Considered a management unit: An aquatic resource or fishery is declared as [Fishery] Management Unit if it is effectively the focus for the application of selected management methods and measures, within the broader framework of a management system. According to the FAO Glossary for Responsible Fishing, "a Fishery Management Unit (FMU) is a fishery or a portion of a fishery identified in a Fishery Management Plan (FMP) relevant to the FMP's management objectives." FMU's may be organised around fisheries biological, geographic, economic, technical, social or ecological dimensions , and the makeup and attribute of a fishery management unit depends mainly on the FMP's management objectives. |
Jurisdictional distribution: Jurisdictional qualifier (e.g. "shared", "shared - highly migratory") of the aquatic resource related with its spatial distribution. |
Environmental group: Classification of the aquatic resource according to the environmental group (e.g. pelagic invertebrate, or demersal fish) to which the species belong. |
Reference Year: The Reference Year is the last year considered in the stock assessment and/or fishery status. |

Pelagic biomass estimates, as a whole and per anchovies and sardines, were analyzed. Assess Models Type: Others Results In this area there was an increase in biomass in the last year. Trends of the western GSA 18 (from Vieste to Brindisi, historical surveys since 1987) show an abundance level similar to that of the years 1997-2002 for total pelagic biomass after the fall of the years 2003-05; this result is mainly due to the anchovy stock that has come back to the abundance level of 5-10 years ago. The results of the studies of small pelagic populations derived from the historical surveys in the western Adriatic Sea show that these populations are affected by large variability in time and space. This variability is mostly due to environmental factors and this is why an effort is currently in progress to find possible relations between abundance estimates and oceanographic parameters. Even if anchovy (both in Northern and Southern Adriatic) and sprat stock (in Northern Adriatic) showed good levels of abundance in 2006 survey they have just recovered from a previous worse condition; moreover sardine stock still shows a low level of abundance that is going on with continuity since 1998. Sci Advice For management considerations- It is reasonable not to increase the actual level of fishing effort on small pelagic fish
- SCSA endorsed the WG management advice and recommendations on anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) in GSA18.
For researchFishery data should be collected Management Advice Scientific advices for management consideration formulated by SCSA have been adopted by SAC.
