Podcasts about fish stocks

Global tuna fisheries are facing mounting pressure from overfishing, bycatch, and unsustainable fishing practices. Gala Moreno from the International Seafood Sustainability Foundation (ISSF) shares her expert insights on the current state of tuna populations and the urgent need for sustainable solutions. She explains how ISSF is collaborating with fishers, policymakers, and scientists to create strategies that protect tuna stocks while supporting the fishing industry. From improving fishing gear to implementing science-based management, Gala provides a clear picture of what it takes to maintain a healthy balance between conservation and commercial interests. One of the most fascinating parts of the conversation is Gala's insight into Fish Aggregating Devices (FADs). She breaks down how these devices work to attract fish, the environmental risks they pose, and the innovative strategies being developed to minimize their impact — including non-entangling and biodegradable FADs. Gala also discusses the exciting advancements in acoustic technology that are helping fishers identify tuna species more accurately, reducing bycatch and improving fishing efficiency. This episode offers a powerful look at the intersection of science, policy, and industry in protecting one of the ocean's most valuable resources. Gala's expertise highlights the importance of collaboration and data-driven decision-making in shaping the future of sustainable tuna fisheries. Whether you're passionate about marine conservation or simply curious about where your seafood comes from, this conversation is packed with valuable insights.

In 2009, the European Union banned the import and sale of all seal products, including oil, meat and pelts. The ban was largely inspired by the constant messaging of animal rights groups who wanted to end the seal hunt. But now, some scientists are re-considering the wisdom of the ban, because seal populations are exploding. Sven-Gunnard Lunneryd is a researcher in the department of aquatic resources at the Swedish University for Agrucultural Sciences. He spoke with the CBC's Leigh Anne Power.

A new study analyzed all 230 commercial stocks in Canada to see what drives overall stock health. Some of this same data shows that fish stocks that are doing better than expected. Laurenne Schiller, a Liber Ero post-doctoral fellow at Dalhousie, one of the universities involved in the study, spoke to Jeff about some of the positive results seen in the study.

Andrew Lewin discusses how the UK government is setting catch limits for fish populations above what scientific advice recommends. He explains the importance of following scientific advice to ensure sustainable fishing practices and prevent overfishing. Andrew also highlights the negative consequences of ignoring scientific advice, using the example of the collapse of the cod fishery in Canada. He emphasizes the need for governments to prioritize conservation and make decisions based on the best available science.

The host highlights the example of the Canadian government's mismanagement of cod stocks, which led to the collapse of the fishery and devastating consequences for the fishing community. Despite the advice of fishery scientists, the government continued to set catch limits above the recommended levels, resulting in a depletion of the population. The host emphasizes that following scientific advice and setting conservative catch limits is crucial to prevent overfishing and maintain healthy fish populations. The recent case of the UK government setting catch limits above scientific advice is also mentioned, with conservationists challenging the government's actions in court. The host argues that ignoring scientific advice and setting higher catch limits undermines conservation efforts and puts fish stocks at risk. It is suggested that governments should work with the fishing community to find a balance between sustainable fishing practices and livelihoods, while prioritizing the long-term health of fish populations. Overall, the episode emphasizes the need for governments to prioritize scientific advice and take proactive measures to protect and sustain fish stocks.

Brian Morrison has over 20 years of direct experience researching and providing advice on the state of Lake Ontario's salmon stocks. His knowledge of the different historic and present fishes in the lake is impressive, which is why Brian is our guest on The Blue fish Radio show. Brian speaks with host Lawrence Gunther about wild and hatchery fishes in Lake Ontario, how science and policy have fallen out of step, and what it means for the angling community.

UN to convene next week to evaluate management of fish stocks.

Climate change threatens fish stocks in the Pacific.

Conservation groups have criticised next year's fishing quotas. The Government described this week's agreement with the EU on how much fish can be caught in UK waters as ‘a further £282 million in fishing opportunities' and the National Federation of Fishermen's Organisations were pleased that quotas had been increased after fish stocks improved - for instance cod is up 160 per cent. However some marine conservation groups, like Blue Marine, say scientific advice is being ignored and 28 per cent of fish stocks are still being over-fished. During the pandemic, people in one village in Wiltshire set up a community group in a cafe, handing out food, offering help and friendship. When lockdown ended and the cafe needed its premises back, the volunteers moved to the village hall; when the village needed its hall back, they moved to the Scout hut; when the Scouts needed their hut back they decided they really needed a place of their own - and now they've got a new HQ, on a double decker bus. The charity - Positive Community Action will now take a mobile food bank and friendship cafe to rural areas. A new study says it's more cost effective for farmers to concentrate food production on some land and dedicate other areas to wildlife and biodiversity. There's long been a debate as to which is the most effective - land sharing or land sparing. Land sharing is where farmers make space for nature alongside farming. Land sparing is where they farm some areas and leave other land solely for nature. Research from Cambridge, Glasgow and Leeds universities says its more cost effective to pay farmers to create woodland and wetlands on some land and concentrate food production elsewhere.

Esri Ireland, the market leader in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), is announcing that its digital mapping system is being used by Inland Fisheries Ireland and the sea angling community in Ireland to help safeguard fish populations and protect marine ecosystems. Esri's ArcGIS system supports the Irish Marine Recreational Angling Survey (IMREC) which aims to estimate sea anglers' catches in Ireland. Up to 250,000 recreational sea anglers are active along the 3,000km of Irish coastline annually. Inland Fisheries Ireland is Ireland's state agency for protecting, managing and conserving inland fisheries and sea angling resources. To meet its EU data collection requirements around species, locations, and volumes of fish caught annually in European waters, Inland Fisheries Ireland saw a need for a collaborative approach to collate its own data with self-reporting by recreational sea anglers. Turning anglers into citizen scientists, Esri's Survey123 app has transformed reporting and enables anglers around Ireland to gather and upload real-time information from any device about the fish they catch and release. This information is then automatically transferred to a shared repository, called ArcGIS Hub, where it can be easily viewed by the anglers and monitored by Inland Fisheries Ireland to identify patterns in the species distribution, volumes and weight of fish caught, and estimated catch rates. Whether they are shore anglers, small boat anglers or charter boat anglers, each member has access to a personalised dashboard where they can track their own contributions and angling successes. Inland Fisheries Ireland has greater control over and confidence in the accuracy and consistency of the data collected, and the system encourages anglers to play an active role in helping to conserve Ireland's fish stocks. Data is aggregated for reporting and the system minimises manual data entry, is scalable and can grow with the scheme. The EU is particularly interested in data on cod, pollock, sharks, rays, sea bass and highly migratory species such as tuna, but the solution can be configured to capture data on other species too, giving Inland Fisheries Ireland flexibility for the future. The state agency had success recently using Esri's ArcGIS system to enable accurate reporting for a catch, tag and release programme for the critically endangered Atlantic bluefin tuna. William Roche, Senior Research Officer at Inland Fisheries Ireland: “ArcGIS will enable us to recruit anglers as citizen scientists and crowdsource the large volume of data that we require for EU and national reporting. With more anglers collecting data, we will be able to build up a better picture of the state of fish stocks off Ireland's coast, particularly for anglers. “The personalised dashboards will help to make the recording of data a habitual activity for anglers. We hope they will enjoy entering their catch data and take pride in their role as observers and stewards of Ireland's fish stocks.” Schalk Van Lill, Customer Success Manager, Esri Ireland: “We are delighted to work with Inland Fisheries Ireland on this project and enable the ongoing monitoring and safeguarding of fish populations. Our GIS solution has provided Inland Fisheries Ireland with a feasible and affordable way to capture additional data to complement the other data collected for the EU. “Citizen science like this provides broad spatial coverage all around the coastline of Ireland, enabling Inland Fisheries Ireland to efficiently comply with requirements. The solution can be easily scaled up to accept data uploads from more and more participants, allowing Inland Fisheries Ireland to expand the scheme over time.” See more stories here.
