AdriaMed Working Group on fisheries socio-economics in the Adriatic Sea |
The AdriaMed Working Group on fisheries socio-economics in the Adriatic Sea (WG-SEC) was held at the FAO-HQ, Rome on the 13th–14th December 2017. The meeting was attended by representatives of the Fisheries Administrations and Fisheries Research Institutions from Albania, Croatia, Italy, Montenegro and Slovenia. The Working Group was aimed at supporting discussion on fisheries management in the Adriatic, by including socio-economic aspects besides the work carried out on fishery biology in the Adriatic Sea. This was the first meeting of the Working Group. The meeting achieved to: 1) overview the fisheries socio-economic data collection in the Adriatic region through the comparison of the data collection systems in place in the countries; 2) identify possible joint analysis and data modelling for the socio-economic characterization of the Adriatic Sea small pelagic fisheries; 3) define tentative work plan for the implementation of economic analysis in the short- and long- term on the small pelagic fisheries case study.

AdriaMed Working Group on Demersal Fishery Resources in the Adriatic Sea |
The AdriaMed Working Group on Demersal Fishery Resources in the Adriatic Sea (WG-DEM) was held on 24-25 October 2017 in FAO-HQs, Rome, Italy.
All the Project participating institutions (from Albania, Croatia, Montenegro Italy, Slovenia and Bosnia-Herzegovina) was attended the meeting. The WG-DEM was focused on: i) Identifying priorities and needs for the Adriatic region; ii) Facilitating the coordination at Adriatic level of different research activities; iii) Addressing the request from the GFCM-SAC to provide sub-regional stock assessment on priority species; iv) Fostering technical discussion on fisheries management plans at Adriatic level, with particular focus on the Jabuka/Pomo Pit area.

Joint acoustic and ichthyoplankton survey on board of the R/V “Dallaporta” |
A joint acoustic and ichthyoplankton survey on board of the R/V “Dallaporta” covering Adriatic waters (GSA18) was carried out. The survey was organized with the support of the AdriaMed Project, in cooperation with CNR-ISMAR Ancona (Italy), the Institute of Marine Biology of Kotor (Montenegro) and the Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Development and Water Administration of Albania. The acoustic survey was performed in line with the EU MEDIAS protocol. Theoretical and on-board training activities on acoustic survey and DEPM methods were carried out for national staff from Albania, Italy and Montenegro. Due to bad weather conditions the survey did not covered Albania.

AdriaMed Study Group on intercalibration of fish otolith age reading |
The AdriaMed Study Group on intercalibration of fish otolith reading (SG-OTH) was held on 17-19 January 2017 in FAO-HQs, Italy. All the Project participating institutions (from Albania, Croatia, Montenegro Italy and Slovenia) attended the meeting. The meeting, focused on anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) and saw the participation of an international senior expert on the subject. The participants completed the work initiated in July 2016 in Croatia and agreed on new criteria for anchovy otolith reading. The SG-OTH initiate an intercalibration exercise, with otoliths exchange, that will culminate in few months with the adoption of a new reference Age Length Keys for anchovy.

AdriaMed meeting in support of fisheries Management Strategy Evaluation (MSE) |
The AdriaMed technical meeting towards the development of management measures (MSE) in the Adriatic Sea was held at FAO HQ, Rome, 9-10 February 2017. Fisheries scientists, national administration and representatives of fishers involved in small pelagic fisheries in the Adriatic Sea will participate in the meeting.
The overall objective of the meeting was to foster the discussion on possible management scenario and harvest control rules to be tested by Management Strategies Evaluation (MSE) models within the framework of the GFCM management plan on small pelagics in the Adriatic Sea (GFCM Rec. 37/2013/1; 38/2014/1;39/2015/1 and GFCM/40/2016/3).

AdriaMed Working Group on Small Scale Fisheries in the Adriatic Sea |
All the Project participating institutions (from Albania, Croatia, Montenegro Italy and Slovenia) attended the meeting, including experts from Bosnia and Herzegovina. The WG-SSF focused on the activities carried out in the past years in the Adriatic Sea on invasive species and on small scale fisheries. The experts identified joint activities to be elaborated by the WG-SSF, inclusive of methodological approach, to be implemented in the cooperative framework of the AdriaMed Project. The joint activities included, inter alia, the monitoring of the occurrence of new species in the Adriatic Sea, the mapping of SSF activities, an overview of the current situation of Recreational Fisheries in the Adriatic region. In the View of the forthcoming “GFCM Working Group on Small Scale Fisheries and Recreational Fisheries” (September 2017), the participants agreed on the contribution that the WG-SSF could provide to the working group.
