Case Study on Eastern Caribbean Flyingfish (Hirundichthysaffinis) Fishery Completed By The Caribbean Regional Fisheries Mechanism
PRESENTATION LAYOUT Some Fishery Notes Case Study – General Objectives Case Study Objectives & Results for TDA & SAP components Lessons Learned for TDA & SAP components Best Practices for TDA & SAP References (Reports produced) A Collection of Major Publications
Most important small pelagic fishery in southern eastern Caribbean (Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, Martinique, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and Trinidad and Tobago) Early fishery landings in 1950s were ~<1000 t, increased to peak of just under 5000 t in late 1980s. Recently, annual landings estimated at 2,000-2,500 t expanding fleet capacity has raised concern about overfishing directed fishery, part of a multi-species, multi-gear fishery, which also targets regional large pelagic species tagging & genetic studies: single stock of four-wing flyingfish in southeastern Caribbean Some Fishery Notes
growing longline fisheries for large pelagics use flyingfish for bait flyingfish - important component of pelagic food web Dolphinfish & other predators - particularly vulnerable to any substantial decrease in flyingfish abundance negative impact of land based human activities on the health of marine ecosystem and fishery resources Some Fishery Notes : ecosystem linkages
Case Study – General Objectives • to fill important knowledge gaps that will contribute to the final TDA, and • to inform the development of the SAP and the CLME management and governance framework which will include priority actions for the sustainability of the Eastern Caribbean flyingfish fishery.
