MARINE FISH

Status of marine fish stocks (CSI 032) - Assessment published Nov 2005 — EEA
2: State of commercial fish stocks in N E Atlantic and Baltic Sea in 2003-2004 (Ver.
3: State of commercial fish stocks in Mediterranean Sea up to 2004 (Ver.
Of the assessed stocks in the Baltic and West Ireland Seas, 22 and 29 %, respectively, are over-fished (33 % in the past) while 53 % of stocks in the Irish Sea remain outside SBL (past record held by West of Scotland at 60 %).
Almost all round fish stocks have declined and are currently not sustainable.
Pelagic and industrial species remain in better condition but still need to be subject to reduced fishing rates.
In the Mediterranean region, only two demersal and two small pelagic stocks are monitored by the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM), with a limited spatial coverage.
According to the latest assessment by the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) a strong recruitment of swordfish over recent years has rendered the exploitation of the stock sustainable.
Listed below are the main recommendations and actions taken by EU institutions and ICES to prevent collapse of different stocks: ICES recommends to ban cod fishing in the North Sea, Irish Sea and west of Scotland, and to develop recovery plans to rebuild the stocks, EU prohibited all fisheries in an area west of Scotland as of 1 January 2004, and established a cod protection area in the North Sea where vessels targeting haddock are not allowed to fish, European Commission proposed (March 2004) to adjust the area concerned accordingly and to change the percentages of haddock that can be caught by vessels not holding a special licence, European Commission tabled two proposals on long-term measures to help the recovery of sole stocks in the western Channel and Bay of Biscay, southern hake in the Cantabrian Sea and western Iberian Peninsula as well as plan for northern hake, ICES advises that fishing for deep-sea fish species should be permitted only when there are accompanying programmes to collect appropriate data.

So for those who are tired of 'trolling' the World Wide Web here are some tips on where to drop line and catch some BIG fish information.
Those listed here support major collections in marine fisheries.
Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL)/Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) Library The MBL, with greater than a century of history, houses one of the largest marine and biomedical library collections in the world.
The Mariner online catalog, supported by Endeavor software, allows searchable access to over 200, 000 volumes, including more than 5, 000 serial publication titles.
The online catalog also provides access to the MBL Special Collections, the WHOI Archives, the WHOI Data and Document Libraries, the Northeast Fisheries Science Center Library and a large image collection of scientific instruments, fish, and ALVIN dive images.
In addition, the Sirsi software supported online catalog allows a user to search the holdings of all or one of the 26 NOAA libraries throughout the United States, representing a vast amount of fisheries related reports, serials and monographs..
