Machine-learning and thresholding algorithms to automatically predict fishing effort of small-scale trawl fishery
To assess fishery resources, it is necessary to easily obtain information on catch per unit effort, which is a resource indicator. In this study, two...

Small-scale fishing has affected abundance and size distributions of deepwater snappers and groupers in the MesoAmerican region
Deepwater fisheries in the Caribbean Sea are poorly studied and mostly unmanaged, despite their importance to local economies and food security. In...

Performance of length-based assessment in predicting small-scale multispecies fishery sustainability
Small-scale fisheries play a critical role in food security and contribute to nearly half of reported global fish catches. However, the status of...

Presence of microplastic in target species of small scale fisheries and possible social implications on the local communities
Microplastic ingestion by marine fishes has been of particular interest, as many species are the target of commercial fisheries and, thus, have a...

Blue economy: industrialisation and coastal fishing livelihoods in Ghana
The growing focus on the blue economy is accelerating industrial fishing in many parts of the world. This intensification is affecting the...

An approach to assess data-less small-scale fisheries: examples from Congo rivers
Small-scale fisheries (SSF) account for much of the global fish catch, but data to assess them often do not exist, impeding assessments of their...

Assessing discards in an illegal small-scale fishery using fisher-led reporting
About a third of all marine fish in the world are caught in Small-Scale Fisheries (SSF). SSF are increasingly recognised as essential for food...
