  • What is the goal of the ecosystem approach (EAS)?

    To maintain ecosystem structure and functioning under exploitation of specific parts of the ecosystem
  • What are the subsystems of SES?

    - Resource system = ecological characteristics of ecosystem
    - Resource units = Characteristics of resource
    - Management or governance system
    - Users of resource and other stakeholders
  • What is an subsistence element?

    Fish is for local household consumption
  • What is the goal of world fisheries?

    Reaching MSY
  • What is unsustainable fishing?

    Abundance is lower than the level that can produce the MSY = overfished
  • Which types of levels of fishing are there?

    • Underexploited: Up to 10% of maximum catch = underfished
    • Moderately exploited: 10-50% = underfished
    • Fully exploited: Exploited at MSY = fully fished
    • Overexploited: 50-10% of maximum beyond MSY = overfished
    • Depleted: Beyond MSY, crashed when below 10% of maximal recorded level = overfished
    • Recovering: Still pressure but recovering from low state = overfished 
  • What is the Kobe plot?

    - Biomass relative to exploitation rate 
    - Where lines cross = maximum annual production of stock is taken

    • Fishery management system
      • Policy and planning, management, development and research
  • What is spacial scale?

    - size (geographically and administratively) 
    - Important for determining boundaries and management system
    - Determines the interactions between components and is dependent on the question
  • What are other apporaches to characterise fishery systems?

    Fisheries can also be characterized using:
    - Geographically location
    - Type of ecosystem
    - Physical environment
    - Depth of water
    - Nature and behaviors of harvesters
    - Socio-economic environment
