“…In response to the problem of choke species, fleets may also form cooperatives to coordinate measures such as voluntary area closures to help keep catches of choke species below limits (DeAlessi et al, 2014(DeAlessi et al, , 2021Holland & Martin, 2019). When discarding is allowed and unaccounted, choke species are discarded and therefore do not become constraining, but total mortality on discarded species may exceed TACs, in some cases substantially.…”

“…Individual and fleet‐wide limits on bycatch or choke species, especially when coupled with comprehensive at‐sea monitoring, provide strong incentives for individuals or fleets to change behaviour or fishing locations (Annala, 1996; Baelde, 2001; Branch & Hilborn, 2008; Forrest et al., 2020; Gale et al., 2022). Fleet‐wide limits provide incentives to form cooperatives and encourage measures such as individual species caps (as seen in Alaska and the USA West Coast; DeAlessi et al., 2014; DeAlessi et al., 2021).…”

Although most fisheries assessment and management focuses on the status of individual stocks, and regulations are commonly established as single‐species total allowable catch limits (TACs), much of the catch from global fisheries comes from mixed‐stock fisheries where species cannot be harvested separately. We show that in some fisheries where TAC and catch of demersal fish stocks are tracked, the average fraction of TAC harvested ranges from 21% to 68% overall and is declining. This is, in part, related to efforts to protect all species from overfishing, leading to ‘choke species’, which limit fishing pressure on other target species. While some choke species arise from a mix of low and high‐productivity species, others result from allocation processes, which can be aggravated by shifting distributions due to climate change. Underutilization of TACs can also result from market limitations, low value of individual species, undercapacity or management measures. Proposed methods for increasing long‐term yield require species to be managed in stock groups, or allowing the abundance of some stocks to fall below target reference points. We suggest that the observed low and declining aggregate harvests are due, primarily, to the focus on single‐stock sustainability measures, rather than performance of the fisheries in relation to potential overall yield. While there is a growing consensus that single‐species management should be replaced by an ecosystem‐based approach, this will require clear legislative directives regarding management of the trade‐offs involved. Time series considered in this analysis do not extend beyond 2019.

“…At the core of fisheries, both the fishing industry and individual fishers (Figure 1) have direct and valuable knowledge not only about the environments they work in (Johannes et al, 2000), but also choices made and responses to regulation and management. This provides valuable insight to potential tradeoffs in objectives and implications for management actions (Neis et al, 1999;Neis and Felt, 2000;Gutierrez et al, 2011;De Alessi et al, 2021).…”

Direct engagement of the fishing industry in the provision and co-creation of knowledge and data for research and management is increasingly prevalent. In both the North Atlantic and North Pacific, enhanced and targeted engagement is evident. More is needed. Science-Industry collaborative approaches to developing questions, collecting data, interpreting data, and sharing knowledge create opportunities for information transfer and improved understanding of ecosystem interactions, stock dynamics, economic incentives, and response to management. These collaborations require clear communication and awareness of objectives and outcomes. These initiatives also require careful attention to conditions and interactions that foster respect, trust, and communication. Respect is critical and entails acknowledging the respective skills and expertise of both scientists and fishers. Trust is needed to build confidence in the information developed and its use. Communication is essential to maintain relationships and leverage shared insights. To assess current trends and future opportunities related to this type of engagement, we convened a networking session of research scientists, industry scientists, industry leaders, and fishers at the Annual Science Meeting of the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) to address the following questions: (1) What are scientific needs that could be addressed with industry-collected data or knowledge? And (2) How can science-industry collaboration be made sustainable? Here we identify opportunities and acknowledge challenges, outline necessary conditions for respectful and sustainable collaborative research, and highlight ways to promote stakeholder involvement in developing science. We address industry concerns and solicit industry advice. We also address challenges to scientists in ensuring standards for scientific data, conflict of interest, and applying information to advise management. The discussions in this session and subsequent correspondence have led to a set of guidelines and best practices that provide a framework to advance further collaboration between industry and research science. We identify opportunities for directed engagement. We also detail potential approaches to clarify expectations and develop avenues for iterative communication and engagement to sustain collaborative efforts over time. The intent is to improve and expand data streams and contextual understanding of ecosystem processes, stock assessment, and socio-economic dynamics to the benefits of science and industry alike.

Frontiers Research Topics

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Frontiers is more than just an open access publisher of scholarly articles: it is a pioneering approach to the world of academia, radically improving the way scholarly research is managed. The grand vision of Frontiers is a world where all people have an equal opportunity to seek, share and generate knowledge. Frontiers provides immediate and permanent online open access to all its publications, but this alone is not enough to realize our grand goals. Frontiers journal seriesThe Frontiers journal series is a multi-tier and interdisciplinary set of openaccess, online journals, promising a paradigm shift from the current review, selection and dissemination processes in academic publishing. All Frontiers journals are driven by researchers for researchers; therefore, they constitute a service to the scholarly community. At the same time, the Frontiers journal series operates on a revolutionary invention, the tiered publishing system, initially addressing specific communities of scholars, and gradually climbing up to broader public understanding, thus serving the interests of the lay society, too. Dedication to qualityEach Frontiers article is a landmark of the highest quality, thanks to genuinely collaborative interactions between authors and review editors, who include some of the world's best academicians. Research must be certified by peers before entering a stream of knowledge that may eventually reach the public -and shape society; therefore, Frontiers only applies the most rigorous and unbiased reviews. Frontiers revolutionizes research publishing by freely delivering the most outstanding research, evaluated with no bias from both the academic and social point of view. By applying the most advanced information technologies, Frontiers is catapulting scholarly publishing into a new generation. What are Frontiers Research Topics?Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers journals series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area.
