An evaluation of the use of the Traditional Ecological Knowledge of the fishers in the management of their fisheries: the case of the Galician purse seine fleet ICES Annual Science Conference, A Coruña, 15-19 September 2014 Pablo Pita, Duarte Fernández-Vidal and Ramón Muíño

The use of the TEK of the fishers in the management TEK of fishermen can provide detailed spatial information in a way that is both quick and cost-efficient (Neis et al. 1999). TEK-based mapping may be very accurate (e.g. Anuchiracheeva et al. 2003; Aswani and Lauer 2006). Aswani, S., and Lauer, M. 2006.

The use of the TEK of the fishers in the management However TEK has been hardly integrated into fisheries management models (Huntington 2000), partly because the lack of studies analysing the reliability and accuracy of the results.

The purse seine fishery of Galicia 4% of the 5000 coastal vessels. 16% of the total fishing power. 33% of the landings. 10% of the first sale value. Scientific spatial knowledge on the fishery is limited or non-existent. Source: Instituto Galego de Estadística (2014) Source: http://www.pescadegalicia.com (2014)

The purse seine fishery of the Ría of Arousa 30 vessels Our study area in the Ría of Arousa Source: http://www.pescadegalicia.com (2014)

TEK-based cartography of fishing grounds We identified local experts by a snowball procedure and performed personal interviews with maps to fishers and skippers, including 3 purse seine vessels. In the interviews, they sketched the extension of the areas where they fish each target species. The information was introduced in a GIS superimposing the information obtained from each fisher to achieve a single layer.

TEK-based cartography of fishing grounds 41 species in 456 km2. 63% finfish. 22% molluscs. 12% crustaceans. 2% equinoderms.

Coincidences TEK cartography and fisheries monitoring Logistic GAM (Hastie and Tibshirani 1990): positions of the fishing hauls in layers of the TEK-based fishing ground cartography. Even in a multi-species fishery. The fishers tended to fish each species in the same areas included in the TEK cartography, especially when catches were reported in the GPS positions. Furthermore, T. trachurus, with a very detailed cartography, with many overlaps between informants and very captured, was mostly caught in fishing grounds indicated by more than one informant.
