Longline

Overview

FRIGOLAB SANMATEO, PROPEMAR y TRANSMARINA trabajarán juntos para lograr la certificación del Marine Stewardship Council para la pesquería.

Este Proyecto de Mejora de la Pesquería se basa en los resultados de la Preevaluación del MSC de la pesquería de palangre de pez espada (Xiphias gladius) realizada por la consultora independiente Cynthia Fernández en marzo de 2019.

En esta preevaluación se identificaron dos Unidades de Certificación (UoC):

UoC1: Flota palangrera artesanal ecuatoriana (Nodrizas)

  • Equipo: Palangre
  • Especies de destino: Pez espada (Xiphias gladius)
  • Valor: Pacífico Sureste (EPO)
  • Zonas de pesca: Zona FAO 87/ ZEE ecuatoriana
  • OROP: CIAT

UoC2: Flota palangrera industrial ecuatoriana

  • Equipo: Palangre
  • Especie de destino: Pez espada (Xiphias gladius)
  • Valor: Pacífico Sureste (EPO)
  • Zonas de pesca: Zona FAO 87
  • OROP: CIAT

Los caladeros de la pesquería artesanal de grandes pelágicos ecuatoriano se ubican entre los 05°00'N y 15°00'S, y hasta el meridiano 100°00'O del archipiélago de Galápagos. Las pesquerías artesanales ecuatorianas son pesquerías de especies múltiples que operan durante todo el año y están definidas por dos temporadas principales relacionadas con las especies de peces pelágicos grandes objetivo. Uno está orientado principalmente a la pesca de dorado y el otro incluye atunes, peces picudos y tiburones. 

Esta pesquería comenzó gradualmente a mediados de los años 1970, pero experimentó una expansión importante durante los años 1990 y 2000. Las zonas de pesca tradicionales, que inicialmente se encontraban a menos de 40 m de la costa, se han ido ampliando con el paso de los años hasta los 1.400 m de la costa continental, pasando por el archipiélago de Galápagos, estableciendo lo que hoy se conoce como la "pesquería oceánico-artesanal" en Ecuador.

La flota artesanal está constituida por un buque nodriza (mother ship) que se define como un buque pesquero que remolca una serie de palangreros artesanales (fabricados en fibra de vidrio) hasta caladeros lejanos, y cuya finalidad es pescar, abastecer de agua, combustible, viveros, cebos y otros insumos pesqueros y a su vez almacenar en sus granjas las capturas obtenidas por los buques pesqueros artesanales (Acuerdo 407. Ministerio de Agricultura, Ganadería, Acuacultura y Pesca. 12 de octubre de 2011- Art. 1). En la pesquería de picudos (incluido el pez espada y otros pelágicos de mayor tamaño) se permitirán hasta un máximo de seis pequeños arrastreros de fibra de vidrio (Acuerdo 407. Ministerio de Agricultura, Ganadería, Acuacultura y Pesca. 12 de octubre de 2011- Art. 3). En 2019 el número de naves nodriza fue de 106 según datos de la Subsecretaría de Recursos Pesqueros. Se estima que las operaciones con buques nodriza producen hasta el 80% de la captura total de la pesquería artesanal.

La pesca en alta mar no está regulada por ninguna medida de gestión excepto la prohibición de pescar en aguas de Galápagos.

La flota de palangre industrial está compuesta por buques de hasta 50 m de eslora, con artes motorizados para palangre de profundidad media que se dirige a una variedad de grandes especies pelágicas, incluidos atunes y peces picudos. En 2019, la flota estaría compuesta por 93 embarcaciones, según información proporcionada por la Subsecretaría de Recursos Pesqueros.

Overview

This FIP covers the Atlantic Ocean stocks of bigeye (Thunnus obesus) and yellowfin (T. albacares) tunas caught in the Grenada Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) by vessels supplying Grenada National Export Traceability and Technology, Incorporated using pelagic longline, troll and dropline fishing gear. With the majority of the Grenada EEZ in deep oceanic water, large pelagics such as tuna dominate fisheries landings. For the purpose of this FIP, two key fisheries are considered to make up the Grenada tuna fleet: a pelagic longline and troll fishery that targets free schools of tuna and a troll and dropline fishery that targets large pelagics around anchored Fish Aggregating Devices (FADs). The longline fleet consists of about 200 vessels, the majority of which make single-day trips, while approximately 120 fishers are active in the FAD fishery. The fishery falls under the jurisdiction of the Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (RFMO) ICCAT. Within the EEZ, the development and management of marine resources fall under the jurisdiction of the Grenada Fisheries Division, a division of the Ministry of Climate Resilience, the Environment, Forestry, Fisheries, Disaster Management and Information.

The fishery targets north and south Pacific albacore (Thunnus alalunga), western and central Pacific Ocean (WCPO) bigeye (T. obesus) and WCPO yellowfin (T. albacares) tuna. The longline vessels are flagged to China (with potentially Fijian and Taiwanese vessels joining) and fish on the high seas and within the Vanuatu and Solomon Islands EEZs and supply the factory in Suva, Fiji. The fishery is managed regionally by the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC).

Overview

Swordfish is a highly migratory species of fish found throughout most of the world’s oceans. Adults are typically found between 15 degrees North and 35 degrees South, while juveniles are more common within tropical and subtropical waters. In the north Pacific Ocean, there are two stocks of swordfish. The populations are separated by a diagonal boundary that runs from Baja California to the Equator. There are two stocks of swordfish within the eastern Pacific Ocean: the northeastern Pacific Ocean stock and the southeastern Pacific Ocean stock.

A recent stock assessment noted that the biomass of swordfish in the northeastern Pacific Ocean is healthy and fishing mortality rates are stable. The biomass is not expected to decline at current fishing levels. However, the fisheries that target the species have some barriers to remove, like the fact that there are no formally adopted target reference points or harvest control rules in place. Also, there might be issues with bycatch of sea turtles, sea birds, sharks, and other fish species in longline fisheries.

The Mexican Pacific swordfish fishery targets the Northeastern Pacific Ocean stock averaging annual landings of 760 metric tons and registers 52 vessels with commercial fishing licenses for longline of which, an average of 25 vessels operates in the season. 30 are registered in Baja California State and the 22 remaining vessels are registered in Sinaloa State. 95% of the landings are exported to the United States of America subject to the NOAA Seafood Import Monitoring Program requirements for the importation of certain priority fish and fish products that have been identified as being particularly vulnerable to IUU fishing and/or seafood fraud.

Overview

The fishery being assessed is StarKist Atlantic Ocean longline tuna fishery. The fishery targets albacore (Thunnus alalunga) tuna, bigeye (T. obesus) and yellowfin (T. albacares) tunas. The pelagic longline vessels are flagged to Taiwan, St Vincent, Senegal, Panama and Belize and fish on the high seas (and occasionally in the national EEZs) in the Atlantic. The fishery is managed regionally by the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) in the Atlantic Ocean.
