The equipment and practices for finding, harvesting, handling, processing, and distributing aquatic resources and their products.
Industry:Fishing
The association of cumulative limits with permits, rather than with vessels, allowing a vessel with multiple limited entry permits to harvest multiple cumulative limits. Also known as permit stacking.
Industry:Fishing
The accidental capture of aquatic organisms by fishing gear (usually gillnets, or traps, pots, etc. ) that has been lost or discarded into the sea and which continues to entangle or trap aquatic animals.
Industry:Fishing
The changes in people, families, and communities resulting from a fishery management decision.
Industry:Fishing
In general, refers to elements of a natural aquatic resource (e.g. strains, species, populations, stocks, assemblages that can be legally caught by fishing). May sometimes be taken as including also the habitat of such resources.
Industry:Fishing
The smallest individual size allowed in landings or markets. Established by fishery management councils (FMCs) and enforced through control at landing sites or markets, it is intended to minimize the catch of small (undersized) fish or juveniles giving them a better chance to grow before being vulnerable to fishing. Based on yield per recruit considerations and models, it aims at avoiding or correcting growth overfishing.
Industry:Fishing
Vertebrate and cartilanginous fishery species, not including crustaceans, cephalopds, or other mollusks.
Industry:Fishing
The basic form of production model in which the relation between yield and effort takes the form of a symmetric parabola. In the Schaefer Model, BMSY is at one-half of the carrying capacity.
Industry:Fishing
One of the status determination criteria (SDC) for determining if overfishing is occurring. It will usually be equivalent to the fishing mortality (F) corresponding to the maximum sustainable yield (MSY) control rule. If current fishing mortality rates are above Fthreshold, overfishing is occurring.
Industry:Fishing
Vessel that harvests fish but does not have onboard processing capacity.
