Deep sea species
“Characterization of deep-sea fisheries across the North East Atlantic” Characterization of deep sea fisheries across the North East Atlantic 1st phase Information based on a preliminary report from PriceWaterhouseCoopers-Fish Pass to Blue Fish Association • Description of the perimeter of the study • Overview of available data considered • Analysis and recommendations This document is not a final report but a draft extract of the first phase of a socio economic study to be carried out in 2 phases Characterization of deep sea fisheries across the North East Atlantic Current context of deep-sea fishing in Europe: A definition that may change drastically: in Continental Europe more than 200 vessels target … deap-sea species that spend part of their lifetime below 200 m versus with the new regulation: • double licensing for targeted species and by-catches • individual instead of collective measures that freeze the footprint • Ban of bottom-trawling and bottom-set gillnets Furthermore: exchange of quotas with non EU countries are significant and may be affected by the new regulation Characterization of deep sea fisheries across the North East Atlantic Current context of deep-sea fishing in Europe: A highly regulated activity: most EU and other international regulations include tac & quotas, freeze of the footprint, move on rules, protected zone for VME but none include a general ban on bottom gears A sustainable and responsible fishing in many instances: with its 1,600 scientists from 200 institutes, ICES has demonstrated that the most captured deep-sea species are exploited at MSY levels A major contribution to ports, coastal communities and the industry : 1 job at sea often equals 3 to 4 jobs on land A significant improvement and sharing of knowledge of the oceans… For the future of sustainable fisheries Characterization of deep sea fisheries across the North East Atlantic 1st phase Catches and quotas trends and evolution: a major limitation of the fishing effort by the EC and by responsible fishermen Draft Section 1.1 – Overview From fishing rights to catches – what could be the 90 000 impact of the regulation EU countries captures represent half of the available quotas. Mainly because a significant amount of ling, blue-ling and tusk in the UK EEZ are “sold” to Norway in order to “pay for” other species, i.e. North Artic cod. United Kingdom 80 000 Sweden 70 000 Spain Portugal 60 000 Poland 50 000 The regulation would not only impact the 40 000 tons harvested, but also the ability of the EU to exchange deep-sea species with demersal species (as cod and haddock ) in the yearly quota-negotiation with Norway. Others Lithuania 40 000 Latvia Ireland 30 000 Germany France 20 000 Estonia 10 000 Tons NB: France fishing zone is essentially in North East Atlantic but for Portugal (15 MT of black scabbardfish) and eastern countries (8 MT) fishing zones are outside of the North East Atlantic.

Since then at least one vessel is out of fleet. The landings are mainly significant in the Lorient Port. The fact that vessels have licences does not necessarily means they use tem. In Lorient, a local ship-owner sells fish mainly landed in advanced bases, and some Spanish netters also land ling that is further transported to Spain.

The current EC proposal would obviously affect the 33-46 meters trawlers to the west of Scotland, but effects might be anticipated for: - 138 Artisanal trawlers > 18 meters targeting Cod and Haddock by-catch 2,3% of Ling. - 2 Long liners in the west of Scotland that target Hake (92% of the catches) by-catch Ling (5% of the catches) - Some of the 197 < 15 meters netters and some of the 23 > 15 meters netters which both target Monkfish catch tons bycatch 1% of Ling. - 19 Trawlers in the west of Scotland targeting demersal species (83% of the catches are Saithe or Hake) by-catch Greater Argentine (1/3 of discards) and Ling. Together, those 2 species make 3,8% of the catches, making 460 tons. When targeting Saithe, by-catches are less important (>1%, for > 120 tons). - In a very smaller extent; 245 Coastal Long liners in the Biscay Bay fish 4 167 tons. Amongst the catches are 16 tons of conger. All considered, the EC proposal shall have impacts in France on the employment linked to app. 350 vessels. Audélor • European Deep Sea Fisheries – Feasibility assessment Report PwC / Fishpass February 19th 2013 25 Characterization of deep sea fisheries across the North East Atlantic Definition criteria significantly influence the results: • How banned fishing gears will be substituted ? • How many species will be on the list? • How deep and how far? • How many quotas will be exchanged? • How many additional vessels will land deap-sea bycatches? Characterization of deep sea fisheries across the North East Atlantic Next step will be Phase 2: The EC regulation proposal and its direct, indirect and spill-over effects through a country by country analysis. In order to measure the socioeconomic effects as deep-sea fisheries change, multipliers are a useful tool : • backward multipliers assess the upstream effects in the supply chain. • forward multipliers account for the downstream effects in the supply chain.
