Simple indicatorsFisheries management is not working:• Top-down control• Informed solely by info. from fisheries biology• Complex, costly, largely incomprehensible
Simple indicators:• Reflect condition of fishery• Rely on low-cost observations• Can be accepted and applied by stakeholders and public• Conform to “Pressure, State, Response” framework
7
“Let them spawn!”
• Indicator: Percentage of mature fish in catch (target = 100%)
• Response: Fish ruler demarcating minimum length for mature fish
8
PSR Framework
PRESSURE
Recruitment Overfishing
(the taking of immature fish)
STATE
Percent mature fish in catch
tool: fish-ruler
RESPONSE
“Let Them Spawn!”
awareness campaign
Tool: fish-ruler
9
WP 7 Objectives
• Identify suitable indicators
• Establish parameters needed for indicators for all relevant species/fisheries
• Test management by indicators with stakeholders and public
• Analyze progress and problems
10
WP 7 Deliverables• Review of existing indicators and selection of
suitable, simple indicators (Month 7)
• Database to make available the parameters needed for application of indicators (Month 13)
• Web-tool to assist in the application of indicators(Month 19)
• Test of indicators with real-world fisheries and stakeholders—final report (Month 34)
• The Big 5
11
WP 7 Milestones
• 1st Workshop (now)
• 2nd Workshop (Month 20)
WP7 Meeting Outcomes

Agreed-upon criteriaIndicators should be:1. Observable by stakeholders, either directly or
through a transparent process2. Understandable3. Acceptable by fishers and public at large4. Efficient and within economic resources for
research on a sustained basis5. Related to management and have responding
management measures (PSR framework)6. Valid—e.g. accurately reflecting the state of the
resource
15
Selected Indicators:Indicator Required Data Possible responses
1
% of mature fish in catch(goal 100%)
Mean length in pop. or mixed fishery
Lm (also eventually length where 90-100% are mature)
length frequency of catch
Promote capture of mature fish through Fish ruler and info sheet for fish traders
2% of ‘optimum’ size in catch(goal 100%)
Length-frequencies from catch or surveys
Length-weight relationship for species
Same as above
3
% “mega spawners” in catch (% size above optimum length plus 10%) (goal 0%)
Mean max. length in pop or mixed fishery
Length-frequencies from catch and surveys
MPAsCampaign “Let Megaspawners live”Only catch cohorts after 1st and before 2nd spawning
4
% Bycatch in total catchPossibly “charismatic” spp.
in bycatchBycatch biomass by fishery
Awareness/“propaganda”
campaign
16
Probable target fisheries:Galapagos: Lobsters, Sea Cucumbers
Peru Hake, Lumptail Searobin, Peruvian Rock Seabass, Peruvian Banded Croaker
Scotland Haddock, Whiting, Nephrops, Squid,
Some Portuguese species?
Thailand Prawns, some fish
Nicaragua Littoral demersals, Lobsters?
Baltic Maybe Zander, Perch, Herring?
17
Next Steps:• Each member to assemble data necessary to
apply indicators to his/her fisheries for web portal(L-F, maturity, bycatch)Deadline: Month 13 (Next March/April)
• Start thinking about response implementation
• Keep in touch with other WPs re their indicators—can we draw correlations?
18
General RemarksEasy part is first: The harder part is in implementation– most of the concerns among WP members and others concerned approaches to using indicators in mgmt.
We will mostly collaborate with other WP indicator-related objectives in relation to and combination with our selected indicators and overfishing– we’re not an indicator clearinghouse.
