Fisheries ministers risk damaging our natural resources by consistently fishing over and above the limits recommended by scientists. Deep sea fisheries are the focus of the second in our briefings series to identify which countries are standing in the way of more fish, profits and jobs for European citizens.

The chemistry of copper (Cu) in seawater is well known to be dominated by complexation with organic ligands. The prevailing paradigm is that Cu forms strong but labile complexes. Recently, a novel procedure revealed that only a small fraction of dissolved Cu exists as labile complexes. The majority is present as a fraction that is relatively inert...

One of the fishery resources that have high economic value are demersal fisheries resources in deep sea waters. The results ofthis study found 22 demersal fish species with high economic value captured by fishermen. The results ofthe study found as many as 22 species, five fish stretcher 5 that can be foundin nearly all areas and fishing seas...
There are two species of redfish in Divisions 3L and 3N, the deep-sea redfish (Sebastes mentella) and the Acadian redfish (Sebastes fasciatus) that have been commercially fished and reported collectively as redfish in fishery statistics. Both species, occurring on Div. 3LN and managed as a single stock, don't belong to isolated local populations bu...
Red snapper (Etelinae subfamily) is demersal fishery resources. It becomes export commodity because of having economic value, fish food quality and delicious taste. Besides, red snapper becomes recreational fishing object in various tropic and subtropical countries. For years, people on Lease Islands, Central Maluku have been hereditary catching re...
Aspects of population dynamics of Spinycheek lanternfish Benthosema fibulatum (Gilbert and Cramer 1897), caught off the southwest coast of India were studied. The asymptotic length (L∞) and growth constant (K) were estimated at 108 mm and 0.460 yr-1 respectively while tmax was worked out as 6 years. Benthosema fibulatum grows faster initially and a...

Illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing refers to fishing activities that do not comply with national, regional, or international fisheries conservation or management legislation or measures. IUU fishing activities may have serious detrimental impacts on marine ecosystems, ecosystem services, and the societies that derive benefit from such services. IUU fishing exerts additional pressure on fish stocks, which may already be under pressure from unsustainable rates of legal fishing activities, and can thereby contribute to the depletion of fish stocks. In addition to these direct impacts on target fish species, fishing activities (and therefore IUU fishing activities) can have direct impacts on non-target commercial species and non-marketable fish, on protected and vulnerable species, and on habitats. This chapter focuses on the causes, motives, and incentives for committing illegal fishing. It considers the role of rights-based fisheries management systems in incentivizing or dis-incentivizing illegal behaviour. Rights-based management programmes convey and manage exclusive entitlements to an entity—person, company, vessel, community—to fish in a particular place at a particular time. The European Commission defines rights-based management as ‘a formalised system of allocating individual fishing rights to fishermen, fishing vessels, enterprises, cooperatives and fishing communities’. Rights-based systems of fisheries management exist in most EU member states in some shape or form, and the Commission sought to introduce an EU system of transferable fishing concessions (defined as a revocable user entitlement to a specific part of fishing opportunities allocated to a member state, which the holder may transfer) in its proposal for the reform of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP). Rights-based management is found to be a potential tool to deliver better fisheries management. The adoption of rights-based management can lead to better compliance with fisheries requirements due to the interest rights holders have, their ability to lease extra quotas, etc. However, the benefits of rights-based management depend entirely on the rights being adequately determined. If fishers consider their entitlements to be insufficient or unfairly distributed, then non-compliant behaviour may occur. Rights-based management is, therefore, a mechanism to be considered within the design of fisheries management. In taking such a system forward, it is important to design the catch-share systems properly to ensure the incentives work for compliance as well—that is, to address or limit social equity concerns.
This book brings together the findings of a multi-disciplinary and international research project on environmental crime in Europe, funded by the European Union (EU). “European Union Action to Fight Environmental Crime" (EFFACE) was a 40-month research project that included eleven European research institutions and think tanks and was led by Ecologic Institute Berlin. EFFACE assessed the impacts of environmental crime as well as effective and feasible policy options for combating it from a multidisciplinary perspective, with a focus on the EU. As part of this project, numerous instances of environmental crime within and outside of the EU were studied and are now presented in this volume.
This edited collection is highly innovative in showing not only the many facets of environmental crime, but also how it should be conceptualised and the consequences. An original and rigorous study, this book will be of particular interest to policy makers and scholars of green criminology and environmental studies.
