Strengths and Weaknesses of the Management and Monitoring of Deep-Water Stocks, Fisheries, and Ecosystems in Various Areas of the World—A Roadmap Toward Sustainable Deep-Water Fisheries in the Northeast Atlantic?

Abstract: Scientific interest in deep-water marine resources has increased dramatically over the last 10-20 years as management bodies have sought advice on how to manage deep-water fisheries and protect deep-water ecosystems. The strengths and weaknesses of the management and monitoring of deep-water stocks, fisheries, and ecosystems in various areas of the world are described, with the objective of informing the EU FP7 DEEPFISHMAN project so that it can fulfill its primary aim, which is to develop strategic options fo… Show more

“…Estimates of such parameters are fundamental to understanding the population dynamics of a species and for predicting responses of populations to exploitation, which underpins the development of sustainable management strategies (Hilborn and Walters, 1992;Large et al, 2013). Deep-water demersal fishes are generally considered to exhibit a lower production potential and resilience to exploitation compared to most shallower water species based on their life history traits (e.g., high longevity, slow growth, delayed maturity and low fecundity, (Koslow et al, 2000)), which infers a greater urgency for sustainable management (Cailliet et al, 2001;Clarke et al, 2003;Newman and Dunk, 2003;Morato et al, 2006;Wakefield et al, 2013a;Williams et al, 2013).…”

“…Globally, most relatively deep-water (>200 m) fisheries have developed during the past few decades, and consequently, there are still limited data on the biology, demography and relative abundance of many associated demersal fishes with which to assess their vulnerability and stock status (Clarke et al, 2003;Large et al, 2013). Estimates of such parameters are fundamental to understanding the population dynamics of a species and for predicting responses of populations to exploitation, which underpins the development of sustainable management strategies (Hilborn and Walters, 1992;Large et al, 2013).…”

“…For many populations, abundance and distribution information are not readily available because distributions span large spatial scales and it is difficult and costly to adequately sample their habitats. This is the case for many deepsea fish populations, which are not well sampled by surveys or which rely on commercial data (such as catch and effort data from fisheries) because they lack survey data altogether (Large et al 2013). In light of multiple impacts from overexploitation, climate change and habitat degradation, better methods are needed to reliably evaluate the status and vulnerability of such populations from the data that are available or from those obtainable in cost-effective ways.…”

“…Currently, there are considerable capacity shortfalls in data collection and large knowledge gaps in our understanding of the marine environment that are preventing effective fisheries management (Dorner at al., 2015;Simmonds et al, 2011;Graham et al, 2011). For instance, biological reference points have not been defined for several commercially important fin-and shell-fish, such as brown crab (Cancer pagurus, Cancridae) skates and rays (superorder: Batoidea), preventing the development of management plans (Tully et al, 2006;Pilling et al, 2008;Large et al, 2013). Many data poor (or data limited) stocks are deemed as a 'high risk' by the 5 supply chain, whose purchasing and sourcing policies do not allow them to source from such fisheries (Parkes et al, 2010;MRAG, 2010).…”
