| 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. |
| | | | | | Habitat Bio Climatic Zone: Tropical. Vertical Dist: Demersal/Benthic. • Abnormal phenomena: 1) Elevated sea water temperature. 2) Harmful algal bloom. • Main climatological event associated: 1) El Nino. 2) Climate change. • Main impact on fisheries: 1) Coral bleaching. Habitat damaged. 2) Widespread mortality of coral reef fishes. Geo Dist Geo Dist: National Water Area Overview  | | Water Area Overview Brownspotted grouper - Seychelles (Mahe Plateau)

Bio Assess Uncertainty: Low Assess Empirical Approach Type: Expert Knowledge Management Management unit: Yes MP for Plateau Fishery for demersal resources developed, awaiting implementation. • Management actions planned: Demersal fishery management plan to be implemented 1st quarter 2017; minimum size limits, bag limits for recreational fishers, limit on number of traps, licencing system. • Difficulties/constraints encountered: Implementation of management plan delayed. Delayed due to lengthy stakeholders consultation process. Sources FAO. 2019. Report of the Eighth Session of the Scientific Committee of the Southwest Indian Ocean Fisheries Commission.
