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.
