Overall Objective: |
|
|
Regional monitoring system for the
assessment of the small pelagic fish biomass and
related fishery exploitation patterns in the
Adriatic Sea. |
|
Methodology: |
|
Commercial catch and effort data
collection by species/gear at selected landing sites (base ports) around
the Adriatic coast with associated biological sub-sampling. |
|
Preliminary Results: |
|
A Regional monitoring system for the
assessment of the small pelagic fish biomass and related
fishery exploitation patterns in the Adriatic Sea
(AdriaMed-SP) has been established. Sardine and anchovy
commercial catch samples were collected monthly from 12
ports in the Adriatic Sea: Rovinj, Novigrad Sea, Zadar and
Postira, Vlore, Durres, Shengjin, Sarande, Chioggia, Porto
Garibaldi, Ancona and San Benedetto del Tronto. Catch and
effort statistics and biological data have been compiled
in a common database.
The overall standardization in data
collection and analysis achieved by this programme has led
to two regional small pelagic stock assessment workshops,
the first of this kind in the Mediterranean. The last
workshop was held at the ISMAR of Ancona (Italy) on 26 -
29 April 2004. Four regional assessments (GSA 17) were
produced. The last two assessment papers on sardine and
anchovy shared stocks were presented and discussed at the
GFCM SAC Sub-committee on Stock Assessment (Malaga, May
2004).
Annual estimates of mid-year stock
biomass and of mean fishing mortality rates were obtained.
The mean ratio between fishery catch and estimated
mid-year biomass was assessed for both anchovy and sardine
stocks. A fish otolith reading calibration exercise is
being organized, this will allow the utilisation of the
full age data set from the whole area covered by
AdriaMed-SP. |
