Abstract

Assessing fisheries performance along ecological, social, economic, and institutional dimensions is crucial to comprehensively understanding the impact of management reforms on the current state of fish stocks and fishery sustainability. Using official fishery statistics, scientific survey data, and expert assessments, this study evaluates the performance of two representative marine fisheries in China, including the anchovy (Engraulis japonicus) fishery in Shandong and the mantis shrimp (Oratosquilla oratoria) fishery managed under a catch quota system in Tianjin. Results showed that the SAT-fish tool offered more comprehensive results when compared with FPIs applied to fisheries in China. The mantis shrimp fishery had better ecological, economic, and governance outcomes but both fisheries had very high social performance. Comparing the performance of the studied fisheries with the global top 10 % performing fisheries revealed that the mantis shrimp fishery was doing relatively well in twelve out of the sixteen dimensions, with strong management measures have been put in place. In contrast, improvements are needed especially in the Governance pillar of the anchovy fishery. The results provide a comprehensive overview of the current status of these marine fisheries, useful in guiding and prioritizing the planning of policies by taking into consideration weaknesses identified in each of the dimensions that we evaluated.

基于两个代表性案例的中国海洋渔业绩效评估

从生态、社会、经济和体制方面评估渔业绩效对于全面了解管理改革对鱼类种群现状和渔业可持续性的影响至关重要。利用官方渔业统计数据、科学调查数据和专家评估，本研究评估了中国两种具有代表性的海洋渔业的绩效，包括山东凤尾鱼（Engraulis japonicus）渔业和天津捕捞配额制度下的螳螂虾（Oratosquilla oratoria）渔业。结果表明，与应用于中国渔业的fpi相比，SAT-fish工具提供了更全面的结果。螳螂虾渔业具有较好的生态、经济和治理效果，但两者的社会绩效都很高。将研究渔业的表现与全球前10%的表现渔业进行比较，发现螳螂虾渔业在16个维度中的12个方面做得相对较好，并采取了强有力的管理措施。相比之下，凤尾鱼渔业的管理支柱尤其需要改进。研究结果全面概述了这些海洋渔业的现状，通过考虑到我们评估的每个方面所确定的弱点，有助于指导和确定政策规划的优先次序。

期刊介绍： Ocean & Coastal Management is the leading international journal dedicated to the study of all aspects of ocean and coastal management from the global to local levels. We publish rigorously peer-reviewed manuscripts from all disciplines, and inter-/trans-disciplinary and co-designed research, but all submissions must make clear the relevance to management and/or governance issues relevant to the sustainable development and conservation of oceans and coasts. Comparative studies (from sub-national to trans-national cases, and other management / policy arenas) are encouraged, as are studies that critically assess current management practices and governance approaches. Submissions involving robust analysis, development of theory, and improvement of management practice are especially welcome.
