10-13/01/2012. Split, Croatia AdriaMed Study Group on Daily Egg Production Method (DEPM) for the appraisal of small pelagic fisheries resources in the Adriatic Sea The AdriaMed Study Group on Daily Egg Production Method (DEPM) was held from 10-13 January 2012 in Split (Croatia) kindly hosted by the Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries of Split. The meeting was organised over four days with practical sessions for the sorting of anchovy eggs and determination of embryonic stages of development; examination of maturity stages in adults and of histological preparations. The Study Group also discussed the methodology for the ageing of the postovulatory follicles (POFs) to estimate the spawning fraction in DEPM and the problems related to the estimation of effects of temperature (e.g. temperature dependent model for anchovy egg development). The Participants identified a series of specific activities to be carried out within the framework of the Project in the coming period to progress towards the estimation of anchovy biomass for 2011. The meeting was attended by experts from Albania, Croatia, Montenegro, Italy and Slovenia.

3-6/10/2011 Durrës, Albania The AdriaMed Working Group on Demersal Fishery Resources in the Adriatic Sea The AdriaMed Working Group on Demersal Fishery Resources in the Adriatic Sea was held on 3-6 October 2011 in Durrës (Albania) kindly hosted by the Laboratory of Fisheries and Aquaculture of Dürres (Agricultural University of Tirana). The meeting was organised over four days with a pre-session in order to finalize, review and discuss the work which began during the AdriaMed “Study Group for the application of bottom-trawl survey data to fish stock assessment in the South Adriatic Sea (GSA18)” for presentation in the context of the Working Group meeting. The Working Group participants presented the results of the surveys carried out in 2010/2011, the WG also focused on the appraisal and stock assessment (standard and alternative methods) of demersal stocks and the results obtained to date. The programmes underway were reviewed and the work carried out by the AdriaMed Study Group on GSA 18 was presented. The WG further discussed the issue of indicators and reference points that could be considered at regional level, also considering EC Marine Strategy Framework Directive. Attention was paid to the activities related to the GFCM-SAC requests. The Participants established the joint, specific activities to be carried out within the framework of the Project in the coming period. The meeting was attended by experts from all the research institutes that are participating in the Project’s activities on demersal fishery resources.

27-30/09/2011. Ancona, Italy The AdriaMed Working Group on Small Pelagic Fishery Resources in the Adriatic Sea The AdriaMed Working Group on Small Pelagic Fisheries Resources was held from 27 to 30 September 2011 in Ancona (Italy) kindly hosted by the Institute CNR - Istituto Scienze Marine (ISMAR) of Ancona. A working-training session began the Working Group meeting, in which updated data on small pelagic fish stocks were analysed and stock assessment methods were applied. The preliminary results were discussed by the experts present from all the institutions which participate in the Project activities on small pelagic resources (Albania, Croatia, Montenegro Italy and Slovenia) The results of the surveys carried out in 2011 were presented (echosurveys in GSA 17 and GSA 18; DEPM in GSA 18). The WG discussed Progress on data collection and the establishment of a Common Database. Activities related to the GFCM-SAC requests were also discussed and the needs for training as well as other joint, specific activities to be elaborated and implemented in the cooperative framework of AdriaMed were established.
