The combustion of fossil fuels is considered a major cause of climate change, which is why the reduction of emissions has become a key goal of the Paris climate agreement. Coherent monitoring of the energy profile of fishing vessels through an energy audit can effectively identify sources of inefficiency, allowing for the deployment of well-informe...

This paper presents an analysis of the effect of SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic and related restrictive measures on the activity of the Italian fleet of trawlers, which represents one of the most important fisheries in the Mediterranean Sea. We integrated multiple sources of information including: (1) Fleet activity data from Vessel Monitoring Sys...

This paper presents a characterisation of the fishing fleet operating in Campania, one of the twenty administrative Regions of Italy. An analysis of the contribution of the regional fleet to the national fishing capacity is also provided.. The fleet is characterised according to its technical features (number of vessels, tonnage, engine power, leng...

The rationale applied for monitoring and managing fisheries is based on the implicit assumption that yield and stocks status is essentially determined by fisheries. Moreover, the fisheries yield is quantified and analyzed in terms of landings with respect to official management area of registration of vessels. In this way, the real area of activity...

Benthic—pelagic coupling plays a pivotal role in aquatic ecosystems but the effects of fishery driven interactions on its functioning has been largely overlooked. Disentangling the benthic—pelagic links including effects of mixed fisheries, however, needs sketching a whole description of ecosystem interactions using quantitative tools. A holistic f...

Input parameters and main outputs (in bold) of the food web model. For each functional group (FG) are detailed inputs: biomass (B; t km−2), production/biomass ratio (P/B; yr−1), consumption/biomass ratio (Q/B; yr−1); Landing and Discards are expressed in t km−2 year−1. Outputs: trophic level (TL), ecotrophic efficiency (EE; for most of the FG excep...

Matrix of diet used as input. Raw data across functional groups of predators in columns and preys in rows. (DOCX)

Mixed trophic impact matrix. Rows are impacting FGs and columns impacted FGs. (TIF)

Sources and references used for each functional group representing the Strait of Sicily food web model. Biomass (B); diet information used to build the diet matrix; production per unit of biomass (P/B); consumption per unit of biomass (Q/B). F = fishing mortality, M = natural mortality, Z = total mortality. (DOCX)

Ecological and fishery related indices across modelled Mediterranean ecosystems: Gulf of Gabes (Hattab et al. 2013), Catalan Sea (Coll et al. 2009_early 2000s), Adriatic Sea (Coll et al. 2007), Aegean Sea (Tsagarakis et al. 2010), Greek Ionian Sea (Moutopoulos et al. 2013), Mediterranean Sea (Piroddi et al. 2015_global). B total biomass (exluding d...

Summary of the diet matrix of the food web model. Proportion of preys (rows) in the diet of the predators (columns) in ranks. Fraction of import in the diet (fraction of energy assumed to be taken out of the system) are also indicated. (TIF)

At present, the assessment and management of Adriatic Sea fishery resources are based on data that do not fully account for the complex spatial patterns arising from fleet behavior and/or species' behavior and biology, mainly because logbooks do not guarantee adequate coverage of the fishing activity exerted by the fleet. For data collection, the A...

Spawning period of Atlantic horse mackerel, Trachurus trachurus (Linnaeus, 1758), in the Strait of Sicily was investigated using data collected by monitoring of commercial catches in 2009-2015. Spawning months were identified by the analyses of percentage of mature specimens throughout the year. A synchronism of occurrence of mature specimens of bo...

The Workshop on the Transversal Variables took place in Zagreb from the 19th to 23rd of January, 2015 mainly to tackle the issues related to the increasing need of having fisheries fleet economic data and fisheries biologic data on a level of disaggregation that would allow a proper interoperability between datasets to underpin bioeconomic modellin...

This poster presents data on shark species caught by the Italian fleet in the Mediterranean sea between 2004 and 2011. Landings were recorded by IREPA, which is responsible for the production of fishery statistics in Italy with the contribution of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry Policies. Mustelus spp. are the species most frequently caug...
