Hello Ladies & Gentlemen! In collaboration with our brilliant Social Media Volunteers, we created a series of informational graphics on sustainable fisheries. Today’s graphic focuses on sustainability in fisheries.  While fisheries may have certain negative impacts on the environment and marine ecosystem, proper regulation of the industry can help reduce these cons to become a more sustainable industry. One way is to ensure that protected species such as turtles don’t get caught in the nets of the fishing industry’s highly favored method of catch, trawling. Turtle excluder devices, also known as TEDs, help prevent sea turtles that may get stuck in trawling nets and allow them to escape safely. They are made of metal bars and mesh that fit inside the net and have been 97 percent effective in reducing the amount of turtles that get caught in shrimp trawls.  Cetaceans, such as dolphins and whales, are also at risk of getting caught in commercial fishing gear that results in injury or death. One device that was introduced to reduce these instances is acoustic pingers. It works by emitting high frequency sounds that keep the animals away from fishing gear. They have proven to cause a reduction in bycatch of many cetacean species but could still use some improvements to be more effective in deterring dugongs, humpback whales, and bottlenose dolphins.  Another way of making fisheries most sustainable is by setting an annual catch limit. Monitoring annual catch levels helps reduce overfishing and allows for long-term biological sustainability. The recommended steps in this process include calculating the overfishing limit, recommending the acceptable biological catch, specifying the annual limit, and setting annual targets.  Certifications such as MSC and ASC are a great way to support the fight against overfishing.

Hello Ladies & Gentlemen! In collaboration with our brilliant Social Media Volunteers, we created a series of informational graphics on sustainable fisheries. Today’s graphic focuses on bycatch & trawling. Bycatch is the accidental catching of non-targeted species during commercial fishing operations. Bycatch could include non-target species, young fish, and protected species. It is a complicated issue that affects marine wildlife globally. Trawling is the act of towing a large net across the ocean floor with a boat to capture certain species of crabs or ground fish. The mesh net is designed to contain the fish inside the net as they reel it up to the surface. There are two different types of trawling, bottom trawling, which includes scraping the sea floor, and midwater trawling. Trawling has negative effects on other marine life in the ocean that are not the intended targets of catch. They can become entangled while foraging. Animals such as pilot whales, dolphins, and sea turtles are at high risk of being caught in bottom trawl; they may drown, get injured, or face stress and exhaustion from the capture and release. Trawling does not have to cease entirely, there are ways it can remain a sustainable approach to capturing fish. For instance, in the case of sea turtles, fisheries have introduced turtle exclusion devices which are a grid of bars with an opening near the end of the trawl net which allows for turtles to escape. This has greatly reduced turtle mortality rates in trawl fisheries. Trawling also does environmental damage to the ocean floor, damaging coral & delicate habitats. Some recommended methods to control this method of catching fish are to reduce the number of tows at night and reducing the duration of each tow.

Hello Ladies & Gentlemen! In collaboration with our brilliant Social Media Volunteers, we created a series of informational graphics on sustainable fisheries. Today’s graphic focuses on overfishing. Is it possible to overfish? The answer is yes, as abundant as the supply may seem, the overfishing of certain stocks of fish is very possible. Overfishing is defined as when too many of a certain type of fish is caught and there are not enough to breed and sustain the population. Overfishing is considered a global crisis which affects the fish on the market, but also can destabilize entire marine ecosystems. Overfishing is caused by several factors, one being the rising human consumption due to the rising population. Climate change is also a major reason for overfishing as ocean temperatures increase, fish will migrate different routes instead of the traditional fishing grounds. Fisheries will then continue to catch at the same level even though there is not as many fish in that area. There is also an overcapacity of fishing vessels in the waters that are getting larger as the pressure to keep up with demand grows. The impacts of overfishing are devastating if no action is taken to combat it. An estimated 36 million people are employed in the wild capture seafood sectors which means if the industry were to collapse, many people would lose their livelihoods. Overfishing can also affect biodiversity because many species of marine life rely on fish to survive, but it is also to be noted that overfishing can also cause accidental catching of other marine species such as sharks and turtles, known as bycatch. This is usually because of trawling, which is a popular way of catching fish which requires a large net that scrapes the bottom of the ocean in order to capture large groups of fish. In this method, other non-targets such as young fish and crustaceans are trapped and killed in the process.

Hello Ladies & Gentlemen! In collaboration with our brilliant Social Media Volunteers, we created a series of informational graphics on sustainable fisheries. Today’s graphic focuses on some of the most commonly caught commercial fish.  Peruvian anchoveta are found in the southeastern Pacific Ocean off Peru and Chile and are used to produce fishmeal and canned fish.  They are caught with a purse seine which is a large net that is deployed around an entire area of schools of fish. The Japanese Anchovy is another largely consumed anchovy that is also caught via a purse seine or by attracting them at night using powerful onboard lights on ships to gather them into a large mass.  Alaskan Pollock is a member of the cod family and resides in the North Pacific Ocean and Bering Sea. Skipjack and Yellowfin Tuna are obtained by pole and line fishing, which is the traditional method of catching the fish one by one, or by longlines, a commercialized method that involves a long main line with several baited hooks.  The Atlantic Herring is another type of fish that is also caught with a purse seine and can also be caught by mid-water trawling, a method that involves a large cone-shaped net that is towed through the open ocean with a boat. The Chub and Chilean Jack Mackerel are also caught using the same methods as the Herring and they can also be caught recreationally by using Sabiki rigs, which is a fishing line with several hooks that contain several attractors such as feathers or fish skin.  The Largehead Hairtail is a cutlassfish that are commonly captured using seines or by bottom trawling, which is the act of dragging a large net across the ocean floor.
