“…In recent years European fisheries managers have witnessed the success of the European CFP in the north (i.e., North East Atlantic, Cardinale et al, 2012;Fernandes and Cook, 2013) and at the same time, its failure in the south (i.e., Mediterranean Sea, Colloca et al, 2013;Vasilakopoulos et al, 2014). Thus, despite the fact that both areas are managed under the same broad fishery policy (i.e., European CFP), a large discrepancy in management performance still occur between the North East Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea.…”

“…After 8 years from the adoption of WSSD and the enforcement of MSFD with the definition of GES and targets in each Member State (MS), and the concurrent application of the CFP, Europe has made great progress toward MSY for stocks inhabiting the North East Atlantic (e.g., Cardinale, 2011;Cardinale et al, 2012;Fernandes and Cook, 2013) but it is still far from achieving its objectives for the Mediterranean Sea marine resources (e.g., Colloca et al, 2013;Vasilakopoulos et al, 2014). Notwithstanding the enforcement of the EU Data Collection Regulation (EU, 2000) in the early 2000s by all EU MSs, and the rapid increase in the number of assessed stocks by the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) and the European Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF), Mediterranean Sea marine resources are still exploited above the levels that deliver the maximum sustainable yield and no signs of recovery are evident (Vasilakopoulos et al, 2014).…”

“…Moreover, as for many of the exploited fish stocks in the world oceans (Hutchings and Reynolds 2004, but see also Cardinale 2011 andCardinale et al 2013), coastal resources are also increasingly depleted (Davies et al 2009). Hence, the assessment of the status of exploited coastal resources to be used for a sustainable management of marine resources and ecosystems is urgent.…”

Summary:Artisanal fisheries are often overlooked by fisheries management agencies despite their great importance for food security and livelihoods. The assessment and management of those fisheries is often rare, especially in developing countries. In Mozambique, a probability-based survey for the monitoring of the small-scale fisheries has been conducted in several coastal provinces since the late 1990's. Here we used the Mozambican on-shore data collection programme to illustrate both the difficulties and possibilities of estimating trends in catch per unit of effort (CPUE in kg day -1 ) for stocks when data is limited in both quantity and quality, as is often the case for artisanal fisheries. Data on catch and effort collected between 1998 and 2009 from four regions along the Mozambican coast and two different gears were used to assess the status of two species (Hilsa kelee and Thryssa vitrirostris) exploited by the artisanal fisheries. The results showed that standardized CPUE have declined for some of the regions and gears analysed, whereas for others the trend has been stable or has even increased during the last 12 years. However, when CPUE is scaled for the increase in net length, most of the times series show a declining trend.Keywords: artisanal fisheries; Mozambique; CPUE.Tendencias de la CPUE de Hilsa kelee y Thryssa vitrirostris explotadas por la pesquería artesanal en Mozambique a partir del muestreo de las capturas en puerto Resumen: La pesca artesanal casi nunca se tiene en cuenta por las agencias de gestión de la pesca a pesar de su gran importancia para la seguridad alimentaria y medios de vida. La evaluación y la gestión de estas pesquerías no es muy frecuente, especialmente en los países en desarrollo. Desde finales de 1990 en varias provincias de la costa de Mozambique se llevó a cabo un seguimiento de las pesquerías artesanales basado en un muestreo probabilístico. Aquí hemos utilizado el programa de obtención de datos en el puerto de Mozambique para ilustrar las dificultades y posibilidades de la estimación de las tendencias de la captura por unidad de esfuerzo (CPUE en kg día -1 ) para los stocks cuando los datos son limitados en cantidad y en calidad, como sucede a menudo en el caso de la pesca artesanal. Se utilizaron datos de captura y esfuerzo recogidos entre 1998 y 2009, en cuatro regiones a lo largo de la costa de Mozambique y con dos artes de pesca distintos, para evaluar el estado de las dos especies (Hilsa kelee y Thryssa vitrirostris) explotadas por las pesquerías artesanales. Los resultados mostraron que la CPUE estandarizada se ha reducido para algunas de las regiones y artes analizados, mientras que para otros la tendencia se ha mantenido estable o incluso ha aumentado durante los últimos 12 años. Sin embargo, cuando se escala la CPUE para el aumento de la longitud de la red, la mayor parte de la serie de tiempos muestra una tendencia a la baja.

“…In this regard, the EU promotes measures for implementing MSY. The process is under way in this direction as pointed by Cardinale et al (2013), but the EU will not be able to achieve the MSY target for all economically valuable fish stocks if the current trends continue (Froese and Proelß 2010). This paper analyzes the problem of designing quota shares allocation mechanisms or management systems to implement MSY harvesting conditions.…”
