AdriaMed Expert Consultation Interactions between capture fisheries and aquaculture Rome, Italy 5 - 7 November 2003 1 st Coordination Committee (2000) Importance of responsible aquaculture Organization of an Expert Consultation FAO Code of Conduct 3rd GFCM - CAQ 28 th GFCM

AdriaMed Expert Consultation Interactions between capture fisheries and aquaculture General overview The general principles - the methodological framework of the Consultation were based on: CF and A have the objective of producing aquatic products for human consumption (CCRF) CF and A are part of the same system and specific recommendations must be given within a global approach in which the different dimensions of fisheries (Governance, Ecological, Economic and Social) are taken into consideration. The national contributions provided background information of the aquaculture sector in the Adriatic countries and permitted to highlight the more relevant topics on the relationships between CF and A The discussion on thematic area (market interaction ; quality and certification of fishery products CF and A; blue fin tuna fishing and farming in the Adriatic sea)permitted the discussion on specific issues on interaction between CF and A using a systemic approach.

AdriaMed Expert Consultation Interactions between capture and fisheries aquaculture Aims to achieve a comprehensive description and analysis of the aquaculture sector in the countries which border the Adriatic Sea to acquire the tools to improve the knowledge on the relationships between fisheries and aquaculture in the area to explore the main issues dealing with interactions between aquaculture and capture fisheries using the existing knowledge

AdriaMed Expert Consultation Interactions between capture fisheries and aquaculture Table IV. Dimension: Social Interaction between aquaculture and capture fisheries New employment opportunities (i.e tuna farming) VI.a Employmentincome opportunity VI.b Use of coastal areas Water surfaces dedicated to aquaculture activities not available for small scale fisheries Criteria to identify reliable indicators Number of fishers involved in capture fisheries and aquaculture Number of hectarer dedicated to aquaculture and number of hactares dedicated to fisheries, in the coastal zone Action Tools Development of opportunities of reconversion /income integration of fishers to aquaculture activities Development of integrated coastal zone management plan

AdriaMed Expert Consultation Interactions between capture fisheries and aquaculture Table Methodological contribution to the identification of the list of reliable indicator to be monitored Basic element to address research and monitoring programmes towards the study of relationships between capture fisheries and aquaculture The structural approach and the content of the table proposed is considered as a first step of a work in progress. Useful check list for further explanation and development The use of these indicators allow support to be given to the decision-makers in management strategy and in assessing progress towards sustainable development of the sector

The positive and negative interactions between capture fisheries and aquaculture must be considered in the context of integrated coastal zone management by the Countries The establishment of national programmes and international cooperation for research activities dealing with the interaction between capture fisheries and aquaculture would be useful in both marine and freshwater environments The implementation and the monitoring of the principles of the CCRF in many cases needs appropriate assessment on the interactions between capture fisheries and aquaculture In the Adriatic the possibility of developing pilot projects at sub regional level based on the enhancement of interactions between capture fisheries and aquaculture should be considered. Fishermen and farmers should consider the competitive opportunities that the positive interactions between capture fisheries and aquaculture can offer In the coastal zone management appropriate planning approaches to allocate resources (space, grants, loans) to capture fisheries and aquaculture especially in the case in which the relationships between capture fisheries and aquaculture contribute to the sustainable use of environmental resources must be followed Specific cases of interactions between capture fisheries and aquaculture such as tuna farming, wild fry collection, management of coastal lagoons, to be correctly address require a sound knowledge base and a decision making process based on the participation of the different stakeholders AdriaMed Expert Consultation Interactions between capture fisheries and aquaculture Recommendations

Traffic Light (TL): method to display indicator values making the related information available and easy to understand provides a way to evaluate temporal variation of indicator series and to compare the relevance of a wide range of inputs to the management process proposed as a precautionary management framework incorporating decision rules for management actions based on the current state of multiple indicators potentially powerful tool for developing, displaying and integrating technical information for fisheries management planning
9
According to the TL approach a judgment codified by a specific colour is assigned to every year in the time series of each indicator Boundary values can be set according to their percentile value in time series, e.g. value > 0.66 th percentile (positive judgment, green colour assigned); value 0.66 th - 0.33 rd (intermediate, yellow colour assigned); value < 0.33 rd percentile (negative judgment, red colour assigned). Good (positive) year > 0.66 th percentile Intermediate year 0.66 th –33 rd percentile Bad (negative) year < 0.33 rd percentile
10
Based on the colours code, the variations of each indicator can be highlighted and the associated information (i.e. good, intermediate or warning state) made available to set objectives and decision rules in a fisheries management framework
