Info

Sea bass is taken as a by catch in several Dutch fisheries. Landings of fly-shooters were nearly 60 t in 2009 and landings of twin riggers about 30 t, whilst nearly 175 t of sea bass were landed by the Dutch beam trawl fleet (the largest Dutch fleet segment) in 2009. According to information provided by the client, these landings include catches by several Dutch beam trawlers from bass shoals that are aggregated near the wrecks were the rod and line fishery takes place Occasionally, this practice results in several tonnes of sea bass taken in one haul. The total landings of sea bass by Dutch fisheries in 2009 was 341 t (375 t in 2008, Table 1), of which the members of VBHL landed nearly 57 t. Catches of sea bass taken by recreational anglers may also comprised a substantial part of the overall landings of sea bass from the North Sea. Dutch recreational landings in 2006 were estimated at 195 t (Kroon, 2007). Page 31 of 151
7. STANDARD USED The MSC Principles and Criteria for Sustainable Fisheries form the standard against which the fishery is assessed and are organised in terms of three principles. Principle 1 addresses the need to maintain the target stock at a sustainable level. Principle 2 addresses the need to maintain the ecosystem in which the target stock exists. Principle 3 addresses the need for an effective fishery management system to fulfil Principles 1 and 2 and ensure compliance with national and international regulations. The Principles and their supporting Criteria are presented below. Principle 1 A fishery must be conducted in a manner that does not lead to overfishing or depletion of the exploited populations and, for those populations that are depleted, the fishery must be conducted in a manner that demonstrably leads to their recovery. The intent of this principle is to ensure that the productive capacities of resources are maintained at high levels and are not sacrificed in favour of short term interests. Thus, exploited populations would be maintained at high levels of abundance designed to retain their productivity, provide margins of safety for error and uncertainty, and restore and retain their capacities for yields over the long term. Criteria: 1. The fishery shall be conducted at catch levels that continually maintain the high productivity of the target population(s) and associated ecological community relative to its potential productivity. 2. Where the exploited populations are depleted, the fishery will be executed such that recovery and rebuilding is allowed to occur to a specified level consistent with the precautionary approach and the ability of the populations to produce long-term potential yields within a specified time frame. 3. Fishing is conducted in a manner that does not alter the age or genetic structure or sex composition to a degree that impairs reproductive capacity. Principle 2 Fishing operations should allow for the maintenance of the structure, productivity, function and diversity of the ecosystem (including habitat and associated dependent and ecologically related species) on which the fishery depends. The intent of this principle is to encourage the management of fisheries from an ecosystem perspective under a system designed to assess and restrain the impacts of the fishery on the ecosystem. The sequence in which the Principles and Criteria appear does not represent a ranking of their significance, but is rather intended to provide a logical guide to certifiers when assessing a fishery. The criteria by which the MSC Principles will be implemented will be reviewed and Page 32 of 151
