| 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. |
| | | | | | Aq Res State Trend In the Cape Verde area, the most important
fisheries are those for tunas, with mean estimated
catch of 4 000t in the last 10 years. Spiny lobsters
( Palinurus charlestoni) are now considered to be
overexploited and a freeze in fishing effort has
been recommended. In 2001 demersal catch was
21 percent of the total catch in the artisanal
fishey. The estimated potentials for demersal are
3 000 to 5 000t and for small pelagic 4 500 to
6 500t (Carvalho, Morais and Nascimento, 1999). Habitat Bio Bottom Type: Unspecified. Depth Zone: Unspecified. Horizontal Dist: Unspecified. Vertical Dist: Unspecified. Geo Dist Geo Dist: Unspecified Water Area Overview  | | Water Area Overview All resources - Cape Verde
