AdriaMed Expert Consultation Interactions
between capture fisheries and aquaculture General
overview

• The general principles - the methodological
  framework of the Consultation were based on
• CF and A have the objective of producing
  aquatic products for human consumption (CCRF)
• CF and A are part of the same system and specific
  recommendations must be given within a global
  approach in which the different dimensions of
  fisheries (Governance, Ecological, Economic and
  Social) are taken into consideration .

• The national contributions provided background
  information of the aquaculture sector in the
  Adriatic countries and permitted to highlight
  the more relevant topics on the relationships
  between CF and A

• The discussion on thematic area (market
  interaction quality and certification of
  fishery products CF and A blue fin tuna fishing
  and farming in the Adriatic sea)permitted the
  discussion on specific issues on interaction
  between CF and A using a systemic approach.

AdriaMed Expert Consultation Interactions
between capture and fisheries aquaculture Aims

• to achieve a comprehensive description and
  analysis of the aquaculture sector in the
  countries which border the Adriatic Sea

• to acquire the tools to improve the knowledge on
  the relationships between fisheries and
  aquaculture in the area

• to explore the main issues dealing with
  interactions between aquaculture and capture
  fisheries using the existing knowledge

Methodological contribution to the identification
of the list of reliable indicator to be
monitored
Basic element to address research and monitoring
programmes towards the study of relationships
between capture fisheries and aquaculture
The structural approach and the content of the
table proposed is considered as a first step of a
work in progress.
Useful check list for further explanation and
development
The use of these indicators allow support to be
given to the decision-makers in management
strategy and in assessing progress towards
sustainable development of the sector

AdriaMed Expert Consultation Interactions
between capture fisheries and aquaculture Recommen
dations
The positive and negative interactions between
capture fisheries and aquaculture must be
considered in the context of integrated coastal
zone management by the Countries
The establishment of national programmes and
international cooperation for research activities
dealing with the interaction between capture
fisheries and aquaculture would be useful in both
marine and freshwater environments
The implementation and the monitoring of the
principles of the CCRF in many cases needs
appropriate assessment on the interactions
between capture fisheries and aquaculture
In the Adriatic the possibility of developing
pilot projects at sub regional level based on the
enhancement of interactions between capture
fisheries and aquaculture should be considered.
Fishermen and farmers should consider the
competitive opportunities that the positive
interactions between capture fisheries and
aquaculture can offer
In the coastal zone management appropriate
planning approaches to allocate resources (space,
grants, loans) to capture fisheries and
aquaculture especially in the case in which the
relationships between capture fisheries and
aquaculture contribute to the sustainable use of
environmental resources must be followed
Specific cases of interactions between capture
fisheries and aquaculture such as tuna farming,
wild fry collection, management of coastal
lagoons, to be correctly address require a sound
knowledge base and a decision making process
based on the participation of the different
stakeholders

• Traffic Light (TL)
• method to display indicator values making the
  related information available and easy to
  understand
• provides a way to evaluate temporal variation of
  indicator series and to compare the relevance of
  a wide range of inputs to the management process
• proposed as a precautionary management framework
  incorporating decision rules for management
  actions based on the current state of multiple
  indicators
• potentially powerful tool for developing,
  displaying and integrating technical information
  for fisheries management planning

9

• According to the TL approach a judgment codified
  by a specific colour is assigned to every year in
  the time series of each indicator
• Boundary values can be set according to their
  percentile value in time series, e.g.
• value gt 0.66th percentile (positive judgment,
  green colour assigned)
• value 0.66th - 0.33rd (intermediate, yellow
  colour assigned)
• value lt 0.33rd percentile (negative judgment,
  red colour assigned).

10
Based on the colours code, the variations of each
indicator can be highlighted and the associated
information (i.e. good, intermediate or warning
state) made available to set objectives and
decision rules in a fisheries management framework
