobiles d'intervention"). There is a Chief ("Directeur de la Garderie"), 22 regional supervisors,142 officials in command of 220 patrol units (4 of whom in overseas territories).
