- Overview of the fishing activities and sampling programmes
TOR 4. Identification of metiers.Harmonization of métiers at level 6The harmonization of the métiers at level 6 was accomplished in relation to the current EU – Third Countries agreements. Minimum authorized mesh sizes according the above mentioned agreement shall be as follows:
Overview of the fishing activities and sampling programmesFishing Ground: “From Morocco to Guinea Bissau”The following tables show the main fishing activities (year 2006-2007) by decreasing order of importance related to two parameters fishing effort (Table 2), total landings (Table 3) and value in euros (Table 4). The métiers cumulating to 90% of the activity for one, two of three parameters are shown in the tables for coordination and task-sharing. Table 2: “From Morocco to Guinea Bissau” Métiers ordered by total effort in fishing days. Shadowed lines show the métiers cumulating 90% of the total effort in the fishing ground.
*this 355 days at sea come only from effort of Non-Spanish vessels landing in Las Palmas (Canary Islands) Table 3: “From Morocco to Guinea Bissau” Métiers ordered by total landings in total. Shadowed lines show the métiers cumulating 90% of the total landings in the fishing ground.
Table 4: “From Morocco to Guinea Bissau” Métiers ordered by total value in Euros. Shadowed lines show the métiers cumulating 90% of the total value in Euros in the fishing ground.
*Ranking is not complete because Spain and Lithuania did not provide value figures. The following set of tables shows the planned sampling intensities for 2010 by métier for monitoring the landings (Table 6) and the discards (Table 5) Table 5: Sampling intensity (number of trips) programmed in 2009 for monitoring the discards
Table 6: Sampling intensity (number of trips) programmed in 2009 for monitoring the landings.
Some fisheries cover very large areas along African shelf. As non-EU countries also conduct fisheries in this area, the catches taken by vessels of EU MS do only constitute a part of the total catches. Consequently, all catches and sampling effort in this area should be considered when evaluating the MS fishing activities and sampling coverage. Table 7: List of harmonised métiers (MS combined) cumulating 90% of the fishing activities, either by fishing effort or by total landings or by total value, from the Fishing ground:”From Morocco to Guinea Bissau”
Value* Ranking is not complete because Spain and Lithuania did not provide value figures. The métiers retained for sampling coordination at the regional level are the following: METIER DESCRIPTION Templates with description of Spanish métiers and are shown in Annex V. Although the métier OTM_SPF_>=40_0_0 is not a Spanish metier, it is also described because its landings in the port of LasPalmas (Gran Canaria) are sampled by Spain. Here is a short description of métiers retained by ranking system. OTB_CRU_>=40_0_0The crustacean fishery is carried out by freezer trawlers using bottom trawl gear (OTB) and mainly targeted at deep-water pink shrimp (Parapenaeus longirostris (Lucas, 1846)) and southern pink shrimp (Farfantepenaeus notialis (Pérez Farfante, 1967)), which together amount to more than 75% of the overall catch. Currently only fishing agreements with Mauritania and Guinea Bissau allow this fishery. The permitted trawl mesh varies between 40 mm (for Guinea Bissau) and 50 mm (for Mauritania). Fishing trips vary from 1 to 3 months. This métier is operated and monitored by Spain for landings and discards. OTB_CEP_>=70_0_0The cephalopod fishery is carried out by freezer trawlers using bottom trawl gear (OTB). It is targeted at octopus (Octopus vulgaris Cuvier, 1797), cuttlefish (Sepia hierredda Rang, 1835 and Sepia officinalis Linnaeus, 1758) and squid (Loligo vulgaris Lamark, 1798) essentially in the territorial waters of Mauritania, Guinea Bissau and Guinea Conakry (expired in 2009), under Community fishing licences. The minimum mesh size is 70 mm. The number of vessels has decreased during last years, there are only about 23 active vessels now (roughly 55 active vessel in 1999). This métier is operated and monitored by Spain for landings and discards. OTM_SPF_>=40_0_0The fishery targeting small pelagic species in Mauritanian and Moroccan waters is conducted by the European industrial pelagic freezer trawl fleet. It is targeted at catching small pelagic species using a pelagic trawl (OTM) with a minimum mesh size of 40 mm. The species targeted in this fishery are: sardine (Sardina pilchardus (Walbaum, 1792)), round and flat sardinella (Sardinella aurita Valenciennes, and S. maderensis (Lowe, 1838)), horse mackerel (Trachurus spp.) and chub mackerel (Scomber colias Gmelin, 1789). The catch is sorted by species, classified in various commercial categories and frozen on board .This metier is mainly operated by Dutch vessels, and also Lithuanian, Latvian, Polish, German?, British, Irish and French vessels. It is considered to be of great interest for sampling because it is a Community fleet with the highest catch volumes. Catches partly are landed in a Spanish harbour (Las Palmas, Canary Islands) and other part is transshipped or landed in flag countries. Currently this métier is monitored by Spain for landings. The Netherlands are considering establishing an observer at sea program and/or are considering continuation of scientific research in relation to an observer-programme.
OTB_DEF_>=70_0_0The fishery targeted at Benguela and Senegal hake using a trawl (OTB): targeted at two hake species, Merluccius polli Cadenat, 1950 and M. senegalensis Cadenat, 1950, which are marketed together as “Black hake” and account for over 90% of total landings. The minimum mesh size is 70 mm, according to the Community fishing agreements signed with Morocco, Mauritania and Senegal (expired in 2006). They carry out fishing trips of increasingly short duration, the average fishing trip lasted 10 days in 2007. This métier is operated and monitored by Spain for landings and discards. Fishing Ground: MadeiraPortugal is the only country fishing in this area so, in future, due to the exclusive Portuguese fisheries in this area, regional coordination is not necessary. The métier description is showing for information. LLD_DWF_0_0_0This métier comprises the very specialized Madeira fishery of the black scabbard fish (Aphanopus spp), exclusively performed with drifting longlines (LLD, see doubt 2 below), set at the water column between 800-1300 m deep. Catches of this metier are strongly based in the targeted species of black scabbard fish which usually composes 85-98% of the total catches. The fishery is mostly developed inside the Madeira Exclusive Economic Zone, included in the CECAF 34.1.2. area, all year round. Sporadically fishing sets are made, by the vessels with superior autonomy, in the vicinity of the Madeira EEZ. This metier comprises around 28 fishing vessels, mostly between 12-18 m. LLS_FIF_0_0_0This metier comprises a multispecific fishery, developed with bottom longlines (LLS), targeting a large number of demersal species (FIF) with high commercial value (peixe fino). This fishery is operated all year round by small vessels 14 (<10 m) in the insular shelf. In this metier we merged 45 other vessels of the same segment (<10 m), operating with handlines (LHM) and 1 (<10 m) operating with bottom traps. This merging was made taking in consideration that the target assemblages are basically the same that the LLS_FIF metier. PS_SPF_16_0_0This metier comprises the fishery of small coastal pelagic fishes (SPF), locally called ruama, mostly horse mackerel (Trachurus picturatus) and chub or common mackerel (Scomber colias=Scomber japonicus). This fishery uses a purse seine net, with light attraction (PS). Nets have a legal mesh size of 16 mm. This metier, from 2009 onwards, is comprised by only 3 vessels of the 18-24 m segment operating all year round. MISC_MOL_0_0_0This metier is the principal occupation of 8 small vessels (>10 m) and 1 (10-12 m) segments. These species are caught in the intertidal zone by scuba divers with hand devices (lapeiras), specifically targeting two species of limpets (Patella aspera and Patella candei). There is specific local regulation of this fishery, capture of specimens under 40 mm is not allowed, there is a daily limit to the catches of each vessel (200 kg) and a closure between 1 th December to 28th February.
