He dishes on his life in Paris and overall love of food, forging and forests. Well, I was born in? Everything you see on the plate has the essence of trying to be alive.

We love to focus on healthy eating. And I do a lot of foraging. Fiskebar is a big fish restaurant in the old meat-packing district in Copenhagen. I got a table of 10 with my friends reserved over there! We get to sit and enjoy some good food and wine. We work with small sustainable? I work with very closely with this company that pays the fishers double who fish for better quality.

Ecosystem based fisheries management: In the late 19th Century, in the North Sea, where British steam trawlers were first deployed, it took only a few years for the accumulated coastal stocks of flatfish and other demersal groups to be depleted, and for the trawlers to be forced to move on to the Central North Sea, then further, all the way to Iceland. By the late s, the last large shelf areas previously not subjected to trawling had been depleted, as were most of the oceanic seamounts. All that is left now for further expansion of bottom trawling are very deep km populations of demersal fish, whose extremely low growth rates, associated with life spans of over years, essentially precludes sustainable exploitation.

Similarly worrying trends are occurring in open water ecosystems, where long-lining for tuna and other large pelagic fishes depletes these systems of large predators including sharks, now feeding an insatiable Asian soup fin market. Also, purse seining around floating objects i. The change in demersal and pelagic ecosystem structure resulting from such serial depletions can be quantified in various ways, one of them being through the decline of the trophic level in the landings of fisheries. This establishes that catches in most parts of the world, including North West Africa, are not sustainable, as they increasingly rely on fish originating from the bottom of marine food webs, i.

Moreover, ecosystem-based management will require routine use of marine 2 Cite as: West African marine ecosystems: Fisheries Centre Research Reports 12 7. West African marine ecosystems, M. Pauly 3protected areas with no-take zones at their core to allow rebuilding and maintenance of now depleted populations of slow-growing fishes. For such management to be put in place, a convincing case must be made that the bleak picture of global fisheries presented applies to the region for which a change in management regime is being proposed.

For this purpose, SIAP was designed, via its three main modules, to access three key types of data: Jointly, the results of the analyses to be conducted in these three modules will provide, for each country, a reliable synthesis of the long-term impacts of fishing on the marine ecosystems of the region, and hence of the option still available for their sustained exploitation. Thus, the SIAP project will help choose between two futures: The other would lead to a form of fisheries management involving strong action being taken to maintain the ecosystems upon which the fisheries are based.

This would include ecosystem-based criteria for the operation of local fisheries, and the licensing of foreign ones, and a strong reliance on spatial closures including relative no-take area as a tool for resource conservation. The SIAP project has organized, with a number of partners, an international symposium, held in Dakar, in June , at which these options and their biological, economic and societal implications were debated.

We hope that the SIAP project as a whole will be as successful as this symposium was. An Ecopath model is used to determine the impact of the recent development of elasmobranch and demersal fisheries in the region. This model provides a multispecies management strategy taking into consideration the trophic activities of all the predators present in the system humans, birds and apex predators. This model seems to be robust even if the estimated values of some of the initial parameters appear uncertain.

An Ecopath model of the continental shelf system for the period to , coinciding with the establishment of a statistical collection system and the undertaking of the first systematic surveys, was built to provide estimates of fisheries catches and biomass for different fish stocks.

This model takes into account the migration of important fish species such as tuna. The structure of the model is discussed and mixed trophic impact analysis was undertaken to determine the direct and indirect effects of biomass changes within and between groups in the system, including the effects of fishing. One result that stands out is the relatively modest effects of fishing on the system in the period to Fishing with artisanal handlines, the dominant gear type, had negative effects on target species such as pelagic and demersal predators, but fishing pressure for other groups was negligible.

The biomass estimates of the model, as well as the biomass estimates based on survey results, indicate that previous assessments of potential harvest, which ranged from 25 to 58 t, may have been too optimistic, particularly for demersal species.

The Cape Verde coastal ecosystem, K. Sto bberup et al. Unsustainable fishing practices coupled with an excessive level of investment in fishing capacity have resulted in serious degradation and low yields in the stocks of developed countries, creating new pressures on the resources of developing countries. These pressures are largely trans-national, highlighting the importance of regional aspects to resource management e. Efforts to improve the current state of affairs in fisheries include the introduction of the ecosystem approach to assess the direct and indirect effects of fishing e.

One possible tool for such an approach is Ecopath with Ecosim, which was developed using the mass-balance approach Christensen and Pauly ; Polovina Ecopath models are relatively straightforward to construct and require limited information as opposed to more data-driven approaches such as MSVPA, making it more feasible to apply in tropical scenarios such as in Cape Verde. Furthermore in connection with Ecopath, a rich theoretical framework exists for the analysis of energy flows or cycling in ecosystems and it is straightforward to compare these flows between different time periods in the same system, or among similarly structured systems Anon.

Ecopath was initially a deterministic steady-state approach model and it has been further developed since, making it possible to i address uncertainty around impact variables for balancing the model and deriving system-level metrics; and ii to simulate changes in fishing pattern and intensity through time and space in an ecosystem framework Christensen et al.

The islands are of volcanic origin, rising from a depth of at least 3 m, and the continental shelves, generally narrow and irregular, are limited to a total area of 5 km2 Bravo de Laguna The eastern islands Sal, Boavista, and Maio, form one system with a more extensive continental shelf compared to the other islands. Although the continental shelf area is of limited area, the EEZ of Cape Verde covers an area of about km2, much of which is not exploited by the national fisheries Figure 1.

Bathymetric lines indicate depths of m, 1 m, and 3 m, respectively, which is best seen around the Boavista-Maio continental shelf. There is a natural division between the north-western and eastern islands, which are separated by depths of approximately 3 m.

Pauly 53A simple calculation based on the model results would be a good way of assessing previous estimates of potential yields. But this simple calculation does not take into account the biomass of species that are of no commercial value.

Although an upper limit of 56 t of potential yield is too high, a doubling of catches appears to be feasible. However, the ecosystem effects of such an increase has to be studied, considering the effects on each of the ecosystem components and including direct and indirect effects as well as the effects on the more vulnerable groups. An important next step is to simulate the effects of increasing fishing pressure in the Cape Verde coastal ecosystem. Time series data on catches and fishing effort are essential for such a study covering the period to and may help to determine whether the model components have been correctly specified or if adjustments are necessary, in other words a calibration process.

Thus, we hope to contribute to the process of introducing the ecosystem approach to fisheries assessment in Cape Verde, which can lead to useful indicators for management purposes.
