The fishing mortality rate which the increase in yield per recruit in weight for an increase in a unit of effort is only 10 percent of the yield per recruit produced by the first unit of effort on the unexploited stock (i.e. the slope of the yield-per-recruit curve for the F0. 1 rate is only one-tenth the slope of the curve at its origin).
Industry:Fishing
The size, biodiversity, stability, degree of organization, and internal exchanges of materials and energy among different pools, and other properties that characterize an ecosystem.
Industry:Fishing
The amount of yield in weight that can be removed from a population of fish without leading to biomass increase or decline. When the population net productivity is high (e.g. at medium levels of, close to maximum sustainable yield, MSY), the replacement yield will also be high. Conversely, when the productivity is low (e.g. when the population is underexploited or overexploited), the replacement yield will be low. In either case, if the actual yield taken is equal to the replacement yield, then the biomass will not change from one year to the next.
Industry:Fishing
Measures by which a national government, regional or state authority, attempts to influence or control the behavior of individuals, companies, and communities in the fisheries sector to achieve certain objectives. The measures can be of varied kinds including fiscal measures, (e. G. taxes, subsidies, public investments, etc. ); trade measures (e. G. import and export duties; quotas); social measures (health and education services); regulations (i.e. on food quality; means and types of fish harvesting; individual transferable quotas); and others.
Industry:Fishing
In Alaska, quota shares in the Alaskan halibut and sablefish individual fishing quota (IFQ) program that are not allowed to be subdivided when transferred. There are limits on the size of the blocked quota and on the number of blocks that an individual may own in a given area. This is intended to ensure the availability of small units of quota for purchase by new entrants.
Industry:Fishing
The annual recommended or specified regulated catch for a species or species group. The regional fishery management council sets the TAC from the range of acceptable biological catch (ABC).
Industry:Fishing
Rate of exploitation where the resource stock is drawn below the size that, on average, would support the long-term maximum sustainable yield (MSY) of the fishery.
Industry:Fishing
The sum of the catches that are landed (expressed as live weight or equivalents). Nominal catches do not include unreported discards.
Industry:Fishing
Organisms which, at the harvest stage, either are immobile on or under the seafloor or are unable to move except in constant physical contact with the seafloor or the subsoil.
