Record 1 2023-03-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Collaboration with the FAO
  • Commercial Fishing
CONT

While preventing loss is preferable for reducing the impacts of ghost fishing and marine debris, gear adaptations can minimize the impact of ghost fishing by reducing the possibility of the gear to continually fish. Biodegradable nets, traps, and pots... can reduce ghost fishing.... The... crab fishery... uses cotton escape cord, which decomposes and releases the plastic hooks an average of 126 days after deployment... Escape cords are mandatory in the fishery, but the regulation does not specify the diameter.

Record 2 2023-03-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Commercial Fishing
  • Ecology (General)
  • Environmental Management
DEF

A collective term for [an apparatus] that is used [for fishing] on the seabed.

CONT

Bottom-contact fishing gear has impacts on benthic populations, communities, and habitats. The effects are not uniform, and depend on at least the specific features of the seafloor habitat, including the natural disturbance regime; the species present; the type of gear used; the methods and timing of deployment of the gear; and the frequency with which a site is impacted by specific gears.

Key term(s)
  • bottom contact fishing gear
  • bottom contacting fishing gear
  • bottom contact gear
  • bottom contacting gear

French

Domaine(s)
  • Pêche commerciale
  • Écologie (Généralités)
  • Gestion environnementale
CONT

Les engins de pêche en contact avec le fond ont des effets négatifs sur les populations, les communautés et les habitats benthiques. Les effets sont variables, mais dépendent des caractéristiques précises des habitats du plancher océanique, incluant le régime de perturbation naturelle, les espèces présentes, le type d'engin utilisé, les méthodes et le moment du déploiement de l'engin, et la fréquence à laquelle on a dérangé un site avec un engin donné.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Collaboration with the FAO
  • Commercial Fishing
  • Finance
CONT

Capital costs, that is, the cost of vessels, fishing gear, processing plants, and so on, would be affected by climate change if additional capital for fishing and processing operations is required to adapt to climate change impacts on the quantity, composition, and distribution of fisheries resources... Changes in migratory fish routes and fish distribution would affect travel time, which can lead to increases or decreases in fuel and ice cost[, ] depending on catch levels and patterns, and the management regime in place.

Record 4 2022-10-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Collaboration with the FAO
  • Commercial Fishing
  • Ecosystems
DEF

The catching of fish or shellfish that are found on or close to the seabed, using any gear type likely to come in contact with the seafloor or benthic organisms during the normal course of operations.

CONT

Since gear impacts are affected by such factors such as the type of benthic communities over which they are fished, restricting bottom fishing from specific areas would reduce impact on particularly sensitive areas.... the policy for managing the impacts of fishing on sensitive benthic areas... can be used to protect ocean-floor habitat.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Collaboration avec la FAO
  • Pêche commerciale
  • Écosystèmes
CONT

Étant donné que l'incidence des engins dépend de facteurs comme le type de communauté benthique qui fait l'objet de la pêche, la restriction de la pêche de fond dans certaines zones réduirait l'incidence sur les zones particulièrement sensibles. [...] la politique de gestion des impacts de la pêche sur les zones benthiques vulnérables peut être utilisée pour protéger l'habitat du plancher océanique.
