Deep-bottom fish identification cards for small-scale fishermen
2013
These identification cards were produced to help improve catch data and statistics from small-scale vessels that regularly target deep-bottom fish species. With a better understanding of small-scale vessel catches, regional fisheries managers can ensure that stocks are better managed throughout their range and that small-scale fishermen get more recognition and support for their contribution to food security and employment at the local level. The most likely users of these cards are small-scale fishers who actively target deep-bottom fish stocks, along with fishery officers who are tasked with monitoring these fisheries. Fisheries training institutions are other potential users. The cards are printed on plastic and form a pocket-size booklet, easy to carry onboard fishing vessels or at offloading places where catch data can be recorded. Fifty species commonly encountered by small scale fishermen are described.
