Scientific Cooperation to Support Responsible Fisheries in the Adriatic Sea

Fishery shared resources

 
The activities included in this area cover priority topics related to the shared demersal and small pelagic fishery resources in the Adriatic Sea. These topics were identified in the framework of the AdriaMed Working Groups. Specific proposal, which regard areas recognised by the experts as requiring attention, were formulated and the research priorities were presented and discussed at the 2nd AdriaMed Coordination Committee meeting (Portorož, Slovenia, November 2000). These included studies and research on: shared fishery resources appraisal, genetic stock structure, commercial catch monitoring, trawl gear selectivity, bibliographical reviewing and updating, and on-the job training.

The research programmes actively performed by the AdriaMed Project and the Adriatic institutions involved are presented in summarised forms, which highlight the main aspects (title objective, preliminary results) as well as more details information describing the meeting organised, the training exercises carried out, the publications issued, the main results obtained.

Many outputs were published as contributions for the Adriatic region and for the whole Mediterranen through the GFCM and SAC and CAQ Sub-committee meetings.
