Commercial fish of the South East Pacific: international management measures and stocks status
Abstract
South Pacific jack mackerel is the main fishery object in the South Pacific. Jack mackerel maximum total catch reached almost 5 million tons. Status of jack mackerel stock was scrutinized in 1978–1991 during intensive fisheries by USSR fleet. Fisheries fleet advices were developed according studies results. Advices did not permit destabilized status of jack mackerel stock. Chilean fisherman caught 4.4 million tons of jack mackerel in 1995. It declined jack mackerel biomass sharply. Established in 2012 Convention on the Conservation and management of high seas fishery resources in the South Pacific Ocean placed a limitation on jack mackerel fishery according the stocks status. These measures are changed every year. Conservation measures caused stock restoration in the South East Pacific which be observed in recent years. Target fisheries of chub mackerel and southern rays bream don’t occur. These species are bycatch in target jack mackerel fishery. Status of their stocks gives no reason for concern.
