Mapping of sensitive habitats is required for applying special management measures:
Aimed at reducing ecosystem impacts of e.g. Deep sea fishing on fragile ecosystems (VMEs assessments)

1. Workflow management for fishery and scientific data collected on Board fishing vessels, e.g. by-catch species identified by Observers on Board fishing vessels • FLUX and FishFrame support
2. Modeling of species geographic distribution, • Application of Predictive mapping models,
such as developed by Aquamaps

Synergies and efficiencies through Global collaboration & CoP
Synergies – a case study
• In fisheries monitoring, attention is brought to: – By-catch species: Associated, discarded, protected
– Species which are indicators of fragile habitats (e.g. VME encounters)
• Species identification guides are being developed at regional / national level – Local efforts would benefit from collated knowledge
Chondrichthyes (class), Scombridae (family), Lutjanus spp (genus)
Condrycthiens (vs. Chondrichthyes)
P. notialis (vs. Penaeus notialis)
Pomadasydés, Sparidae (Pageot), Penaeus sp, langouste, seiche
Farfantepenaeus notialis (deprecated) vs. Penaeus notialis (official)
• Issue: many species names are reported, with variations and errors
iMarine Extended Board meeting, 16-17 October, FAO (Rome)
40
Synergies – a case study:
• Taxa name matching / mapping – Names validation through cross-referencing
with glo bal taxonomic databases
– Capturing mappings between local expressions and authority lists
• Fisheries Linked Open Data (FLOD) – Organizing concepts and terms in
comprehensive ontologies available as Linked Open Data
• Comprehensive knowledge bases on: – Species vernacular / multilingual names
– broad range of species information
• contributing to fill the gap of knowledge
Cross-fertilization opportunities between fisheries sciences and bio-ecological sciences

• Species focused information disseminated through mobile applications, for use by anyone at consumer places
– Requires capacity to integrate multiple / complementary sources
– Efficiency will rely on broad knowledge base on species names, combined with GPS information of Mobile user

Elements of synergies
– Various Business Cases complement each other: – End-up building comprehensive toolkit required for entire flow from
raw data collection to policy indicators
– Data produced by A. are inputs to B. – all accessible from same environment
– Tools are pooled and can be reused across different communities having similar needs, and enriched
– Exchange among disciplines enhance quality
– Bridge MCS data with science (confidentiality requirements)
Elements of efficiencies
– Partner systems tend to specialize on their strength and delegate to others
