Assessment of Species Catch Composition in Fisheries Posing a Risk to Biodiversity Phase 2

The estimation of bycatch of protected, endangered and threatened species (PET) in commercial fisheries and its sustainability assessment is an important consideration in the implementation of the Common Fisheries Policy, the Marine Strategy Framework directive (Descriptor 1) and the Habitats and Bird’s directives. Since 2016, the reporting of all bycatch is a requirement of the data collection framework to support this assessment (EU MAP: EU- 2016 1251). This project follows on from the assessment of species catch composition in Phase 1.

Although Ireland currently has an observer programme on commercial inshore and offshore fleet metiers, and records all bycatch, these programmes are optimised for assessment of fish catches for the Data Collection Framework (DCF). PET species are not typical in fish catches but occur sporadically but also potentially catastrophically in the case of small or localised/resident populations (i.e. potentially high but infrequent by-catch). Estimates for such zero inflated data are difficult to obtain and the resolution of this problem requires an enhanced observer programme for fleet metiers that pose the highest risk of by-catch of such species. In 2017-2018, in consultation with other end-users, the fisheries that have been identified as posing the highest risk to bycatch and warrant an enhanced bycatch programme, are set net fisheries in the first instance. These have received additional sampling effort on a national and regional level (SW table net fishery). In 2018, additional effort has been provided to the pelagic trawl fishery catching horse mackerel.

This enhanced data collection could usefully be combined with sample provision to existing studies (e.g., population genetics) to augment information on the population ecology of species that are incidentally caught. High uncertainty of by-catch is one of the gaps identified in the Fisheries Natura risk assessment for seals and cetaceans (Marine Institute 2015).
The at sea observer programme will be used to collect bycatch data. As in Phase 1, observers will collect small tissue samples from by-caught species for laboratory analysis (i.e., skin and blubber biopsy) and collect seabird carcasses to enhance data collection. In 2019-2020, observers will be provided with small toolkits related to the collection and storage of tissue samples.
A co-ordinating observer will be contracted to manage the enhanced observer programme. This will include the identification and allocation of trips to observers across the different metiers, payments to observers and logging of data & sample returns. All SOPs and data management procedures for this type of work are already established in the Marine Institute. Methods will be reviewed based on the outcomes from the EASME funded project fishPi2 and the ICES workshop PETSAMP.

The project is carried out in close collaboration with the Marine Institute (Fisheries Ecosystem Advisory Services), National Parks and Wildlife Services, and its parent department, Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (DCHG). The post-mortem examinations of stranded cetaceans are carried out on behalf of the project partners by the Irish Whale and Dolphin Group (IWDG), Galway Mayo Institute of Technology and the Veterinary Laboratory of the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM) benefitting from specimen collected under the Cetacean Strandings Scheme.

Duration:

The project has a 2 year duration and runs between 2019 and 2020.

Project Outputs:

Screening of stranded carcasses of seals and small cetaceans: Although the observer programme observes a sample of the fisheries by-catch in real time and can provide estimates of total by-catch for different metiers if there is adequate coverage, additional information can be obtained if the cause of mortality of stranded animals is determined. Under Ireland’s ongoing Cetacean Strandings Scheme a small proportion of the annual stranding records show scientifically established external signs of fisheries by-catch, including broken bones, obvious net marks, gear entanglement or fins cleanly removed. In parallel with its at-sea observation method, the enhanced monitoring programme provides an important opportunity to subsample stranded marine mammal carcasses for evidence of by-catch interaction, if this occurs. It is aimed to use both components of the study to inform one another, improve the assessment of relevant metiers of concern and to enhance scientific and management understanding of such interactions and their risk to protected species. This project will establish contracts for the targeted recovery and post-mortem examination of a sub-sample of small cetaceans stranded around the south and west coasts of Ireland through liaison with the coordinator of the Cetacean Strandings Scheme and through international best practice in post-mortem examination (PME).

Data obtained from Phase 1 and Phase 2 will be used to model the risk of bycatch to populations of different PET species.
Future sampling recommendations: Results from the enhanced by-catch monitoring programme will be reviewed in relation to end-user requirements. Recommendations on sampling methodologies and sampling effort for bycatch monitoring will be drafted to inform future data collection programmes (link to UP3) and will feed into the review of EUMAP.
Bycatch data will be disseminated to endusers via official data calls and in direct consultation with national and international endusers (eg DAFM, DCHG, DHPLG, ICES, DCF RCG North Atlantic ).

Expected Benefit:

Improved scientific reporting in on bycatch events of seals, small cetaceans, seabirds and rare and endangered species by fishing metier.
Scientific reporting on the evidence, if any, for fisheries by-catch in the population of stranded cetaceans around the Irish coast.
Training of Irish scientists in international best practice where PME of marine mammals is concerned.
Contribution of key tissue samples of relevance in assessing population structure and ecology among the species by-caught in monitored metiers.
Future estimates of the population level effects of by-catch on seals, small cetaceans and rare and endangered species.
Recommendations and management coordination on mitigation measures to ensure compliance with EU Directives.
Recommendations on sampling methodologies and sampling effort for bycatch monitoring to inform future data collection programmes under revised EUMAP (link to UP3).
8. Enhanced ability to advise on permissible by-catch levels for marine mammals.

MsY proxies for DAta-limited Stocks (MYDAS) for key stone species and species sensitive to the impacts of fishing Phase 2

jkeane — Wed, 12 Feb 2020 12:33:39 +0000

MsY proxies for DAta-limited Stocks (MYDAS) for key stone species and species sensitive to the impacts of fishing Phase 2

Many of the stocks which are caught by the Irish commercial fishing fleets are considered to be data-limited or are not assessed at all. These include a number of key stone species (like sprat, gurnards, saithe, pollack, ling) and species sensitive to the impacts of fishing (like rays and skates, john dory, brill and turbot). For these stocks, the fishing mortality is unknown and MSY reference points are not established. This lack of quantifiable targets is an impediment to the implementation of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) as well as the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD).

In phase 1 of the MYDAS project, a framework was developed to establish and test a range of assessment models and methods to establish MSY (or proxy MSY) reference points across the spectrum of data-limited stocks. A range of case-studies is currently being explored and this work is expected to result in a number of generic approaches that vary depending on the biology of the stock and the types of data that are available.

Phase 2 of the MYDAS project aims to implement the approaches developed in MYDAS1 and build capacity to apply these approaches within the Marine Institute and internationally. In order to achieve this, the project will provide hands-on support in the development of a number of case studies by Marine Institute experts. These case studies will serve to build capacity but also to prove the value of the MYDAS framework internationally. At the same time, the project members will actively engage with the relevant ICES expert groups in order to facilitate wider use of the MYDAS framework.

A number of case studies are proposed; these concern stocks that are of importance to Ireland and for which there is an urgent need to establish the stock status and exploitation level relative to MSY reference points.

The case studies aim to:
1. Develop assessments and (proxy) MSY reference points for data-poor stocks identified in the Western Waters Multi-annual Plan (WW MAP) as target species (e.g. pollack, black anglerfish, four-spot megrim);
2. Develop assessments and (proxy) MSY reference points for sensitive species that are not inclused in the WW MAP as target stocks (e.g. sharks, rays, ling);
3. Develop assessments and (proxy) MSY reference points for stocks for non-TAC stocks that are of importance to the ecosystem (e.g. sprat, witch, lemon sole);
4. Explore Management Strategy Evaluations (MSE) using management rules that are not related to catch, like v-notching and size limits.
5. Use of time series data to establish stocks status, e.g. in-season depletion of lobster CPUE, standardising time series, mapping of CPUE time series for georeferenced catch and effort data, production modelling.
6. Explore if it is possible to obtain reliable growth parameters from mark-recapture data for crustaceans (considering that there is high individual variability in growth).

International collaboration is essential for stocks that are exploited by more than one country. The MYDAS framework can contribute significantly to the development of data-limited approaches. Engagement with key ICES and OSPAR working groups is therefore essential.
The project will:
7. Support ICES in the development of robust generic harvest control rules for a range of classes of data-limited stocks through WKLIFE
8. Contribute to the relevant ICES assessment working groups that might benefit from applying the MYDAS framework (WGEF; WGCSE)
9. Contribute to relevant OSPAR meeting(s)

Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY) Proxies for Data-Limited Stocks for Key Stone Species and Species Sensitive to the Impacts of Fishing

dkelly — Wed, 27 Jun 2018 07:04:59 +0000

Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY) Proxies for Data-Limited Stocks for Key Stone Species and Species Sensitive to the Impacts of Fishing

There are a number of reasons why stocks are considered to be data limited: in some cases the available data is truly limited (e.g. non-TAC species or small stocks for which the value of the landings is small compared to the cost of sampling). In other cases there may be a substantial amount of data available, but not in a form that allows traditional analytical assessments of the status of the stock.

Below are some example species covering a broad spectrum of characteristics:

Species	TAC	Commercial catch	Data	Comments
Sprat	No	Targeted species for small fleet	Poor; mainly landings weights.	Key-stone prey fish
Gurnards	No	Nearly 100% discarded	Reasonable discard and survey data. No age data.	Key-stone prey – widely distributed and abundant
Saithe, pollack, ling	Yes	Mixed fishery	Some port sampling, observer and survey data. Very limited age data.	Key-stone predator
Rays and skates	Yes	Targeted and mixed fishery	Some port sampling, observer and survey data. No age data.	Sensitive species – slow reproduction
John Dory	No	Mixed fishery but can be targeted to an extent.	Some port sampling, observer and survey data. No age data.	Sensitive species – valuable non-TAC species (not protected by fisheries management)
Brill, turbot	No	Mixed fishery but can be targeted to an extent.	Some port sampling, observer and survey data. Very limited age data.	Sensitive species – valuable non-TAC species (not protected by fisheries management)

Most of these species are caught in a mixed fishery. Some species cannot be aged and for others the value of the landings is too low to justify a sampling programme to support age-based assessments. Nevertheless, apart from catch data, some additional data exists for most of these stocks (e.g. commercial LPUE and survey data). The project will evaluate whether including these additional sources of data improves or actually deteriorates our understanding of the state of the stock, compared to the information that is available from the time series of landings or catches alone. For other stocks, that are almost data-rich but for which no appropriate assessment models exists, the project will develop assessment methods that make optimal use of the available data. Each data source will be assessed for bias and precision and the contribution it makes to the assessment model.

There are also a large number of stocks in the ICES area for which reliable analytical assessments exist and for which the state of the stock is well known (e.g. Celtic Sea haddock, Irish Sea Nephrops). These stocks can be used to simulate data-limited situations and evaluate the performance of data-limited assessment models. In addition to this, models will be tested with fully simulated fish stocks and fisheries.

Simulated fish stocks and fisheries will also be used for a cost-benefit analysis of including various sources of data. This will answer the question of when the cost of collecting additional data would offset the yield and conservation benefits. For example: how many years would it take for an ageing programme to be financially viable under a range of stock scenarios.

The overall aim of the project is to develop and test a range of assessment models and methods to establish MSY reference points (or proxy MSY reference points) across the spectrum of data-limited stocks.

Assessment of Species Catch Composition in Fisheries Posing a Risk to Biodiversity

dkelly — Wed, 27 Jun 2018 06:58:36 +0000

Assessment of Species Catch Composition in Fisheries Posing a Risk to Biodiversity

Static net fisheries are known to pose a potentially widespread risk of capture to a number of designated species including grey seal, harbour seal and small cetaceans (i.e. porpoises and dolphins). Furthermore some metiers within the static net fleet also have a by-catch of rare and endangered fish species, of commercial species subject to TAC, and potentially there are also incidences of seabird by-catch. However, because of the nature of the fishery operations (e.g., vessel sizes, seasonality, variable soak times and depths, weather constraints) and of the prevalence and distribution of this by-catch, especially seals and cetaceans, it is difficult to quantify and assess the current spatial/temporal dimension of the interaction and its population level effects. More scientific sampling data are required from relevant regions to increase the precision and accuracy of the existing by-catch estimates. This enhanced data collection could usefully be combined with sample provision to existing studies (e.g., population genetics) to augment information on the population ecology of species that are incidentally caught. High uncertainty of by-catch is one of the gaps identified in the fisheries Natura risk assessment for seals and cetaceans. By-catch is also flagged as an important pressure/threat in Ireland’s reporting on the conservation status of such species to the European Commission under Article 17 of the Habitats Directive. Although Ireland currently has an observer programme on many of the commercial inshore and offshore fleet metiers these programmes are optimised for assessment of fish catches for the Data Collection Framework (DCF). Designated or rare and endangered species are not typical in fish catches but occur sporadically but also potentially catastrophically in the case of small or localised/resident populations (i.e. potentially high but infrequent by-catch). Estimates for such zero inflated data are difficult to obtain and the resolution of this problem requires in the first instance an enhanced observer programme for fleet metiers that pose the highest risk of by-catch of such species.

Project Tasks include the following:

The fishing vessels:
The first task is to identify the population of vessels to be sampled under an enhanced observer programme and the historic fish catch composition of these vessels to identify the metiers (vessel gear catch profiles). Previous work by BIM is a basis for this as is the Marine Institute’s logbook database. However, the level of activity by static net vessels under 10m (no logbook) and the location of activity of vessels under 12m (no VMS) will require profiling through a review of expert and local knowledge held in BIM and the industry. This was last completed in 2013 for the Natura fisheries risk assessment project and again the risk assessment report is a starting point. Metiers will include large mesh tangle nets targeting crayfish, offshore tangle netting for hake and monkfish, inshore gillnetting for cod, pollack and mixed demersal fish and trammel netting for bait in shallow water.
Sampling design:
Once the population of vessels in each metier is known an observer programme can be designed in order to provide unbiased estimates of by-catch and catch composition using methods for statistically sound sampling described by ICES. The observer programme can also be enhanced, for example to collect small tissue samples from by-caught species for laboratory analysis (i.e. skin and blubber biopsy) or to collect seabird carcasses.
Co-ordination of the observer programme:
A co-ordinating observer will be contracted to manage the enhanced observer programme. This will include the identification and allocation of trips to observers across the different metiers and logging of data & sample returns. All SOPs and data management procedures for this type of work are already established in the Marine Institute. In 2017, observers will be provided with small toolkits related to the collection and storage of tissue samples.
Genetic profiling of seal and cetacean by-catch:
One of the central questions in the risk assessment of the interaction between seals and set net fisheries in Ireland is the origin of the animals caught in set nets. This issue may also apply where some cetacean species are concerned. If the by-caught animals belong to comparatively small Irish breeding populations then the risk to the population from by-catch mortality can be much more significant than if they originate from much larger transnational populations for instance. In order to address such questions, tissue samples will be collected from all by-caught seals and cetaceans for genetic screening through separate projects. There is currently one such project in place with co-supervision by the National Parks & Wildlife Service (NPWS). Samples collected through the enhanced monitoring project will therefore be made available to NPWS via arrangement with the coordinating observer.
Screening of stranded carcasses of seals and small cetaceans:
Although the observer programme observes a sample of the fisheries by-catch in real time and can provide estimates of total by-catch for different metiers if there is adequate coverage, additional information can be obtained if the cause of mortality of stranded animals is determined. Under Ireland’s ongoing Cetacean Strandings Scheme a small proportion of the annual stranding records show scientifically established external signs of fisheries by-catch, including broken bones, obvious net marks, gear entanglement or fins cleanly removed. In parallel with its at-sea observation method, the enhanced monitoring programme provides an important opportunity to subsample stranded marine mammal carcasses for evidence of by-catch interaction, if this occurs. It is aimed to use both components of the study to inform one another, improve the assessment of relevant metiers of concern and to enhance scientific and management understanding of such interactions and their risk to protected species. This project will establish contracts for the targeted recovery and post-mortem examination of a sub-sample of small cetaceans stranded around the south and west coasts of Ireland through liaison with the coordinator of the Cetacean Strandings Scheme and through international best practice in post-mortem examination (PME).
Future sampling recommendations:
Results from the enhanced by-catch monitoring programme will be reviewed in relation to end-user requirements. Recommendations on sampling methodologies and sampling effort for bycatch monitoring will be drafted to inform future data collection programmes (link to Union Priority 3 – Data collection Scheme).

Development of Marine Invasive Species Surveillance Methods to Facilitate Mapping dkelly Thu, 06/07/2018 - 10:25

Galway Mayo Institute of Technology

Partners:

Marine Institute

The aim of this project is to develop surveillance methods to facilitate the mapping of Invasive Alien Species (IAS) distribution in Irish marine habitats. Galway Mayo Institute of Technology (GMIT) are researching IAS detection methods in Irish nearshore waters and benthic habitats. They have completed a review of known marine IAS in Ireland and identified IAS that could invade Irish marine habitats through vulnerable invasion pathways and other mechanisms (e.g. ballast water vectors, climate change, etc). Molecular methods, such as environmental DNA techniques, are being assessed as a tool for confirming presence/absence of IAS in Irish waters. These techniques have potential as an early detection technique for monitoring the introduction and spread of invasive taxa. Targeted field studies using established methods, are being carried out in parallel to identify and confirm the presence of IAS. This will give a better understanding of their distribution and risk assessment, and thereby enabling management actions that could be addressed in a marine spatial plan.

Duration:

2 years (2019-2021)

Project Status:

Completed

Project Outputs:

1. Review document summarising existing programmes that monitor for IAS with a view to identifying potential gaps in the current regulatory programme, to summarising a standardised approach that could ensure all statutory and non-statutory IAS monitoring requirements are being addressed, and to outlining criteria that distinguish between harmful (i.e. invasive) and more benign alien taxa.
2. A publicly available database and catalogue of marine IAS detected in Irish marine habitats.
3. Risk assessments to characterise the marine IAS potential for further colonization and spread; to ascertain the ecological (e.g., fisheries, biodiversity, ecosystem services etc.), economic and environmental health consequences of such spread; and to investigate mechanisms to control or eradicate the species and manage their risks through mitigation measures.
4. Detection and surveillance methods manual.

Expected Benefit

Increased trade and climate change are factors likely to increase the frequency of introductions of marine IAS into Ireland. The development of national marine invasive species surveillance methods will improve the control of introductions and management of pathways for marine invasive alien species.

This project will increase the knowledge of the existing baseline incidence of marine IAS in Ireland, by providing a fit-for-purpose surveillance system, and providing spatial knowledge of marine invasive taxa in Irish coastal habitats. Such spatial knowledge will enable management criteria to be addressed in a marine spatial plan that define appropriate activities that could be engaged in specific water bodies to minimize the risk of further spread of recognized AIS, and define additional control and/or eradication methods that could be implemented. Thus, resource managers and local authorities addressing foreshore infrastructure and nearshore development proposal decisions will able to make informed choices.

Marine spatial planning decisions should consider the status of the incidence of marine invasives in Irish marine habitats and mechanisms to manage/mitigate the risk. This work will be foundational to an early detection and rapid response system for marine invasive species in Irish waters, and will be key to supporting related work outlined in Project 3.2. It will also provide ancillary benefit to characterizing the status of invasive species in Ireland for MSFD reporting requirements.
