1999 ‘Threat Abatement Plan for the incidental catch (or by-catch) of seabirds during oceanic longline fishing operations’ for Australia’s AFZ
   
In New Zealand, the planned approach for measuring mortality of albatross species in longline operations is to record the number of incidental seabird mortalities rather than catch rate per hooks or tows

Data required

The following is from Fulton et al 2004a -

...

Should be applicable to all marine ecosystems.

Identified capability

Is there any additional information that would be of interest in regards to the identified capability?

Otherwise can leave this section blank and just fill in the table instead.

Biological classification level

Is there any additional information that would be of interest in regards to the biological classification?

Otherwise can leave this section blank and just fill in the table instead.

Response variable

Is there any additional information that would be of interest in regards to the response variable?

Otherwise can leave this section blank and just fill in the table instead.

Drivers

Is there any additional information that would be of interest in regards to ecological drivers?

If not can leave this section blank and just fill in the table instead.

Robustness

The following is from Fulton et al 2004a -

...

where Nmin is the minimum population estimate of the stock, ½ R max is one-half the maximum theoretical or estimated net productivity rate of the stock at a small population size, and Fr  is a recovery factor between 0.1 and 1.(Wade 1998). An example of the use of PBR in a fishery can be found in New Zealand, where threshold limits for the bycatch of the endemic New Zealand sea lion Phocarctos hookeri, (one of the world’s rarest pinnipeds) in the arrow squid fishery have been set at 63 individuals of any age or sex class or 32 females per annum. These numbers were based on 1993 USA/NMFS fisheries guidelines, which state that a population must not fall below its maximum net productivity level. Where that level for marine mammals is thought to be between 50% and 85% carrying capacity (Wade 1998).

Management strategies and/or objectives

define a standard set of management objectives?? ie from Indiseas

  • Conservations biodiversity
  • Ecosystem stability and resistance to perturbations
  • ecosystem structure and functioning
  • resource potential

has it been used in a management strategy? if so how?

relationship to management strategies/ objectives

Stakeholder/public acceptability

Acceptability with stakeholders

  • by all stakeholder
  • by the public
  • understandable to the stakeholders

Hyperlinks to organisations, databases, webportals, and ID books, that are associated with this indicator, if appropriate.
