“…Since the early 2000s, environmental and economic concerns have resulted in a growing body of research into energy demands and GHG emissions of fisheries, aquaculture and other food production systems. Energy, fuel and GHG-related research in fisheries in the past decade have included efficiency audits of individual vessels and fleets (Thomas et al 2010;Sala et al 2011); assessments of fuel inputs to national or regional fleets (Tyedmers 2001;Thrane 2004;Schau et al 2009); global assessments of fishing sectors (Parker et al 2014); and life cycle assessments (LCA) of fishery-derived products (Parker 2012b;Avadi and Freon 2013).…”

Fuel consumption of global fishing fleets: current understanding and knowledge gaps

Compared to a century ago, the world's fishing fleets are larger and more powerful, are travelling further and are producing higher quality products. These developments come largely at a cost of high‐fossil fuel energy inputs. Rising energy prices, climate change and consumer demand for ‘green’ products have placed energy use and emissions among the sustainability criteria of food production systems. We have compiled all available published and unpublished fuel use data for fisheries targeting all species, employing all gears and fishing in all regions of the world into a Fisheries and Energy Use Database (FEUD). Here, we present results of our analysis of the relative energy performance of fisheries since 1990 and provide an overview of the current state of knowledge on fuel inputs to diverse fishing fleets. The median fuel use intensity of global fishery records since 1990 is 639 litres per tonne. Fuel inputs to fisheries vary by several orders of magnitude, with small pelagic fisheries ranking among the world's most efficient forms of animal protein production and crustaceans ranking among the least efficient. Trends in Europe and Australia since the beginning of the 21st century suggest fuel use efficiency is improving, although this has been countered by a more rapid increase in oil prices. Management decisions, technological improvements and behavioural changes can further reduce fuel consumption in the short term, although the most effective improvement to fisheries energy performance will come as a result of rebuilding stocks where they are depressed and reducing over‐capacity.

“…The fuel consumption of the bottom trawler were monitored through the Corfù-m system described in Sala et al (2011). The Corfù-m consists of two Coriolis mass flow sensors (Figure 3a), one multichannel recorder (Figure 3b) and one GPS data logger (Figure 3c).…”

“…Fuel consumption depends on some essential factors, such as catch rate (Enerhau, Amble, & Karlsen,1993), towing speed (Beare & Machiels, 2012;Poos, Turenhout, van Oostenbrugge, & Rijnsdorp, 2013), fishing vessel (technology, engine etc.) and sea state, habitat type and gear type (Sala, De Carlo, Buglioni, & Luchetti, 2011a). Sala et al (2011a) used mass flow sensors for the measurement of the fuel consumption of semi-pelagic trawlers during several fishing operations for different phases.…”

At constant speed and revolutions per minute (rpm), the effect of beam trawls on fuel consumption and towing resistance in sea snails (Rapana venosa Valenciennes, 1846) fisheries were measured by a fuel flow meter and force gauge. A traditional beam trawl was used to capture sea snails. Three different sledges (one traditional, T, and two modified, M-1 and M-2) were compared for differences of fuel consumption and towing resistance on two sea ground types (sandy and sandymuddy) during the fishing operation. Beam trawls were observed by underwater video cameras. Trawl hauls with a 10 min towing duration were carried out from July to September 2015 in the southern Black Sea (Turkey). M-1 had the lowest fuel consumption on sandy bottoms and sandymuddy bottoms at constant rpm and speed (P<0.0001). Although the other sledges (T and M-2) had low towing resistance in some cases, M-1 was found to be slightly better than the other sledges (P<0.0001).
