DEEPFISHMAN

Kick-off meeting

Nantes

12-14 May 2009

DEEPFISHMAN general aim

• Develop strategy options for the management of deepwater fisheries in the NE Atlantic– Appropriate/new

• Stock assessment methods• Biological reference points (BRPs)• Harvest Control rules (HCRs)• Managements strategies

– Account of • Stock vulnerability• Biodiversity/ecosystem and VMEs sustainability and conservation

– Specify additional monitoring data requirements • (e.g.) lack of on-going cruises, economics data missing in some fisheries, poor

knowledge of high resolution spatial distribution of fishing effort (required for management of VMEs conservation)

Current situation: assessment• Exploratory/unreliable in most CSs

• Existing data no all available to assessment groups (e.g. ICES/WGDEEP)

• No protocole to integrate some data (e.g. on-board observations)

Current situation: management(EU only)

• Main management tool= TACs• Effort limitation (cap on total effort, licensing

scheme)• Existing technical measures: e.g. spatial and

seasonal closures for blue ling• Ecosystem/biodiversity assessment: not

integrated with stock assessment– Some MPAs designed for VMEs conservations

What should be achived in 2012• Reliable assessments and/or indicator based

management• BRPs, HCRs• Monitoring framework • Requirements for progress towards

– objectives of WSSD (e.g. MSY estimated data or requirements)

– (For EU) MSFD• initial ecosystem assessment• indicators relevant to the 11 ecosystem descriptors of MSFD

Integrated in a long-term management strategy framework
