Wilberg, Michael J. | Miller, Thomas J.
Worm et al. (Research Articles, 3 November 2006, p. 787) reported an increasing proportion of fisheries in a "collapsed" state. We show that this may be an artifact of their definition of collapse as a fixed percentage of the maximum and that an increase in the number of managed fisheries could produce similar patterns as an increase in fisheries with catches below 10% of the maximum.

2007
(2007) WorldFish Center. Bangladesh. 3 p | The importance of Bangladesh's inland fisheries resources for the livelihoods and food security of the poor and landless is widely acknowledged. The management of these resources, based upon a combination of short-term leased access to water bodies or supported by a combination of conventional management interventions, has, however, often excluded the poorest fishers and encouraged leaseholders to effectively 'mine' resources at non-sustainable levels of exploitation. To address these concerns, the Department of Fisheries of the Government of Bangladesh and the WorldFish Center, with funding from the Ford Foundation (1994-1999) and the UK's DFID (2001-2006), have been working in partnership with 11 NGOs and fisher communities, to test a range of community-based approaches to fisheries management at pilot sites throughout Bangladesh covering 23,000 direct beneficiaries. The aim of the Project is to promote the sustainable use of, and equitable distribution of, benefits from inland fisheries resources by empowering communities to manage their own resources

2007
(2007) WorldFish Center. Bangladesh. 3 p | The unequal distribrition of wealth and power in rural Bangladesh makes it difficult for the poorer members of society, including women to access natural resources such as fisheries.Over a ten year period, the Community Based Fisheries Management (CBFM) project has successfully established access rights for many poor fishers to water bodies from which they were previously excluded. One of the main challenges faced by the project has been the resolution of disputes between the new user groups and the former users, often the rich, politically powerful 'rural elite'. This brief focuses on the approaches developed by the project to address the power struggle which faces community based organisations when taking control of valuable natural resources

Hall S.J., Collie, J.S., Duplisea, D.E., Jennings, S., Bravington, M., Link, J. (2006) Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Science, 63(6):1344-1359 | Quantitative ecosystem indicators are needed to fulfill the mandate for ecosystem-based fisheries management. A variety of community metrics could potentially be used, but before reference levels for such indices can be established the sensitivity of candidate indices to fishing and other disturbances must be determined. One approach for obtaining such information is to test candidate indicators with models that mimic real ecosystems and can be manipulated experimentally. Here we construct a size-based multi species model of a community of fish species that interact by predation. The model was parameterized for 21 fish species to obtain a predation-regulated community. Following an analysis of the sensitivity of the model to parameter uncertainty, we tested the sensitivity of community-level indicators to increasing levels of fish mortality (F). Abundance and biomass spectra were sensitive to fishing mortality, with the slope decreasing with increasing F. Species diversity size spectra were also very sensitive to F; with diversity in the largest size classes declining rapidly. In contrast, k-dominance curves were less sensitive to fishing pressure. Importantly, however, although most community-level metrics showed clear trends in response to fishing, single-species declines in spawning stock biomass were the most sensitive indicators of fishing effects

2007
The central tenet to Community Based Fisheries Management (CBFM) is that users dependent on a common resource, in this case fishers and other households depending on wild fish to catch, will harvest that resource in a sustainable manner by adhering to sound environmental practices. However, fish stocks become quickly over¬exploited, when outsiders control the fishing for maximum profit and local inhabitants have no option but resorting to poaching. This is where the CBFM-SSEA project has come in. Starting from the assumption that involvement of local fishers along with the other villagers is an absolute requirement in sustainable natural resource management, CBFM-SSEA aims to transferring fishing rights of local water bodies directly to local fisher groups. Under the CBFM-SSEA project, six 'Community Based Organisations' (CBO) have been formed around six waterbodies. Through motivation, training, awareness and meetings by the partner NGO staff CBOs are becoming local grassroots institutions, capable of ascertaining long term access to 'their' water body and implementing ecologically sound fisheries management practices. The fishers from the CBO membership were then organised in Groups headed by their own elected 'Beel Management Committee' (BMC) for managing the water body.
