Fisheries Resources
Organic resources are the same limited resources as mineral ones. If we exhausted mineral resources, mineral resources will run out. But, as organic resources have reproductive mechanism and differ from mineral resources, we can make the best use of organic resources for permanent utilization by applying their reproductive mechanism.
Fisheries resources is also organic resources, therefore, we have to consider permanent utilization of them by applying the mechanism.
Pillage fisheries will extinguish not only fisheries resources but also fisheries themselves.

Fisheries Resources
Looking back the history on utilization and development of fisheries resources, the necessity of permanent utilization is quite obvious.
The major aim of fisheries resources conservation and management strategies is to make possible of permanent utilization of the resources.
We must grasp the strategies of fisheries resources conservation and management from three aspects.
The first aspect is a biological aspect, the second is a fisheries aspect, and the third is a economic aspect.

The first half of the curve draws an exponential growth in total body weight of fish and as maturity is reached the maximum biomass , and will be at Point X.
Beyond this point little growth occurs and natural mortality begins to set in.

The selectivity curve is influenced by mesh size whereby as mesh size decreases, the curve moves to the left resulting in a smaller-sized catch.
Increasing the mesh size shifts the curve to the right, thus yielding a larger-sized catch. To maximize a catch, mesh size targeting the desired individuals should be used.

Major information needed for fisheries resource management (ⅰ) Biological Information (ⅱ) Technical Information (ⅲ) Economic Information (ⅳ) Social Information and (ⅴ) Institutional Information
– Source: FAO, RAPA Rep., 1987/10 Information mentioned above is obtained from
many sources such as universities, extension agents and so on.
![Page 17: Fundamentals of Fisheries Resource Management Ramon Carcamo Fisheries Expert](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649e3c5503460f94b2e965/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
For the more effective use of sources of information and increasing supply to information, some possible approaches suggested are as follow:
(ⅰ) Increasing contact with fishermen by facilitating establishment of fishermen’s groups or organizations or by making greater use of extension agents.
(ⅱ) Improved communication between decision-makers and scientists through the establishment of consultative meetings etc.
![Page 18: Fundamentals of Fisheries Resource Management Ramon Carcamo Fisheries Expert](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649e3c5503460f94b2e965/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
For the more effective use of sources of information:
(ⅲ) Better coordination between fisheries statistical services and other government agencies.
(ⅳ) Integrating the collection of economic and social data into catch assessment surveys.
![Page 19: Fundamentals of Fisheries Resource Management Ramon Carcamo Fisheries Expert](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649e3c5503460f94b2e965/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
For the more effective use of sources of information:
(ⅴ) Development and testing of surrogate-indicators for detailed information (e.g., changes in shares paid for labour or in lease fees for vessels as indicators of health of fisheries).
(ⅵ) Greater involvement of universities in multi-disciplinary fisheries research of direct relevance for decision-making.
(ⅶ) Improved contacts between private fishing industry and
fishery administrators.
(ⅷ) Others.

Possible Measures for Fisheries Management (Closed Season)
During this period Fishing activities are prohibited To protect spawning adults during the
spawning season Or To rehabilitate depleted stocks
![Page 46: Fundamentals of Fisheries Resource Management Ramon Carcamo Fisheries Expert](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649e3c5503460f94b2e965/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Possible Measures for Fisheries Management (Closed Area)
An area/habitat is closed to fishing activities, For example, to protect spawning grounds or
juveniles This does not affect fishing effort It can be relocated to other areas But it can limit its effectiveness on fishing
effort
![Page 47: Fundamentals of Fisheries Resource Management Ramon Carcamo Fisheries Expert](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649e3c5503460f94b2e965/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Possible Measures for Fisheries Management (Fishing Gear and Methods)
Certain types of fishing gear will be prohibited
Also the number of fishing gear will be restricted on this scheme
Mesh size restriction for certain fishing gear is also one of the popular measures
![Page 48: Fundamentals of Fisheries Resource Management Ramon Carcamo Fisheries Expert](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649e3c5503460f94b2e965/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Possible Measures for Fisheries Management (Size Limit)
On the fishing and selling of fish Under a set size limit must be prohibited For conserving the resources Fish caught less than a set size limit It must be released into the sea At good condition.
![Page 49: Fundamentals of Fisheries Resource Management Ramon Carcamo Fisheries Expert](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649e3c5503460f94b2e965/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Possible Measures for Fisheries Management (Fishing Sub-gear)
Fishing sub-gear such as fish luring (aggregative) lamp
It is sometimes restricted of its electric power Intensity of the lamps tends to be strengthened
gradually in order to get more catches But intensity of lamps is strengthened,
catchability is not improved so much Regulations regarding such fishing sub-gear is
necessary to avoid excessive competitions among fishermen.
![Page 50: Fundamentals of Fisheries Resource Management Ramon Carcamo Fisheries Expert](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649e3c5503460f94b2e965/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Possible Measures for Fisheries Management (Total Catch by Species)
Stemming from the international law of the sea, as of November 1993, a country may set a total allowable catch (TAC) of the total catch by species as its upper limit.
Other countries, therefore, may only catch the difference between the TAC and actual catches, thus limiting the catches beyond the TAC.
Catch quota system is also one of the methods of restriction of the catches.
![Page 51: Fundamentals of Fisheries Resource Management Ramon Carcamo Fisheries Expert](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649e3c5503460f94b2e965/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Possible Measures for Fisheries Management (Boat and Operation)
Capacity for Number of Fishing Boats and Duration of Fishing Operations
Many fishing activities are regulated by a licensing system
This is direct control on the level of exploitation Because, catches can be significantly increased
when there is an increase in efficiency and operation frequencies
