Publication metadata
Commission Decision of 25 February 2016 setting up a Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries, C(2016) 1084, OJ C 74, 26.2.2016, p. 4–10. The Commission may consult the group on any matter relating to marine and fisheries biology, fishing gear technology, fisheries economics, fisheries governance, ecosystem effects of fisheries, aquaculture or similar disciplines. This report includes the results of the meeting of an expert working group on non-quota stocks (NQS) in STECF. A specific data call was issued and the report provides information per Member State (MS) on the available data, the 20 most important non-quota species regarding landings weight and effort distribution of catches of NQS of vessels of the MS. It was not possible to fully assess the most important species regarding landings weight and landings value from the delivered data due to limited comparability between MS. The information on species and sea basins is included in factsheets for different species. The first indicative list of species DG Mare provided by analysis of the FDI database includes pouting, edible crab, red gurnard, tub gurnard, European pilchard, king scallop, spinous spider crab and whelk). Those 9 species cover a variety of taxa but not all species belong to the 10 most important species regarding landings weight or landings value from the data of the MS or the FDI database. In addition, the report includes information on economic importance of NQS extracted from the database on the economic data collected under the DCF and available in a JRC database (also the basis of the Annual Economic Report on the EU fishing fleets - AER). This analysis of economic data includes more stocks than the factsheets and can give an indication on what additional stocks need to be looked at in a next EWG. The report provides a comprehensive overview on available fisheries management measures for the management of NQS. The management measures are divided in three main groups: input, output and governance/economic measures. The chapter also includes pros and cons of measures and includes background information on some more general management processes. One of such more process-oriented management approach is a co-management approach. Such an approach can be beneficial as, for example, Advisory Councils can also provide proposals for management measures. The process of implementation can sometimes have higher importance for the implementation and success of a measure than which actual measure would be implemented. A co-management approach, for example, may be preferable compared to a top-down approach.
