FISHERIES MANAGEMENT

Fisheries Management
• Controlling the quality of a stock caught through the human objective of fishing (
to obtain the largest sustainable catch through recreational, commercial or
traditional activities.
• Fisheries management can be through of as an integrated process to improve the
benefits that society from receiving from harvesting in the ecosystem.
• (I)information gathering
• (II)analysis
• (III)planning
• (IV)consultation
• (V)decision making
• (VI)allocation of resources
• (VII)formulation and implementation
Regional fisheries management
• in the region fisheries have been manage mainly from a sectoral
perspective. There are few well manage fisheries with an objective of
maximizing the economic benefits and increase the natural productivity of
the harvest stocks.

“Existing fisheries in the region may have characteristics such as:”

 mainly focused on target species
Single sector specific(fisheries)
Management actions mainly focus on control of fish
Stock assessment base ;and
Mainly biological management objective
Modern Fisheries Management
• As practice since the early 1940’s is strongly based on the ecosystem
theory but focuses primarily on fishing activity and target fish
resources.
• The fisheries management authority defined “the integrated process
of information gathering ,analysis ,planning ,decision-making
,allocation of resources and formulation and enforcement fishery
regulation to control the present and the future behaviors of the
interested parties in fishery.
ECOSYSTEM
• ECOSYSTEM is a portmanteau word made by jamming two other
words together.
• An ecosystem is simply an easy way to refer to all the life forms(plants
and animals).
In the perfect world ecosystem is in balance. the predator keep the
prey population in check without completely destroying them, and
plants remains varied without one type predominant and crowding out
the rest.
Ecosystem now are rarely balance, and this is often cause for alarm.
Pollution runoff from a factory, animal smugglers, overfishing ,human
negligence and etc are destroying our ecosystem.

Fish Conservation
 What is fish conservation?
• The Fish Conservation major addresses the study, conservation, and
sustainable use of aquatic animals and aquatic habitats, including streams,
wetlands, estuaries, and oceans. You'll study both the management of
recreational and commercial fisheries as well as endangered species and
ecosystems.
• Is the protection if wild fish population.
• In 2011, fish populations are in decline all over the world , making the
conservation of fish species vital.
• Management of fisheries is responsible one of the component of fish
conservation.
• Captive breeding is another components of fish conservation.
• What is captive breeding?
• Captive breeding is the process of maintaining plants or animals in
controlled environments, such as wildlife reserves, zoos, botanic
gardens, and other conservation facilities.
• Since fish are the great risk from environmental pollutants ,so a large
part of fish conservation involves protecting the environment.
Fish Factory
• What is a fish factory?
 also called a fish plant, fish processing facility, is a facility where fish
processing is performed.
The fish factories may either have special farming facilities to breed
their own fish or they may have independent fishing trawlers to
supplies them with fish. Since the fish are perishable commodities that
can deteriorate quickly it is necessary to preserve them. The fish is then
filleted ,graded cut, and trimmed depending on how the fish is to be
sold.
The working principle of fisheries
management.
• A Fishery Manager's Guidebook issued in 2002 by the FAO advises
that a set of working principles should be applied to "highlight the
underlying key issues" of fisheries management."[11]:130[22] There are 8
principles that should be considered as a whole in order to best
manage a fishery.
• Food and Agriculture Organization or” FAO”
• The principles cannot considered in Isolation in considering best
manage fisheries, nevertheless the consequences of the principles for
fisheries give the fundamental nature and task of fisheries
management.
Priciple Management Function
1. Fish stocks and communities are finite and
biological production constrains the potential
yield from fishery.
2. i)Biological production of stock is a function of the i)Target reference points need to be established
size of the stock andii)it is also a function of the through data collection and fisheries assessment;and

or human-induced changes in the environment.
3. Human consumption demands on fish resources
are fundamentally in conflict with the constraint
of maintaining a suitably low risk to the
resources. Futher, modern technology provides
human with means, and demand for its benefits
provides the motivation, to extract fish biomass at
rates much higher than it can be produced.
4. In a multispecies fish, which description
encompasses almost all fisheries , it is impossible
to maximize or optimize the yield from all
fisheries simultaneously.

 Management plans , measure and strategies
• There is a lot of terminology floating around in fisheries management that , unless clearly understood , can
cause futher confusion in an already confusing environment.
• The term management plans ,management measure and management strategies will crop up on many
occasion in this guide book and we need to clarify what we mean each of them and how they differ.
• Why do we need to plan? Measure and strategies?
• It is impossible to achieve such a control without right planning. Therefore, planning becomes necessary to
keep a good control. Helps to achieve objectives: Every organization has certain objectives or targets. It
keeps working hard to fulfill these goals.
• Measure performance and set targets. A growing business needs to be closely and carefully managed to
ensure the success of new investment decisions and expansion plans. ... Putting performance
measurement systems in place can be an important way of keeping track on the progress of your business.
• you need a strategy because it sets the direction and establishes priorities for your organization. ...
Once you define your strategic direction, you can get operations, sales, marketing, administration,
manufacturing, and all other departments moving together to achieve the organization's goals.
 Primary Considerations in Fisheries
• If marine living resources were infinite and indestructible, we could
leave people to use and abuse them at will. However, this is not the
case and we therefore need to manage fisheries to ensure that the
resources are utilised in a sustainable and responsible way. Fisheries
production and yield are constrained by a number of factors which
can be classified as biological, ecological and environmental,
technological, social and cultural, and economic considerations.
• So what is primary consideration?
From the word primary means 1st in a series and consideration is
kindness and thoughtful regard for others, or an act of
thoughtfulness.
Biological considerations
• Biological relating to biology or living organisms.
• In the ocean there were 2 morality of fish these are natural morality
and fishing morality.
• Natural morality –such as predation, disease, an death
• Fishing morality-such as over fishing.
• Fisheries management needs to be aware of this danger and avoid
maintaining such selective pressures over a prolonged period.
• Fishery managers must also respect the stock structure of the
resources.
 Ecological and Environmental Consideration
• Ecology is the scientific analysis and study of interactions among organisms
and their environment.
• Environmental science focuses on the interactions between the physical,
chemical, and biological components of the environment, including their
effects on all types of organisms.
• The physical environment includes land, air, water, plants and animals,
buildings and other infrastructure, and all of the natural resources that
provide our basic needs and opportunities for social and economic
development.
• The chemical environment refers to the aspects of the aquarium such as
water quality and oxygen level.
• Biology is the natural science that studies life and living organisms
What is ecological and environmental
consideration?
• Environmental consideration in planning. Conservation of natural
habitats and ecological services are invariably affected by the
expansion of human society. By considering the environment early in
the planning process, it is often possible to reduce the
negative impact on the environment in a cost-effective way.
