Mediterranean Fishing Strategies and interactions Between Small Scale Fisheries and Trawlers in the Mediterranean Hake Fishery
2010
Mediterranean fisheries are characterized by a high diversity of fishing strategies that can be differentiated according to a gradient from the coast to the offshore area. Over the gradient, fleets interact through the resource. The paper first provides a description of the fishing strategies and proposes a typology for the French Mediterranean fleet based on this gradient. A focus on the interactions between fleets is then provided through the example of the Mediterranean hake fishery. In this fishery, two main strategies, small scale gillnetters operating in the 3 milles area and trawlers operating more offshore, compete for the resource. A description of these two segments is provided and the management implications of the technical interactions are highlighted.
