22-17 Managing Fishing Gear To Encourage Ecosystem-Based Management Of Coral Reefs Fisheries Tim MCCLANAHAN* 1 , Josh CINNER 2 , Joseph MAINA 3 , Carlos RUIZ SEBASTIAN 4 , Shaun WILSON 5 , Nick GRAHAM 5 1 Marine Programs, Wildlife Conservation Society, Mombasa, Kenya, 2 Marine Biology, James Cook University, Townsville, Australia, 3 CRCP, Mombasa, Kenya, 4 CRCP, Durban, Australia, 5 Marine Science, University of Newcastle, Newcastle, United Kingdom We present data from two poor tropical countries, Papua New Guinea and Kenya, and show that there is a unique and consistent partitioning of the capture of species and functional groups by gear that can be used to potentially influence ecological processes and biodiversity on coral reefs that can also respond to disturbances such as coral bleaching. Hook and line capture a higher proportion of top carnivores/piscivores and target species with low susceptibility to coral bleaching. Traps and spear guns capture mostly herbivores/ominvores and target the highest proportion and number of fish species that are moderately susceptible to the impacts of coral bleaching. Nets mainly target carnivores/invertivores. The use of specific gear can be actively managed to encourage the recovery of select functional groups and adaptively managed under conditions such as high erect algae cover, sea urchin dominance, low coral cover, and coral bleaching. We present a simulation and conceptual model that examines projected effects of the gear and effort on the yields and ecological processes in the coral reef ecosystem and suggest mechanism for how this model might be practically implemented. 22-18 Evaluation Of Alternative Management Strategies For The Eastern Torres Strait Reef Line Fishery Ashley WILLIAMS* 1 , Rich LITTLE 2 , Gavin BEGG 3 1 Fishing and Fisheries Research Centre, School of Earth & Environmental Sciences, James Cook University, Townsville, Australia, 2 Marine and Atmospheric Research, CSIRO, Hobart, Australia, 3 Australian Fisheries Management Authority, Canberra, Australia Commercial harvest of coral reef fish in the eastern Torres Strait (ETS), Australia is shared between Torres Strait Islanders and non-indigenous fishers, but to date no formal assessment of the fishery has been done, and no resource allocation or management strategies directed at the special circumstances in the Torres Strait currently exist. Here, we evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of a range of alternative management strategies related to the harvest and conservation of coral trout (Plectropomus leopardus), the primary target species in the ETS Reef Line Fishery (RLF). We worked with Islander and non-indigenous commercial fishers and fisheries managers to identify specific stakeholder objectives and feasible alternative management strategies to pursue them. We used a meta-population and harvest simulation model (ELFSim) to assess the combined effects of four regimes of effort control, three minimum legal size regimes and two area and two seasonal closure regimes on the status of coral trout, and compared their likelihoods of meeting conservation and fishery objectives. Results of simulations indicated that a two-month seasonal closure was a good measure for addressing conservation objectives, but tended to reduce the ability to satisfy fishery objectives. Similarly, closing areas to fishing and increasing the minimum legal size were generally good strategies for conservation objectives, but performed poorly for fishery objectives. Lowering effort was the more robust strategy for achieving both conservation and fishery objectives. This research provides a framework for the impartial evaluation of the performance of alternative management options to meet diverse and often competing objectives of stakeholders in the ETS RLF. Oral Mini-Symposium 22: Coral Reef Associated Fisheries 22-19 The Status Of The Artisanal Seine Net Fishery in Rodrigues Over A 5-Year Period Emily HARDMAN* 1 , Alasdair EDWARDS 2 , Jovani RAFFIN 1 1 Shoals Rodrigues, Rodrigues, Mauritius, 2 Division of Biology, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom The seine net fishery is of great socio-economic importance to Rodrigues, with landings making a significant contribution to the total catch (42% of lagoon fish catches). Fishing activities however, appear to be impacting on fish stocks and catches have declined significantly between 1994 and 1997. An assessment of the status of the fishery commenced in 2002 and 5 years of data have now been obtained. Working in collaboration with 4 fishing teams during the seine net open season, the total length of each individual caught was determined. Over the 5-year period a total of 68,013 fish were measured. The data show that the Catch per Unit Effort and mean monthly earnings per fisher have declined significantly during this 5 year period. Although the fishery is highly multi-species with 122 species recorded, 80% of the fish landed were from 10 species, most of which are herbivores or small invertebrate feeders. The most important species during all years was the Rabbitfish, Siganus sutor. There has however been a change in species composition of the catch over the 5 year period with species such as Naso unicornis decreasing in abundance, whereas small species such as Acanthurus triostegus and Gerres longirostris increased in importance. The modal length of S. sutor, Lethrinus nebulosus and Caranx melampygus has decreased between 2002 and 2006 and over 60% of fish were caught before they reached maturity. The data indicate that the fishery has become dominated by small, herbivorous fish and that serious recruitment overfishing is occurring for some species. As a result, 4 marine reserves have now been proclaimed in Rodrigues in order to allow fish stocks to recover and to promote sustainability of fisheries in the Rodrigues lagoon. 22-20 Coral Reef Fisheries For The Future? Know The Historic Baseline Dirk ZELLER* 1 , Shawn BOOTH 1 , Roxanne DICKINSON 2 , Lou FROTTÉ 3 1 Fisheries Centre, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada, 2 Stanford University, Stanford, CA, 3 Insitut National Polytechnique de Toulouse, Castanet, France Small-scale fisheries in the tropical Pacific are important culturally and for food security, yet remain extensively under-reported in national statistics which inform global data presented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). This contributes substantially to the undervaluation of their importance to communities, both socio-politically as well as economically. We present historic baseline catch reconstructions for the 1950-2004 period for 20 small island countries in the tropical Pacific. The reconstruction approach develops estimates of likely total catch using all available information sources, including grey literature and localised case-studies, combined with conservative assumptions, expansions and interpolations. The reconstruction suggests that unreported catches over this time period were at least equal to reported catches, but range as high as a 17-fold discrepancy. Important also is that for several countries the time series reverses from an increasing to a declining trend over time. This is likely due to localised overfishing, as well as changing consumption patterns in an era of generally high population growth rates and increasing population centralization. The discrepancy in national and hence FAO statistics is primarily driven by consistent underrepresentation of non-commercial (subsistence) catches in most of the island countries. While reliable yearly estimates are expensive and difficult to obtain, and are the prime reason for incomplete catch accounting by many counties, the fundamental importance of these catches to food security, especially under increasing climate change stresses cannot be underestimated. Regular, albeit non-annual, country-wide estimates of total catches should be undertaken as a priority activity by all countries, interpolated for intervening years, and included in national data reported to FAO. Due to financial and human resource limitations, such work should be facilitated or undertaken by regional agencies, e.g., the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC). 187
22-21 Applying An Optimal Resource Space Concept To Small Scale Reef Fisheries Management Lydia TEH* 1 , Louise TEH 1 1 Fisheries Centre, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada Fishers operate according to an optimal resource space whose boundaries are defined by economic profitability, technological sophistication, and socio-cultural preferences. These 'invisible' boundaries can affect fishers’ willingness to comply with, and ability to adapt to spatial restrictions. Better understanding of the factors that shape optimal resource spaces can thus lead to management decisions that are more aligned with fishers’ perspectives and have a higher likelihood of being complied with and adopted. We investigate the coral reef fisheries of Pulau Banggi, Sabah, Malaysia, where a marine protected area is proposed. Our objectives are i) map fishers’ optimal resource space; ii) explain ecological, socio-cultural, and economic factors that influence fishers’ optimal resource space; and iii) apply optimal resource space concept to spatial management of small scale reef fisheries. We use data from fish catch logbooks to track the fishing activities of 21 fishers. We conducted semi-structured interviews with fishers to explore factors that dictate their resource use space, including market forces, fishers’ motivations and perceived constraints. We find that fishers function within an optimal resource space that is delineated by socio-cultural factors such as family ties, and distance from resident village. Even though fishers are aware of locations where they perceive more fish can be caught, they rarely fish those places. While Banggi fishers face invisible boundaries that restrict them to habituated fishing grounds, outsider fishers do not face such restrictions and are not prevented from exploiting Banggi’s open access fisheries. The optimal resource space concept can be applied towards analyzing user conflict, compliance, and equity issues. In the context of marine protected areas, it can help in designing spatial management strategies that are socially acceptable and ecologically sustainable to fisheries and fishing communities. 22-22 Improving Management Of Coral Reef Fisheries in Data Limited Situations: Experiences From The Parfish Methodology Robert WAKEFORD* 1 , Suzannah WALMSLEY 2 , Robert TRUMBLE 1 , Paul MEDLEY 3 1 MRAG Americas, Inc., Saint Petersburg, FL, 2 MRAG Ltd., London, United Kingdom, 3 Independent Consultant, Alne, United Kingdom Coral reef fisheries are complex systems. This is due primarily to the multi-species, multi-gear and high labour mobility that often occurs within the fisheries sector. Since many small-scale fisheries operate in remote areas and/ or in developing coastal states, the quality and quantity of data necessary to undertake basic fisheries management, including robust stock assessments, are often lacking. However, it is becoming more widely acknowledged that local stakeholder participation is an essential pre-requisite to improve overall management of the resource, but this has rarely engaged them directly within a stock assessment framework to provide information on the status of the resource. This study presents a summary and comparison of three pilot studies undertaken in Turks and Caicos, Tanzania and Puerto Rico that have been used to demonstrate a new fisheries management tool that enables stakeholders to participate directly in the stock assessment process. Through the development of a participatory fish stock assessment (ParFish) methodology, fishers are engaged at the beginning of the management process to contribute their valuable knowledge about the fishery. Using a Bayesian statistical model, information obtained from fishers help inform prior statistical distributions that are used to estimate parameters in the stock assessment model. The results have shown that this approach can be used successfully to establish preliminary estimates of stock status in data limited situations. Oral Mini-Symposium 22: Coral Reef Associated Fisheries 22-23 Effectiveness Of Minimum Legal Size As A Fisheries Management Tool in A Multi- Sectoral Reef Fishery Sara BUSILACCHI* 1,2 , Gavin BEGG 3 , Ashley WILLIAMS 2 1 School of Marine and Tropical Biology, James Cook University, Townsville, Australia, 2 Fishing and Fisheries Centre, School of Earth and Environmental Science, James Cook University, Townsville, Australia, 3 Australian Fisheries Management Authority, Canberra, Australia Minimum legal size (MLS) is one of the oldest and most widely accepted management tools in fisheries and is usually based on the mean length at which 50% of a population become mature. The effectiveness of a MLS depends on a range of factors including the biology of the species, fishing behaviour, fishing gear, post-release survival, other management arrangements and compliance. In this presentation we assess the effectiveness of MLS’s when applied to manage two of three sectors in a multi-sectoral fishery. The reef finfish fishery in Torres Strait, Australia, is shared among three sectors: an indigenous subsistence sector and two commercial sectors (an indigenous and a non-indigenous). In an effort to retain its cultural value, the subsistence sector is currently not regulated. However, the two commercial sectors are managed by numerous regulations including a MLS for the commercially important species. It is normal practice within indigenous communities for subsistence fishing to occur during commercial fishing trips, even though this is inconsistent with legislation. Subsistence catch taken during commercial fishing trips was monitored between May 2005 and May 2006 using an access point survey in three Torres Strait communities. We estimated that, on average, 22% of the total catch taken during commercial trips is used for subsistence. Coral trouts (Plectropomus spp.), carangids and snappers (Lutjanus spp.) were the most retained species for subsistence and were also the most commercially important. Results showed that, for some of these species, undersize fish (less than the MLS) represented 80% of the subsistence catch taken during commercial fishing trips. We conclude that the effectiveness of this management tool relies on the understanding of its rationale and its acceptance by indigenous communities. 22-24 Bias Of Cpue Revealed By Considering Fisheries As Predator Prey Systems Meaghan C. DARCY* 1 , Steven JD MARTELL 2 1 Zoology / Fisheries Center, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada, 2 Fisheries Center, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada The Hawaiian bottomfish fishery is a multi-species fishery, where the target species (mainly eteline snappers and one grouper species) are associated with deep reef structures and are caught using handlines. This fishery exemplifies many reef associated, multi-species fisheries, where the fishing gear simultaneously captures multiple species. Assessment of status for each species is based on effort-aggregated commercial catch statistics and single-species assessment models. Aggregation of these data assumes that the capture probabilities and targeting of each species are constant over time and those species-specific catches per unit effort (CPUE) indices are proportional to abundance. Using single-species assessment models with effort-aggregated data may be problematic because the assumption of proportionality is likely to be violated due to changes in targeting and or changes in species composition and changes in fishing technologies. To account for species composition effects in the multi-species fisheries, we develop an effort dynamics sub-model that partitions the total effort into components of handling time and time spent searching (i.e., Holling’s Disc equation). It explicitly allows for handling time influences and the differences in catchability among target and non-target species. We tested this approach using stochastic simulation-estimation experiments, where the dynamics of individual fish populations that make up a multi-species fishery and typical fisheries dependent data (i.e., species specific catch data and aggregate effort data). Simulation results demonstrate that increased handling time leads to a hyperstable index of abundance (i.e., catchability declines less rapidly than biomass) which would lead to overestimates of abundance in the classic singlespecies assessments. Ignoring handling time effects for fisheries such as, handline fisheries, where a large component of effort includes gear set-up and retrieval and removal of catch from the gear, results in biased abundance estimates. 188
