The report published today further highlights the rise of "ocean-grabbing", the practice of pirating fish from the shores of developing countries, and the lack of global success in preserving small scale fisheries.
Fixed nets are common gears traditionally used in Mediterranean small scale fisheries (SSF).
However, attempts to develop and structure small scale fisheries have met limited success [ 40].
Interventions falling into this category include bio-fortification, home gardening, aquaculture, small scale fisheries, poultry development, animal husbandry, and dairy development.
We found a much smaller number of studies of bio-fortification interventions (2), small scale fisheries and aquaculture (3), dairy development (1), and animal husbandry and poultry development (1).
Study selection Included studies assessed effects of agricultural interventions aiming at improving the nutritional status of children (bio-fortification, home gardens, small scale fisheries and aquaculture, dairy development, and animal husbandry and poultry development).
Unlike the British, Russian, Japanese and American industrial whaling fleets of the 1950s that hunted the Antarctic whale population to the point of extinction, it has always been a small-scale fishery.
In such a rich environment, numerous fishes are being caught by small-scale fishery activities.
Failure to do so might result in an over-capacity issue and threaten the long-run development of an otherwise successful small-scale fishery.
In Greek waters, the diversification of small-scale fishery in terms of spatio-temporal operations, types of fishing gear, target species, and market pathways (Tzanatos et al. 2005) hinders various difficulties in monitoring the small-scale fisheries of an area.
One type of small-scale fishery that might be especially endangered by coastal impacts is beach (or estuarine) clam harvesting (McLachlan et al. 1996; Castilla and Defeo 2001; Defeo et al. 2009).
